Agree.

Platinum should do it!

Seriously though, do you wear it tight and sweat under it?

What are you guys? Professional enablers?

Some people are allergic to gold.

It appears to be a kind of dermatitis that can be caused by bacteria or yeast from sweat glands. As mentioned, it can be caused by an allergy to nickel or a cleaning product. Experiment a little and see if you can narrow it down.

I have the same problem so am trying a Pelagos. Seems to work.

Wash your Rolex NIGHTLY with a hand soap like Dial, rinse, and dry with a cotton towel.

Most likely you have a nickel allergy. Avoid vitamins that contain nickel or other metals.

Try using Colloidal Silver Soap. Amazon has it. Here is the link. http://tinyurl.com/lwyw3ba I encourage you to read the reviews. I've used the soap on a rash I had on my arm. It really does work.

Of course you still need to look into what is causing the rash.

Good luck.

Is that what you have? A nickle allergy?

I'm almost certain it is a nickel allergy. I have worn 3 different SS Rolex watches at different points in my life and they all cause the same reaction. It has to be in the watch itself and not a cleaning product or the like. Thanks

Vintage rubberb/leather/nato or pm.

Yes, according to my dermatologist.
Cortaid clears it up fast.

It's so frustrating! I just want to be able to wear my watch and not worry about it giving me a rash.

Is it like mine where it only causes a reaction under certain conditions or does it cause a reaction all the time?

I get something similar to yours. I have a cream I put on but what really helps me is I put a bandaid on the rash part. This way the Rolex metal doesn't make the rash worse because the bandaid separates it. The cream and bandaid is a good combination.

If it's just the clasp why don't you just put a piece of clear tape over it? Yall are thinking too hard...

[K3vin]

PS, I have a piece of cleartape on my clasp to prevent scratches from my bracelet... it has stuck on for months and you can't even tell it's there (I cut it to shape with a razor blade). Would recommend this to you.

I have the same problems, try nailpolish. That will do it. Just brush it on on the links and clasp and let it dry. Works for me

[Tri-Tip]

Ship your watch to me immediately...problem solved.

[joesetx]

I found a product that I use on my clasp to prevent desk diving marks on the clasp.

Maybe you could try some on the inside of the clasp to protect your skin.

It is a 3M plastic film that is intended as a paint protector for cars.

check ebay for samples of 3M Scotchgard 8mil Thick Clear Bra Paint Protection Film.

My thought exactly.

[HogwldFLTR]

If you shower with it on is it possible that the water trapped under the band is allowing some sort of reaction (bacterial/fungal) causing the problem and that it isn't allergic? I had that issue with rings when I was younger.
