Chemical Reaction of SS Heuers with Sun Lotion

Be aware of the fact that Sun Lotion of company Vichy showed reaction with SS metal from Heuers. As I saw first a sort of red colord cream I thought I hurt myself during yachting: but it turned out that this was not the case. I played with the Sun Lotions than and it react slightly with the metal to result in a red colored creamy thing.

I tested 3 different products of Vichy: ALL the same habbit.

Cleaning up is a drwaback too as essence gets very sticky in about 2-3 days.

Any other alchemistic experience with your watch?
