As I understand it, in metallurgy stainless steel is defined as an iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of 11.5 wt% chromium content. According to wiki, it is said that stainless steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it "stains less"), but it is not stain-proof.

I do wish it was stain proof since to call it stainless as opposed to stain-less does give the impression that it is relatively stain proof, which it isn't.

Why am I having a minor rant?

Well, I ain't tellin'.


Y'all have a nice day pals

Remember Zin, deep breaths and count to ten.

Failing that you'll have to take yet more medication.

Seriously though. I thought the SS used by most high end watch marques was surgical grade and was, in fact, stainless, instead of stain-less.

I've never had a problem with any of my watches staining.

I did give a lot more column inches to that exceptional pair of " woodworkers " from Downey in Califrornia :thumbup1:

Actually I'm more into American music. Conundrums though take in possibilities from a wider field


Hope you're enjoying your evening

Zin buddy,

I know how you look after your watches and you should be proud that your Speedy Pro is still in the excellent condition that it is in. A timepiece is worn in a vulnerable place. It is, unfortunately, inevitable that damage will occur when worn daily.

I used to have this attitude with all of my watches (I wouldn't even get my divers watches wet!) but I took on a new, more care-free attitude with my Speedy Pro G4 knowing that I wanted to wear it in all situations and knowing that it would eventually get damaged. I have just counted and there are already seven deep-ish scratches on the case and bracelet, two in the hesalite and many on the outside of the clasp. In two months.

I would prefer if they weren't there but I know I did them and they happened whilst I was enjoying wearing the watch. I also know that Bienne will remove all these blemishes when it is serviced.

I appreciate everyone is different and I respect that you want to keep your Speedy Pro immaculate. It really is a testament to your patience and diligence. But I have to say I am happier about wearing my watches now that I have this new attitude.

Don't be too hard on yourself mate.

Here endeth the lesson.

Hey Zin,sometimes I just write down random thoughts :wink:

Ringo sang " A Little Help From My Friends" and says that he wants and needs somebody to love and he often felt like he was the left out Beatle,John,Paul and George only let him sing a few tracks in his time with the Beatles :sad:
