I was wearing my 15450 37mm Royal Oak doing the dishes my wrist was submerged in warm water for about minute. I wasn't thinking I normally take it off to do dishes. How ever around the crystal on the back and even on the edge of the back crystal I noticed a somewhat hard gunk. Now what ever it is wont come off the crystal. Could it be glue? Have I done something bad? Their does not seem to be any moister in the case. I did try to take pictures you will have to zoom in. I love my RO but is seems super fragile. Thanks for any help.

my first question is has it been sent in for pressure testing? An I serial should have had WR testing done by APSC by this point.

From what i can see though those look more like hard water deposits which should be able to be removed. Or possibly salt deposits from sweat since its on the back of the watch.

Agree...I would get it pressure tested and then use some warm water, soap, and a tooth brush to see if you can remove the built up residue

I have not sent it in for a pressure test but it is under wa so I can send it in. Thank you for your responses.

I have also experienced a similar incident but don't know whether it is the effect of reverse osmosis (RO) or not.
