"Nickel Allergy"

-----

2003

I also have an allergy to nickel and was given a watch by a friend who has passed away. I would like to know if anyone has any knowledge of a product that can be placed on the back of the watch to prevent allergic reaction.

Thank you,

Some nail polish on the back side of the watch should do that job.

I am allergic to nickel, so belts bother my skin and I was told to put clear nail polish on the buckle. you'll have to re apply it every so often, but it should work
