Yellow Gold in TT GMT declolorised unevenly
I have a TTc GMT which I have not put on for a while. When I took it out last night, I noticed the yellow gold in the bracelet decolorized differently. The center yellow gold links in the bracelet turns into a copper color whereas the 2 centre yellow links attached to the watch case remain the original light yellow color.
Has anyone had the same experience? Any idea how to fix it without scratching the center link? |

Try a jewelry / anti-tarnishing cloth.

Yellow Gold in TT GMT declolorised unevenly
Happened to my TT sub, a little bit of dishwashing liquid diluted with warm water and careful rubbing will remove most of it. Mine was like that because the watch was seldom worn.
If you're worried about doing it yourself, your AD might be able to help out.👍 Edit: It could be humidity. |

Just shower with it a couple of times?
My TT GMT is in the shower with me everyday and no miscoloring. |

I have the same issue on my TT GMT IIC. Haven't tried to do anything on it. Figure rolex will take care of that when I send it in for servicing in some years (it's barely 3 years old).

Those are the TT gods punishing you for not wearing that beautiful watch enough! :-)
