Why does a Rolex watch get foggy?

It is a common phen omen on that fog occ urs when the c lock is used for a long time .

Gener ally speaking , there are two main causes of the c lock fog : water vapor in the air inside the watch : during the assemb ly of the watch , some air remains inside the watch , these air contain water vapor .

When the c lock is indo ors to out do ors , especially in the north ern regions where the temperature difference is large , the water vapor in the c lock en co un ters cold air and li que fies into small water dr ople ts , form ing fog .

Usu ally , this fog will disappe ar on its own , and there is no problem .

Ag ing of water pro of ring : The water pro of ring of a watch will age over time , caus ing a small amount of mo ist ure to enter the inside of the watch .

When the temperature is high , these mo ist ures exist in a g ase ous state , but when the external temperature dr ops , the mo ist ure cond enses and becomes a liquid , form ing a mist .

Many friends may try to solve the problem on their own when they en counter such a situation .

For example , if there is only a small amount of fog in the watch , you can put the watch in the sh ade in a wind y place , and if you leave it for a while , the fog will usually disper se on its own .

Or turn the c lock up side down , put the dial inside , the bottom out , and even if you turn it on for several hours , it will have the effect of rem ov ing fog .

Another method is to put a partic ulate si lica gel in a sea led contain er with the watch , and it can effectiv ely remove the mist after a few hours .

You can also use a dr yer to dry it , but be careful not to let the temperature get too high , so as not to de form the watch or damage other parts in the high temperature , and use a soft wind to dry slow ly .
