On IWC boxes from that area of time it was black rubber that desinegrated. I thought it was kind of rubber too on the Omegaboxex, but I am not sure what is is. Feels like plastic, and then I though it was some sort of leater. Only the IWC boxex I now know is rubber.

And they get sticky, too.
The Nekid Watchmaker is very entertaining. What is interesting to me is that this treatment is all about restoration. If a watch were treated this way, I know exactly what would follow. I am interested to see if people think that the originality of the box matters.
The first thing we've learned about old Omega boxes... a particular smell... It was called ROMDS = Red Omega Mars Dust Syndrome
Describing or related to the bad quality of the red 1980s & 1990s Omega boxes, which deteriorated very fast... with a distinctive smell !
