I must admit I would have suspected corrosion due to the red colour. Why were pivots unaffected? As far as concentration of the epilame I guess it shows the importance of replenishing the epilame quite often in the bottle. Good info!

It has absolutely no effect at all over time. If it did it would show within a matter of minutes considering the to and froing at 8 beats per second. Not sure what girl youre refering to either? When i was an intern at Omega, the entire movement was epilamed in the 4 bath greiner cleaning machine...

I epilame the whole wheel and pallet, using an epilame bottle with basket. I dont use any heat, I used to but since epilame evaporates almost instantly it seemed unnecessary to me, and it works just as well.

If I told customers that I would get alot of returned watches and angry customers Its so easy to make a screwdowncrown, don't see why this is omitted in an otherwise fine watch.

I saw "30m water resistance" ? Sorry but this is not a sports watch, its hardly even useful for daily wear.... A screwdown crown and at least 100m is a must for me if one is to call it a sports watch... Epic fail by Cartier here on what is otherwise an extremely nice watch in this pricerange... lets

The original Nautilus is a great design, and imho does not work as an annual cal. Too narrow between the "eyes" is the feeling I get, and the moonphase completely malplace on this dial. Love the other new models but this one is unattractive imo.
