Gold-Plated Watch Maintenance Skills

The gold plating of most gilded watches is 14K gold, which contains a certain amount of silver besides 58.5% gold. Silver reacts with the volatile industrial emissions in the air and after that a coat of black silver sulfide is formed on the surface, which spoils the luster of the watch’s gold plating. Therefore, the contact with chemicals and exhaust gas should be avoided, such as coal gas, liquid gas and sulfur soap, and the watch should keep dry and clean. Better be cleaned with a piece of flannel cloth once a week. Besides, the chloride in sweat is very corrosive, which tarnishes gilded watches, so the sweat on a watch should be immediately wiped up.
The coating of yellow-plated watches consists of copper, zinc and aluminum alloy, whose luster fades away easily under poor maintenance. Before wearing it, better clean the watchcase with a clean soft cloth, and apply some colorless nail polish evenly on it, wear it after the nail polish is dry and repaint it every one or two months. This little trick can keep the luster of the watch from abrasion, as well as improve its brightness, and prevent sweat and water in the air from penetrating inside in summertime.
