Maybe sunflower oil?

I’ve read elsewhere that pencil erasers work as well. Hopefully a simple solution.

pretty confident that is not the case

The ingredients to this particular sunscreen are listed below. I am not a chemist so could not tell you what reacted to the bezel.

australian-gold-bronzing-dry-oil-spray-intensifier:

Water (Aqua), Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Caprylyl Gycol, Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Caramel, Glycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Panthenol, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Allantoin, Melanin, Tyrosine, Glyceyl Acrylate/Acrylic.

Its oil.....so I would think some kind of mild degreaser would work.

I agree, I would try some Dawn, even if you had to soak it for awhile and then use some type of brush.

I have gotten every type of sunscreen, oil, intensifier, bronzer, aloe, sand, alcohol, coconut oil . . . on my BLNR and never hand any issues.

Good luck.

oil from the sun....

For clarity, I didn’t try any of the above options yet. Some are a little bit risky to try maybe.

What should I try first?

Thanks to you all, also the less serious replies! :-)

RJRJRJ · 2 August 2018, 04:38 AM

Maybe those are spots where it got a tan. Give it a couple weeks for the tan to fade.

Dawn (or other brand) dish soap and a toothbrush should be your first option to try

This and a pencil eraser.

droptopman · 2 August 2018, 06:12 AM

Interesting. Sorry to hear this. I have a few ideas of how I would try to fix that. Just need to be careful to not use anything that would remove the platinum "dust" they use for the bezel numbers.

Wahlberg · 2 August 2018, 06:22 AM

If the bezel was steel I would ''who cares'' but the ceramic one keeps looking new so that's an issue.

This very same thing happened to me with grease from the BBQ grill. I used goo gone with a Q Tip.

E-mail Rolex! Or send a letter with a photo.

Bigblu10 · 2 August 2018, 08:22 AM

Try a little citrus oil on a Q tip, but keep it away from the numbers!

sutats · 2 August 2018, 09:21 AM

Sunoil the remainder of the bezel.

richard371 · 2 August 2018, 09:40 AM

Yes I find it hard to believe it would stain like that. Just do more research on what to try and stay clear of the numbers and seal on the crystal. The bezel is highly polished and cubic zr shouldn’t absorb suntan oil lol. I’m not an expert but I think it will come off. Try the dawn on cutip. I’ve sprayed on Coopertone with my ceramic Daytona on and try to avoid hitting it as much as possible.

Hello. I really do not know, but I am sure that your AD will be happy to provide that info. I believe that is the only way to find a reliable and safe solution to your problem.

I think I should give Rolex a call.
