Ik dacht altijd dat een (Stalen)Rolex kompleet uit 904L gemaakt werd,
blijkt dus niet zo te zijn, zie het verhaal hieronder.
maarja ik ben natuurlijk ook nog en Rolex rookie
Rolex uses 904L also 316L but the myth of the "special Rolex steel" comes up frequently. An employee of Rolex said in 2002: Quote.
At the moment, we have several companies all over the world, serving our needs for stainless steel. The watch cases and bracelets are all mainly made of X2CrNiMo17-12-2 which is the best compromise between the attributes of the variant materials. As usual, the steel is melted under vacuum, so we get an very pure base, which is easy to handle and allows an perfect polishing. I think, the same procedure as in every good (expensive gold) company,and now X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is used for parts than come into skin contact
Rolex does use indeed Steel 904L, but only for parts that are not in direct contact to the skin. 904 has a higher amount of Nickel than 316, so it is used for parts such as case ring bars screws pins etc.
X2CrNiMo17-12-2 is the formula for 316L SS.
Now perhaps this has changed,but I would doubt.Don't think Rolex would put anything on sale that could possible
cause a allergy without some sort of warning on label.
