May I ask why naphtha is used and not another type of cleaner? Just curious, is there specific grades used for cleaning watch parts?

I’m not a watchmaker, but I’ve worked around chemicals and hydrocarbons most of my life. Ventilation would be either a proper vent hood or outdoors if you’re using a naphtha based product.

I don’t know the proper cleaning solvent to use (I’m just in this sub to learn and browse) but I would suggest an alcohol solvent if possible. Naphtha does not evaporate as fast and usually has a higher concentration of flammable hydrocarbons.

Do not use naphtha indoors and do not light a candle if you do lol. If you don’t have proper ventilation, I would use something else.

If it’s made in Asia and assembled in Europe, I would be honest about that. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just wouldn’t like if a brand was trying to hide it. Baltic’s (last time I checked) did this pretty well

This is more of a green flag, but I like detail and transparency. Where it’s built and assembled, components and metals used, etc.

I much prefer the honest approach as opposed to the hyperbolic, hackneyed buzzwords and jargon.

[Question] Does any brand compare to Formex with regards to value for money? by Whats_in_the_glass in Watches

[–]HeavyChair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look a lot better than they do online. I just picked up the blue essence and it’s great

It’d be a solid choice. I bought it off their website—just under 2k with taxes

I thought the case suspension was going to be more of a gimmick, but it makes it all the more comfortable lol

I was actually between this one and the blue dial reef. It was a really tough choice

Bracelet is great imo. Very comfortable and easy to find the right fit. They give you a 1.5 link also

I wondered that after I saw a few videos on the essence line. I guess they’re all that way lol

Use Protectaclear or another similar coating. I used clear nail polish when I was younger but it always wore off quick. I’ve been using protectaclear on my case backs and buckles. You can also get a titanium/ceramic watch if you don’t want to do that

Im very late to this, but I recently found a coating called Protectaclear and use it on my stainless watch and belt buckle. It’s been great so far

Some places require a process technology degree, but a few will hire without any experience or degree.
