Yes, if I thought I would have an allergy to a product that I felt some need to acquire over a competitor, I might do what I suggested. And I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either. I must be morally bereft. Please don't ban me for inciting anarchy. The dealer would take it back as it would be indistinguishable from new. When I rent a luxury car that "requires" high octane gas I fill up with the bargain stuff in as well, just to save 25 cents a gallon. Don't tell Hertz.
BTW America has nothing to do with it, so save your slurs for someone else. Quote:

I called rolex NY today. They basically said yes the SS has more nickel and if you're sensitive you should not buy. I'm sure they are playing it safe as if they tell you to buy one and then you have a problem....
she also said they tell people who have a problem to apply clear nail polish....but she could (or would) not say if it works I'm sad |

I think Rolex may have heard about the nickel content affecting some skin types.
Could it be that is why they have put a titanium lid on their DSSD? |

It was pretty clear talking to Rolex CS that they are aware.
She actually cautioned that some people can wear the SS at first and then the nickel causes them problems after six months of wearing the watch. |

I'm sure it can be removed with acetone or Cape Cod cloth (which apparently removes damaged anti-reflective coating on other watch brands.) Clear packing tape works for me, but I'm always a little embarrassed to have someone see a piece of Scotch tape on a $7k watch... Btw, I'm sure you've seen this Rolex vid about 904L steel... http://www.rolex.com/en#/world-of-ro...lex/904l-steel

Good quality NATO with PVD fittings is the logical step *IF* and when the skins heals. Can't wear any watch at the moment Should have kept the titanium Omega Seamaster Pro I sold 18 months ago
