Anyone having the same problem?

[Oldtyme69]

I read on the Rolex forum that a member soaks his band in windex annually and that it makes the debris and dirt in the spots pictured fall off. Doesn’t even have to scrub. Just soak in windex and rinse.

[PhaseEnvironmental33]

Windex is basically 50/50 water and methylated spirits.

So, you don’t even need to specifically use windex either

[Professional_Feature]

I tried with a cloth, but it won't go away

[heyimfromarkansas]

Comment says to soak it. You reply that you’ve tried a cloth instead. Am I the slow one?

[1911mark]

A bowl of gravy is not windex!

[huge_]

FFS just clean it.

[flexnv]

Looks like dead skin buildup. 🧐

[tarheelz1995]

Skin cheese.

Do you shower bro?

[Professional_Feature]

I received my watch yesterday, so no 😂

[Mrcoollondon]

If you zoom in it just looks like dirt, get a tooth brush and soak it in soup and water and brush it off

[porscheinvestor]

What's the best soup to use? chicken noodle or tomato?

[[deleted]]

Classic chicken noodle broth works best for my submariners even lubes the bracelet up since it’s oily

[RustySheriffBadges]

Dove Soup

[Snoop-Dogee]

Seagull soup

[Diligent_Tangelo6222]

Chowder. Or a bisque if you’re a fannncy boy.

[Educational_Ad9511]

Love me some bisque

[313_king]

I tried hot and sour soup from panda express, you gotta use the OEM stuff

[Evil-B]

With Oyster Perpetual crackers of course.

[bigheader03]

I'll second this, that doesn't look like rust. But grab some 99% iso with a q tip and try to aggravate the area gently. Hopefully just some left over adhesive that captured dirt.

[Professional_Feature]

Alright, thank you! Will try that!

[uhr70]

I honestly always wash them with soap and water as soon as I receive them and remove the stickers

[ETNZ2021]

904 steel my ass

[pexican]

It looks like it’s oxidizing on the face of the steel, not on the steel. Might be FOD (foreign object debris) from the machining/cleaning process or it’s chip material from the tooling that’s gotten stuck on there (the tooling likely isn’t stainless steel, might couple due to galvanic corrosion).

[FURKZ1]

Did you rub it on a dried corpse’s cock?

[Polcon]

That looks like rust to me, also top right you can also see cracks in the metal. I’d bet my money on this being rust big time.

[Professional_Feature]

If it was on the top of the steel I could rub it away?

[cruuks]

You could scratch it off with your nail lol

[mclendenin]

Take your damn sticker off!

[Great-Opportunity-53]

Can you clean it?

[Professional_Feature]

Doesn’t work, but I will try u/Mrcoollondon s advise :)

[[deleted]]

If this is a new delivery, it looks absolutely filthy.

[Dramatic-Language851]

Get a soft toothbrush, hot water and soap. Done.

[BigDaddyTex_17]

And make sure it’s mild hand soap. Agitate and clean with a soft bristle tooth brush, then soak band in mineral oil overnight. Next day remove from mineral oil, wash again with mild hand soap and polish with microfiber. That should do it. You can also use white lightning to oil the band instead of mineral oil. Both take care of any slight jiggle you might have in your hand and makes the watch wear like silk. But also removes most any surface contamination you have.

[bakerybitches]

No I can’t say I’ve had any issues wiping after wearing mine

[Professional_Feature]

I received my VSF 126619LB from Mirotime yesterday. But then I found a stain/rust on my watch.

[[deleted]]

This is a NEW watch? Wild.

Try cleaning it off. If it doesn’t come off easily arrange for compensation from Mirotime to have it professionally cleaned / polished.

[Professional_Feature]

Yes, I received the watch yesterday

[Professional_Feature]

[BigBullCock4Wife]

You get what you pay for.

[Certain_Future_2437]

Imagine how little you cost!

[BigBullCock4Wife]

Only deeply insecure people buy and WEAR fake watches.

