How to clean a German watch that has got dust inside?

　　Nowadays, most German watches feature water-resistant and dust-resistant functions. Only German watches of inferior quality will allow a small amount of dust to enter over time. So how do you clean a German watch that has got dust inside? Let us take a look below.

　　Causes of dust entering a German watch

　　Under normal circumstances, the sealing of German watches is extremely high. What exactly are the causes of dust entering a German watch? Apart from someone casually removing the case back of the German watch themselves, there are primarily two reasons for dust ingress. First, you should check whether your watch glass is fitted tightly and whether it has developed cracks due to aging or looseness against the case (or bezel). Because poor sealing in a German watch usually leads to water ingress as well. The second reason is caused by internal wear, because the dust on the dial does not come from the outside.

　　Methods for cleaning dust from a German watch

　　Once you discover dust inside a German watch, do not casually remove the case back to clean it yourself. Instead, promptly take it to an after-sales or professional service centre for cleaning, and conduct regular water-resistance and timekeeping accuracy tests to ensure proper operation. Meanwhile, in our daily lives, we must also ensure that German watches do not come into contact with chemicals. Water-resistant watches protect against cold water rather than hot water, so do not wear them while bathing, and avoid steam to guarantee their water-resistant performance. Furthermore, after adjusting a German watch, remember to push the crown back in and press it down securely to prevent dust from entering.

　　Precautions for using a German watch

　　1, avoid bringing the watch close to magnetic clasps

　　Regardless of the model or high value, Noob factory watches are vulnerable to magnetic fields. For mechanical watches, the movement is the most susceptible to magnetic interference; while quartz watches do not have as many steel components, they are still significantly affected. Regarding this issue, men in particular should note not to place their watches near belt buckles, while women should keep their watches away from magnetic clasps on handbags.

　　2, wearing the watch while bathing or swimming

　　Although some replica watches from the N-factory can be worn while diving, they are in the minority. Standard watches can be worn while washing, but they cannot withstand prolonged immersion. Therefore, please do not wear your watch while swimming or bathing, and certainly do not take it into a sauna; the high temperatures will cause the watch to oxidise.

　　3, never taking it to a professional service centre for maintenance.

　　Watches are items subject to wear and tear. To ensure a longer lifespan, they must be taken to after-sales service for professional maintenance and servicing. As for how often maintenance is required, please consult the after-sales staff.
