Yes, pictures will help ... also, which watch are we talking about?

I can see some reps being made with less quality steel doing that.

Most of the newer reps seem to be made with pretty good steel though.

If I had one that did that, I'd try a cape cod cloth. There's chemicals in the cloth that treat the metal and might prevent that from happening.

I would use the Cape Cod cloth too. When you use one on silver(a metal that tarnishes easily) it seems to keep it from corroding for a long time.