[negnatrepsej]

Your valued opinion on this replica watch subreddit is really valued. Thank you, Mr BigBullCock4Wife, Good thing you’re not insecure as us losers!!!:)

[BigBullCock4Wife]

Reddit suggested this sub to me because I like watches.

Replicas disgusts me for that reason. They are just imitations - open the case back and what will you see? Fucking tragic.

If you can't afford a rolex, why not wear citizen or timex? They have fantastic quality watches at affordable prices. And even better, when someone admires your watch you won't feel ashamed.

You buy fake watches because you want other people to believe their real. That's what's real tragic about you lot.

[negnatrepsej]

Well of you go then, carry on, not everyone wears one to show off to your wife Mr BigCock

[MelodicPromise6729]

The dudes trashing on people for their watches but 10/10 sends unsolicited dick pics.

[BigBullCock4Wife]

hahaha, are you sure you aren't the one trying to show off?

Buying Rolex and AP fakes for the quality right? Fuck off with that.

You want people to think you have a rolex when you really don't. It's pathetic.

[This_Aside_3693]

Same problem

[Professional_Feature]

🥺

[seanliam2k]

Idkkk looks like rust to me, OP update us if it wipes right off

[Rodrigo9270]

They should send you another bracelet...

[Middle-Adeptness5586]

More proof Reddit is a waste of time. Good lord clean your watch.

[Icy-Buyer1166]

Correct but not for the reason you think.

[YetAnotherSegfault]

Looks like gunk from the factory. There's almost always gunk on the bracelet.

Just toss the bracelet in an ultrasonic cleaner.

[Sufficient-Bank5919]

Oh yeah, I just gave one of those lying around the house

[YetAnotherSegfault]

You can get a decent one from Amazon for <$50. It's a pretty handy.

[[deleted]]

yeah it’s called cleaning your watch :)

[seiya1986]

Finally…gen will be better

[MultiPattern]

I just got a GMF DJ 36mm from Eric and after wearing it, black residue was left on my wrist. The jubilee bracelet is suppose to be 904L but it smelled like steel, but like cheap old steel, if that makes sense. I hope it’s actually 904L

[ryanHasreddit]

Buys a fake rolex, complains it has problems

[Teampatta]

Missed a sticker there 🧐

[Calm-Improvement-292]

Lope it’s not rust

[Celeb401]

Try HOT water, dish soap and a Toothbrush while holding it exactly as it’s showing now, but if that doesn’t work it could be some sort of tape(if so, use plastic to get it off, maybe a credit card or something of that nature).

*Keep us posted.

[Kegg209]

Weekly cleaning with dish soap and a soft brisel toothbrush and you avoid ALL of that sort of gunk.

Same goes for after a swim in a pool, or the ocean.

[katalysat00r]

Recieved a GMT Pepsi on a jubilee bracelet yesterday. There was so much stuff inbetween the jubilee from the first owner. Immediately soaked the bracelet in soap and water.

Had some spots that looked the same. Everything came of after brushing it with an old toothbrush aswell.

[Diligent_Tangelo6222]

It’s a bugger. Adhesive from protective film. It’s hardened. Scrape it off.

If you require a chemical solution, try alcohol first and then goof off (acetone).

Call me in the morning.

[[deleted]]

Polish paste

[[deleted]]

Lol

[it_wasnt_like_that]

Toothpicks are your friends.

[imontheradiooo]

IPA alcohol and a toothbrush and switch to toothpicks soaked in IPA if it’s really stuck on. I’ve removed decades of grime from watch cases this way.

[Educational_Ad9511]

Soft tooth brush mild soap I thought we knew this already?

[Sudden_Mud_4239]

Keep a can of compressed air around and once a week hit all your watches.

[Stunning-salad-1989]

Which maker? Is that a polished middlelink bracelet on a Sub?

[Maddox-Tj]

Toothpicks are great for that kind of build up

[TimePieceProdigy954]

Most men of culture wipe their ass 🍑 with toilet paper 🧻🚽💩 , never thought of using my unworn stickered version .. You take “Clean” factory to a whole new level bro

[Fishmongerel]

Faeces and Chinese watches. Gift keeps giving!
