Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve noticed it happen a few times while wearing my 114060 at the beach.

Is this essentially just a mix of dirt and suntan lotion? Or is something else going on?

Salt in the water, air and perspiration is corrosive. It's probably just some of the steel rubbing of on your skin.

This is not harmful and is just dirt/microscopic metal from the bracelet sweating onto your skin.

Give that watch a good soapy bath, that's all. It happens.

The oil filter seals are probably leaking.

Cleaning the bracelet with liquid soap and a very soft toothbrush from time to time and the problem will disappear...

I’m not a medical doctor, but just wondering if it’s a bruise or not. I’ve seen that before on either this watch forum or maybe it was another watch forum. People have posted pictures showing bruising after wearing a watch too tight.

Either way, it’s definitely a good idea to thoroughly clean your watch using a soft tooth brush, Dawn dish soap and water.
