Yachtmaster Bezel Tarnish?
I am very interested in buying a TT Yachtmaster. However, I would like to know other's opinion and/or clarification/experience with what appears to be a common tarnish/grime buildup on the unpolished portion of the bezel (within the nooks and crannies). Nearly every image of the watch that I see in "new" or factory/unworn condition spotlights this issue. It is basically a deal-breaker for me if this is the norm for this model, Thanks.

Can’t even see it. Wash with soap and water and a tooth brush once a week?

Looks like oil stains from handling. Soap should take care of that.

Acetone on a cotton wool tip swabs will do it.

I love the patina! If I had a ym I’d probably be rubbing the bezel all the time to bring out that look!

I'm new here so the sight won't let me post any pictures until I have 10 posts.
Can a platinum YM bezel that is scratched & dinged up on both the polished & blasted areas be refinished? What would the approximate cost be? Could/would Rolex replace it? Cost? |

I think it's normal on the nonceramic bezels. It's not worth the effort trying to keep it looking new.
