Remove bracelets

[RtTime]

About a year ago, I developed a rash on my wrist from the Oystersteel bracelets. My dermatologist prescribed medication however the rash would eventually re-appear after awhile with continued wearing of my watches. Finally I was compelled to substitute the Oystersteel bracelets with Vagenari rubber watch bands - no rash. It is strange to develop allergies in my later years. I've worn stainless steel bracelets for decades without any problems. C'est la vie!

Time to go PM

I am curious how your wrist will react to PM?

It's because you are allergic to nickel. 904L or whatever steel Rolex uses has a significant amount of nickel in it, causing your issue.

Install a reverse osmosis system for your home water and change to an unscented hypoallergenic soap or glycerin soap. New York water is terrible on skin.

Platinum is hypoallergenic

This. I know someone with the same allergy. 316 seems to be less of a problem than 904

Aah, 904...thanks for that correction.
