watchcollector Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I had two watches in the past with white dial and blue painted numbers (the IWC F.A. Jones and the Sinn 6100 Regulateur), and both of them had this problem - the blue painted numbers/letters started to wear off quickly after I bought them. Can you explain me why? Does the blue colour wears off more quickly than the other colours? Or it's just about the model of the watch, some models are crafted more poorer than others, for example... Or which should be the cause? Did this thing ever happened to you? Which of your watches had this problem? Is it the exposure in strong natural light, the differences in temperature, or what else can cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Blue pigmented dyes are traditionally the least resistant to fading from exposure to direct sun light.......They are also very sensitive to atmospheric ozone fading, but in a sealed watch environment that shouldn't be a factor....

watchcollector Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 So you say that maybe those watches were not sealed too well, or I simply had bad luck...or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
