Hi guys just wanted to no if anyone has seen this before ? Seem like corrosion ?

tray_18 · 3 January 2013, 09:53 AM

It's titanium as well

It looks more like a stain to me. Have you tried cleaning it with warm, soapy water? You might also see if it comes off with a scotch brite pad.

Not scotch brite . It won't come off with soapy water tho

Do you have an AD you can take it to and have it steam cleaned?

masterserg · 4 January 2013, 01:19 AM

Has it been in contact with something too acidic? Fruit juice for example? I would have it sorted by a pro. That's a Breitling, right? Call them. If it's corrosion it might get worse, so you should probably take care of it ASAP.

Yeah, take it to an AD for a good cleaning and get that stopped now. If it is something reacting with the metal then it needs to be stopped before it gets worse.

It just needs a good cleaning.

Ti is about as resistant to corrosion as a metal can be.

Yes, but even a tough stainless will get spotted by lemon juice for example if not cleaned properly.

Yer it's a breitling. I wish I lived near a AD . I have no idea how it came about because it sits in the bed side table most of the time . I'm going on holidays at the end of the month and there is a AD near there so I will talk it there

I have two titanium breitlings and never seen anything like that before, but it does look like it got sprayed or splashed with something, perhapse a cleaning agent of some kind that was acidic and just corroded the surface enough to spot like that. When you send it in for service, they will refinish the whole thing. I got mine back from service and I thought it was a new band as it was my daily wear, and had taken some good dings and scrapes. It now looks a new as the day I bought it many years ago.
