Adding lemon juice (acidic) to baking powder (alkaline) just releases carbon dioxide, which does nothing to clean the patina from the bronze and you are left with a more or less neutral solution. Lemon juice or citric acid alone will clean the watch far more effectively and in half the time.
You would be doing a lot less work if you used more lemon juice and actually made it submergible. I don’t personally like the patina on mine. To me it takes away the brilliance of the Bronze case Tudor uses. And I have the 43mm version which is a steel bronze so it doesn’t turn green but I still don’t like it.

This mix also removes the revolting green stains on your wrists after a hot sweaty day…

Have you actually submerged yours in this mixture and how did it turn out? How long did you leave it etc if you don't mind me asking? Thank you
@@barrycolmer324 it turned out fine. But you need to use a toothbrush.
@@TheCdM1981 great, many thanks . Does using a toothbrush leave any micro scratches though?
Does that have an influence on the following patina?
Does it somehow let it get a patina faster afterwards?
Doesn’t the lemon corrode the seals or the aluminum bezel?
No …that’s one of the reasons why they use aluminium

Try ketchup. Soak in ketchup. Water off.
Does it work on tudors? Doubt it
