Any Allergic Reactions Noted with WG?

As previously brought up some have experienced rashes or irritation with 904L steel.

Has anyone bought a WG piece and experienced irritation?

Not certain about the exact Rolex formulation however white gold is an alloy frequently containing palladium, manganese, or nickel. Those would be the metals to worry about. 18K gold is made with 25% other metals.

No. In two years of regular use. Best ask Rolex.

Take my word on this, the answer is yes. Platinum solves all the allergic issues. Also see solves the issue of what to do with the eccess cash. Unbelievable, the cost of items with 95% pure platinum.
