How to maintain gold-plated watches?

　　Gold-plated watches are timepieces that have undergone a gold-plating process. Because gold plating is not wear-resistant, the gold layer will gradually wear off, meaning proper care requires everyone's attention. So, how should you care for a gold-plated watch? Today, Xiao Ya will explain the maintenance methods for gold-plated watches so let us learn about them together.

　　What is a gold-plated watch?

　　When the gold plating layer on a watch is 14K, we generally refer to it as a gold-plated watch. Gold plating also contains 58.5% pure gold along with a specific amount of silver, while yellow gold-plated watches consist of a metal film made from copper, zinc and aluminium alloys. The thickness of the gold plating generally falls between 2UM, and most gold-plated watch cases exhibit a golden-yellow hue. Premium gold-plated layers possess relatively strong alkali-resistant and acid-resistant properties, whereas low-quality ones may cause the watch case to wear away and lose its lustre within a few months. Therefore, in daily life, you must prevent corrosive substances from damaging a gold-plated watch.

　　Maintenance methods for gold-plated watches

　　As mentioned earlier, the gold plating layer of a gold-plated watch contains a certain amount of silver. Due to the characteristics of silver, it reacts with certain gases in the air to form a black silver sulphide film on the surface, which affects the lustre of the watch. Furthermore, corrosive substances such as sweat can also cause the timepiece to discolour, whilst gold-plated layers scratched by sharp objects are relatively difficult to repair.

　　Before wearing a gold-plated watch, it is recommended to wipe the case first with a clean, soft cloth, or you can apply a layer of colourless nail polish and let it dry completely before wearing. Avoid contact with chemicals or vapours, such as perfume and gas, with sweat being the hazard to watch out for most in everyday life. Since sweat itself is highly corrosive, it is best not to wear a gold-plated watch if you experience prolonged sweating during the summer; should it come into contact with sweat, please wipe it clean immediately using a clean, soft cloth.
