Watches crafted from **plated materials and K gold** are celebrated for their excellent **chemical stability and wear resistance**. However, white gold and rose gold, after prolonged wear, especially during the sweaty summer months, might exhibit slight discoloration. This is often due to the reaction between K gold and substances found in human sweat, such as **chlorides, lactic acid, and urea ammonia**, which can create minute quantities of dark chemical salts.
**Key maintenance tips include:**
1. To prevent corrosion caused by sweat in summer, it’s advisable to **regularly wipe the watch** gently with a damp cotton cloth to remove perspiration and dust.
2. After cleaning or wiping, use a **hairdryer** to dry the watch thoroughly. Avoid exposing your K gold or plated watch to harsh chemicals found in cleaning agents, cosmetics, or perfumes as these can further accelerate the discoloration process.
**Additional care advice:**
– Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to minimize the risk of color change or material degradation over time.
– If your watch features a leather strap in addition to its K gold or plated case, ensure the strap is also kept dry and clean, as leather is equally susceptible to damage from sweat and moisture.
– **Professional servicing** every 2-3 years is recommended to ensure the watch’s mechanism remains in prime condition and to check for any necessary repairs or replacements that might be needed for the K gold or plated components.
By adhering to these simple yet effective **care and maintenance guidelines**, you can ensure your plated or K gold watch retains its **beauty** and **functionality** for years to come.
