New Member Intro w/Couple of questions
My first Rolex was a stainless/gold date just 1960's vintage. it had the gold/stainless band and stainless clasp. it felt great. Then I traded it in for an Explorer II with a stainless band. After a few weeks my wrist broke out in a rash where the clasp touched my wrist. The rash disappeared when I stopped wearing the watch and reappeared when I started wearing it again. I deducted that I am allergic to the metal in the clasp. No other part of my wrist reacted like the skin touching the clasp. I have been told by more than one Rolex watch dealer that the stainless steel metal composition of the bands has never been changed. No one can explain why I never had the same reaction with my stainless/gold band. Any ideas. I have used a leather band for several years now but would like to use my stainless band if I could find a vintage clasp that would fit the Explorer steel band. Any ideas?

When Rolex changed their bracelet to 904L the nickel content increased sharply to around 25%..
This could be the cause of an allergy rash?

The only allergy i have is to certain metals. As in, i have to put clear nail polish over the inside of the button on jeans.
This usually means SS, gold, and up works well. NEVER had a rash from Rolex SS. Is your clasp maybe aftermarket? Just a thought, if you haven't bought it bnib from an AD.
