Earlier this year I received a beautiful Rolex watch with stainless steel band from my husband. I''ve been wearing it daily for the last 6 months with no problems. Then about a month a go I started to get these rashes on my wrist where the band touchs my skin. I ignored it at first but it got worse. Finally I realized that it''s because I''m allergic to nickel. I should''ve known because I always have to wear nickel free earrings, and sometimes I get rashes from the buttons on my jeans if I wear them for a few days in a row. I did some googling and found out that Rolex stainless steel actually has pretty high nickel content to make it stronger. I''ve heard that you can paint a coat of clear nail polish to solve this problem, but I really don''t want to do that to my beautiful watch.
Anyone else has this problem? what can I do? I''d hate not to be able to wear the watch often. Please help!
