I recieved this watch from a TD with this discoloration around the bezel screws. Couldnt see this in QC pics and its only noticeable at certain angles and lighting.

Is this tarnishing?

What are my options to fix this?

Yes it could be tarnish. I’ll suggest you replate the entire bezel/case if it bothers you.

Bummer that it’s tarnishing as soon as you get it. Great looking watch too.

gilrob Thank you, will give that a try. The rest of the watch is fine. Just around those bezel screws. Maybe its due to how its assembled, as I've seen this on other RG AP's in the same area.

Hi,

would recommend to Plate the Watch with real
gold plating if you like the Watch.

At your bezel the color will moving first.

No, all engravings, brushing, finish is like before.
