Pete, the mighty Vintage Pusher!

1675-David · 30 August 2012, 08:53 PM

Are you sure it's nickel allergy?

SSdayton · 30 August 2012, 08:53 PM

Pete I just can't do it! I'm a firm believer "in more than one way to skin a cat"

SSdayton · 30 August 2012, 08:54 PM

90% wear a Raymond Weil stainless steel with no issues

Pete17 · 30 August 2012, 09:05 PM

and a 100% wear a Rolex 306L case with no issues.

Cheers

SPACE-DWELLER · 30 August 2012, 09:10 PM

Apart from steel pitting where you don't see it!

Back to topic: I'd consult your doctor and have him/her do a test to see if you react allergically to Nickel... still could be Chromium, too, like I suggested in the other thread.

I'll cross my fingers for you that you'll soon have the eczema under control!

Pete17 · 30 August 2012, 09:46 PM

LOL I should've quit while I was ahead. LOL

Puffy · 30 August 2012, 09:56 PM

go Patek Aquanaut on rubber strap

kilyung · 30 August 2012, 10:10 PM

Go forged carbon AP.

Grumpy Badger · 30 August 2012, 10:34 PM

PVD Pro-Hunter/Project X...

...I'll get my coat...!

franklin · 30 August 2012, 10:38 PM

NATO strap would solve this issue.

InTime · 31 August 2012, 12:19 AM

def heard of it before... ha sucks to be them

NYMike · 31 August 2012, 12:31 AM

I am not sure modern rolex's would have nickel in them. There is a ban on Nickel in all Jewelry in Europe and other parts of the world, so I would imagine this extends to watches as well.

(though looking up 904l it would seem this was not the case)

Grey.Coupe · 31 August 2012, 02:10 AM

Happy to store it on my wrist for you while you figure something out---sorry you are having a problem...

Ravager135 · 31 August 2012, 02:17 AM

Nickle allergy is more common than you think. Usual location is from the caseback of the watch. Often times in dermatology if you see a circular erythematous patch on the extensor portion of the wrist it's pretty obvious. NATO straps do correct this problem though not the ideal.

Spoken like a doctor

Unfortunately, I have issues which cause me to experience a reaction to nickle too - but it's not all the time, only about 50% - typically when it's really hot. I just received a Tudor Pelagos and the titanium prevents any issues for me.

psv · 31 August 2012, 04:52 AM

Get the DSSD which as a titanium back.

drhanson · 31 August 2012, 05:15 AM

Yep - My wife can't wear anything with much Nickle content. I guess I'll have to wear all the Rolex's in the household!

SPACE-DWELLER · 31 August 2012, 05:33 AM

Check out your other thread... There exists a pad you can apply to the case back.

dpkong · 1 September 2012, 12:58 AM

I doubt it, never had this issue with other steel watches must be the nickel that's my guess

mikkolopez · 2 September 2012, 01:13 AM

Well if I was allergic to Rolex steel, I'd just take some anti-histamines and wear my Rollies everytime
