: I don't think it is correct to think of the
: steel that Rolex as being " a grade

: more expensive. Each alloy represents a
: complex package of properties some of which
: aren't relevant at all to what you want. For
: example, are you really concerned about
: intergranular corrosion after welding?
: That's what 316L is good at. How about
: corrosion resistance in hot acids? Most of
: us don't dip our wrists in such things. I
: think more has been made of than needs to
