Rolex Green Submariner Bezel Discoloration: Clean Factory Film Removal and Safe Cleaning Guide
When the bezel of your Rolex Green Submariner shows discoloration, the cause is often simple. If the watch is new, a transparent protective film may still be on the bezel. Removing it will reveal the original color.
Cleaning the Bezel
For stains or accumulated dirt, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild neutral detergent. Gently wipe the bezel in circular motions. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
Dealing with Coating Wear
If the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal or bezel is scratched, professional intervention is required. Do not attempt to polish it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
Replica Considerations
