Why the massive price difference though? Bronze isn't that more expensive than brass and the machining must be the same?
No idea really. Marine grade bronze Is about 20% more expensive than your average brass alloy I think.
Bronze is more resistant to corrosion etc. Maybe it's just more useful than brass.
Bronze ages better than brass though IMO. Makes your wrist less green also.
I think the answer is Meh.
