    Can't do anything without polishing it up from my knowledge. Is it very serious? Just one link or all the links?

      Need some mild polishing I think.

      I will not use cape cod though.

      Will try those wet tissue type for jewelry in hardware store.
      So far I use on silver, gold. Find it much less abrasive than cape cod.
      If u use on SS will take some time to see black black.

          That's odd... I seen older ROLEX TT turn reddish with stretches (oxidisation)... but new GMTc TT and SUBc ???? Is it the way you store it ?

          Maybe a batch problem, which series and year u bought ?

          For the reddish stains RSC can polish using a cloth for you when under warrnaty... takes < 30 min if no crowd.

            Hi would like to know if the center gold links of TT are solid gold or just plated?

              GMT2c and SUbc are SOLID GOLD. If you have a spare link you can check it out yourself- SOLID!

                Any TT model is solid gold.

                  I brought both watches to RSC to get it check. I am surprise to hear from them that it is due oxidisation. They clean the bracelet and restore its shine FOC cos it is still under warranty. My question is how did the 18K gold will get oxidised? Although it is not my daily wear watches but I will keep it clean most of the time. Any SS model has this issue?

                    I suspect is a gold batch production problem. Can share the series of these 2 pieces ? i.e. late V, G, or random number ?

                      So far my M series Blue Sub and R series DJ do not have this problem. Maybe like what Bro DM101 have suspected, which is a batch problem.

                        Both TT are V series. One is late 2009 and the other is end 2010. Actually i rarely wear them as it is too blink for daily use. I think it tarnish due to hot atmosphere so i let them rest in aircon room now.

                          I bought a GMT2c TT very early V series V0XXXXXX in early 2009 no such problem all these years. Seldom wear always in safe though.

                              Yes of course.

                              Only the very old models have gold plated/capped models. Ever since about 20+ to 30 years ago...all gold models are solid 18/14k gold.
