cubancurl Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have a white Chanel j12 that I love. IMO, most popular, most complemented watch ever. Anyway, the biggest flaw of this rep is the white ceramic links are so translucent that the black gunk or oil inside the links actually is visible, it gives it a grayish color especially on the underside which seems to be more translucent. The black gunk is always leaking out and is obvious on a white watch. I've tried cleaning with dish soap & windex with tooth brush but I can't get inside the links & the black gunk is endless even though I've worn the wstch daily for years. How do I get rid of it permenantly????!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave123 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I always used dish soap and a q-tip,worked fine on the wifes j12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubancurl Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Dave123; yes, my toothbrush temporarely removes the gunk but after a few days of wearing, there is black stuff seaping out again. How much of it can possibly be contained in that tiny hole in the link?? It never runs out!! Edited March 15, 2011 by cubancurl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Haven't tested it (yet) but my suggestion would be to give it an ultrasonic bath and then re-lube it with a product that promises to not attract gunk. Like the product in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubancurl Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi Ken. Dave123; I live in miami where even in the winter it is 80 degees and high humidity so my skin sweats under the watch which then causes the watch to 'sweat.'

mattheis Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Thats what I do with the wife's, carefully remove the bracelet and just let it soak in dish soap water, use a toothbrush to get in the cracks, let it sit on its side to drain. Dry as good as possible. Use a liquid wax polish to get in the links, remove excess to top it off. Edited March 15, 2011 by mattheis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 There's a great little ultrasonic cleaner shaped like an egg, on Meritline. Every month or so they put it on sale for $19 *shipped* .. the cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
