Skin Reaction to my First Rep VSF 124060

[Rx4Time]

I appreciate your suggestion & I really wish that was the answer; but I actually wore the VSF Sub really loosely to test that theory & got same skin reactions on both wrists(different days).

Hmmm that is disappointing. I sometimes get a similar mark when I wear my Panerai on rubber bracelet or the AP diver I used to own too tightly, most likely secondary to heat and sweat building up under it.

I'm giving up on this VSF Sub

Good decision
Next time, just listen to my first post

Yeah, I forgot that part. Remember reading that yesterday now. Have someone else wear it to see if they get a similar reaction? The fact that you're still getting a reaction through either a sticker or bandaid is a little weird and almost inexplicable. So weird.

Thanks again for your helpful suggestions. As I previously mentioned, Chinese Intelligence sent this VSF Sub to specifically target my DNA cuz they found out what I used to do in the US Military back in the day

Seems many are getting that with Apple Watch

Also, some literature

Is it true that nickel can cause allergies? And if so, can wearing a watch and bracelet made of nickel alloys be harmful to one's health? David Ko, Singapore

Absolutely. The Force is strong with you.

It's definitely perplexing. My VSF Sub may need an Exorcism

I actually researched Nickel allergy before posting. It is very strange that I still got skin reactions even after placing different barriers(plastic, etc.) under the caseback & on my wrists(tried on each wrist/different days). Time to move on from it. I really appreciate this forum & everyone's help.

What about giving it a good clean including ultrasonic bath (bracelet only) and trying again. Maybe the reaction comes from the filth inside the bracelet those things can be really dirty.

Maybe try wiping the inside of the bracelet off with a solvent like acetone before a good soap and water wash? Take it off the watch head first so you don't get any on the insert or gaskets.

The bracelet won’t cut it. The caseback also generates his rash

If we can get the rash to stop on the bracelet part of his wrist then at least we can narrow down if it's something on top of the surface of the metal versus the nickel in the steel alloy. He can always remove the case back and clean it the same way.

You could pop it on a big chain and wear it as a necklace

Thanks for the helpful suggestion. I'll try the acetone & good wash afterwards on the bracelet tomorrow.

I think I can fit one more!

When you wash it, it would be a good idea to put some of whatever soap/solvent you use on the other wrist to see if there is any reaction to that.

Otherwise you might have to get rid of that wrist. You might find a good replacement at a local second hand store.

When OP sells that watch, it will be the cleanest rep on Earth

Absolutely! They'll be able to wear this VSF Sub while performing Surgeries

I already found this replacement on eBay
