Aging Silver and Bronze Watch Case Using Household Items - Watch Aging Guide #4

Time to add some patina to silver and bronze case! In the fourth part of our watch aging series, we'll age a silver-plated case and a bronze case using household items such as eggs, and vinegar.
These forced patina methods are reversible. So we'll go through how to clean the patina off of these cases to allow you to try again.
Pro tip: use the baking soda paste to clean the case before using eggs to age the case will get you the best result!

We're approaching the end of this watch aging guide series. Next one is strap aging and we'll have a complete vintage watch mod! Comment down below what you want us to do next 😉

Wow is all i have to say...thank you

I love your how-to´s. Might try this on my Bronze Panerai, but am not sure on the IWC.

[@DIYWatchClub]

Give it a go! Without the stone wash part, everything is actually quite reversible. Or, try it with our bronze case ;)

​@@DIYWatchClubcan do this with a complete build or better to take apart and do it with just the case.

Do one on ageing stainless 😅

[@DIYWatchClub]

Stainless steel can be aged but it'll required a special solution. Thinking how to approach it.

[@haqi7653]

What's the solution?​@@DIYWatchClub

You'll need Ferric Chloride, but it's not as safe to do as using eggs and sulpher gases. I use the etching fluid on knives and modifying them. Vinegar and lemon juice with a little heat also work on some stainless steels.

[@brockt5594]

@@gpsevinsixx I believe ferric chloride only works on carbon steels. I used to make knives too! Haha. That was my understanding with it. I could be wrong though.
I even tried gun blue on a watch 😆

[@superdrunkdnb]

I'm also curious.

[@adrianopiscopo]

Real question, can you still eat the eggs?
