Hi Larry, reviving an old post. Is pitting a concern in normal day-to-day usage for modern 904L Rolexes, even with the occasional pool swim and salt water swim without rinsing afterwards?
Have there been a noticeable number of cases with 904L pitting? Thanks in advance. |

We should rinse after chlorine and salt water exposure because when it dries it leaves an abrasive film.

Or is it rare enough that we shouldn't be worried about unless we're in the pool or in the sea on a regular basis and just really abusing our watches by not cleaning them periodically? |

904L - Worth It ??? Case back Corrosion.. in Laymans Terms.
Quote:
It's not going to happen. It requires high concentrations of chemicals (including boiling in chlorides) to cause any damage to 904L. Example case: It can be boiled in 26% sodium chloride solution for 1000 hours without stress corrosion cracking. It's of no concern at all.
