nakortheblue Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've found some white crud on the side of the hands of my SOSF. It is mildly visible by naked eye and quite clear under the loupe. I suspect it is residue lume as it glows faintly when I turn off the lamp. The dealer will be sending my a new set of hands. I'm hoping it's not a systematic problem. I wonder if acetone can clean it off. Pics follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Out of curiosity, was this the lower cost Asian version? Not that it should matter since I am guessing all things are = except the movement at crystal. Just curious, -Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 New hands? You're kidding right? I can barely see anything! Nothing some rodico can't fix IMO. Just uncase the movement and gently rub the hands with some Rodico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakortheblue Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 no, this is the "eta" version. i prefer a rotor that is less noisy. Out of curiosity, was this the lower cost Asian version? Not that it should matter since I am guessing all things are = except the movement at crystal. Just curious, -Ronin there is sort of a white shadow to the hands even when seen with the naked eye from the white residue at the sides. maybe, i'll give that a try. the stuff looks stuck and dried to the side of the hands, though.

fakemaster Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Must be invisible on the wrist. If you absolutely must mess with it be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 If you are going to attempt a fix on this, do so, AFTER you get a better set! You may find either the promised replacements don't arrive, or what arrives is worse than existing. Leave well enough alone, until you have a comparison.

nakortheblue Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 you're right, fakey. i'm going to try to ignore it. can't be too hard on a rep, i guess. Must be invisible on the wrist. If you absolutely must mess with it be careful. great advice, thanks. If you are going to attempt a fix on this, do so, AFTER you get a better set!
