Tudor 925 silver cleaning advice
Starting to get a light golden patina on the lugs after 2 yrs. Aside from using silver polish what may work best?

I say enjoy the light golden patina. I have the same watch and am interested to see how far it goes.

Magic eraser from a grocery store or Amazon.

I find that interesting. I'd like to own one just to see how the Rolex silver alloy evolves. Presumably, it won't tarnish.

Silver is quite a resilient metal but just like gold can tarnish but easy to clean with silver polish but only when needed.Just look at all the silver metal stuff thats still around today many hundreds of years old.

It tarnishes. Mine was tarnished when I bought it just from sitting in the case. I used a magic eraser and removed the tarnish and now am watching it tarnish again. At some point I’ll probably remove it again, but it doesn’t really bother me/I kind of like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can remove that with a magic eraser. Only problem is some of those spots are kind of hard to get to. It’s not that big of a deal though as it’s hard to notice on the wrist. I’m getting a vanguard strap to better fill the space between the lugs.
But yes the watch definitely tarnishes! Kind of neat actually, but some will hate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here's a few pics. Almost 2 years old, never polished. Mostly sits in a drawer. I like the tarnish on the case but kinda clashes with the clean, crisp look of the dial and bezel.

How easy/difficult is it to remove the tarnish? Does it take alot of scrubbing or does it come off easily?

Thanks for confirming it does tarnish, in spite of what Rolex were saying when they released it. Still looks great to me, judging from pictures in this thread. |
