Discoloration Pelagos V6F V4 bezel!

[YH93]

I've owned my Pelagos for about 3 weeks now. I'm very satisfied with it. One thing really annoys me though, the white bezel markers on the rotating bezel are discoloring and are becoming yellowish/brownish. instead of bright white. Especially the 12 and 1 o'clock marker look bad.
Is this a common issue on the V6F and can it be fixed by cleaning it or whatsoever? If yes, what substance should I use to clean it without damaging the watch and messing up the black surface?

Oh, damn... hope that will not happen to mine (don't know who's the maker)... ATM (after months) is still white...
Sorry for you mate...

the older pelagos reps had a thin film on the top of the bezel that would peel or discolor. not sure if its the same deal with yours, but rubbing alcohol took the film off without damaging anything else. Theres a thread buried on here somewhere

It may be low quality paint that get burned in direct sunlight but first you have to check it.

So, with a clean, soft cloth and some water with dishwashing soap, rub it like a mark of pen on our hand.
If the discoloratiion is been done by a sleeve of yours, packaging etc, will probably clean up.

If you prove that this is due to low quality color, you can source a new as spare part or use a gen one..
I can't see clear in your photo. If you detect any kind of red, pink etc. tint, means that couldn't be done by sunlight.

Very nice watch, if you like avoid wearing it on your wrist bones. Almost an inch higner is its' wearing position and safer for your hand and its' crown

I read the thread indeed. Doesn't apply to newer ones if I'm correct.

I cleaned it thoroughly with a sponge and dishwashing soap and it seems like it improved. Please see below, what do you think?

I can't see anything.. i copy it and squize the color out in every color channel of it.. nothing
I saturate the universe to look like ozora fest and still nothing... sorry

did you remember to wear any brand new shirt the past days? any new sofa? a watch box or a pouch?

If you can see that a small amount remains, try diferend soap but don't apply more strength.
If it is "reddish" the sun will burn it soon.

I know how wear a watch ...

sorry, i 'm a two wheeler and it's one of my things, you will never see my shoe laces also

You can use isopropyl alcohol. But be very careful because it solves the color!!!
After cleaning my bezel still remains bright white and clean.

Okay, I might have found the cause of all this.

With my glasses came a soft sheet of cloth. I use this cloth to clean fingerprints and dust off my watch every day.

The color of this cloth however, is dark brown. I was thinking, maybe, this cloth's color 'infected' my bezel while cleaning it?


I've been cleaning the bezel more aggressively with a sponge and detergent and it's gotten much whiter: https://imgur.com/a/NX90DK4
I'll do another round with isopropyl next week to check if it gets even better.

Please do not use very much isoprop on a cloth and be sure you‘re working fast. Otherwise you‘ll end up with a bezel with empty engravings...

Did the triangle lume paint get smudged off? In your last picture it looks smeared onto the ceramic
