I fully admit I'm being too anal here, but these water marks on my dial drive me nuts. Never happened with my Brietlings (a lesser brand, but still.) Does anyone know why this happens? Any way to avoid it? I realize these questions may not have legitimate answers!

These marks are surely on the crystal, not the dial itself correct?

As for water marks drying on the crystal, just take a microfiber cloth (or your shirt when in a pinch) and give the crystal a nice polish. If the marks are stubborn, some Varaet will help

Yes, just dried up water on the dial.
Comes right off with t-shirt wiping.

My be happening because of oil residue on the crystal. The cleaner I suggested would help with that. You can also try using eyeglass cleaner you may have at home.

You mean on the crystal--don't think you'll be able to get dried up water on the dial off with a simple t-shirt wiping

soorg · 8 July 2015, 07:28 AM

Gah-yes, the crystal!

johneh · 8 July 2015, 07:31 AM

Have you ever looked at your car after it's been outside in the rain? If water dries on anything then chances are you're going to get a mark. Really nothing to worry about, whip it with your shirt and be done with it.

Lick thumb, rub crystal in circular motion. Marks will be gone.
