Rolex Stainless Steel Case Corrosion of a DateJust.

Rolex uses what they think is a very specially alloyed stainless steel that is super strong and according to Rolex won't corrode.  However, this is not the case at all.  Their alloy might be "special" but it still corrodes and in many cases at a very alarming rate.

 
The picture above shows one of the lug ends with obvious pitting caused by excessive corrosion.

 
This is the case back that is pitted from corrosion.
