Nanuq Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 There are much quicker ways to dry your watch. Exercise caution however, there is a slight chance you'll hurt your seals with this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I guess it depends in who's blowing the watch hahahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 As long as the blow dryer is set no higher than WARM (not HOT), it should not damage anything. But, over time, you may prematurely dry out the rubber gaskets. So, if you want to use the hair dryer, be sure to have the watch professionally water-pressure tested at least yearly.

1680 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Personally I don't think it's necessary to dry it this way, I regularly clean my watches with water and soap and only dry and polish them with a soft towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been a horrible day today, more snow again and now rain but your two photos on your method of drying a watch made my day and gave me a good chuckle Thanks.

seraphe Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 There should be no need use hairdryer on a watch, unless it has absolutely no water resistance then you shouldn't even wash the watch at all. The only watches I know do not have such WR are the gen vintage ones with old gaskets. If you need to clean such watches, use a dry and clean toothbrush.

correctime Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have to wonder "why" you'd even feel the need to blow dry it ?? Wash it off, the dry it with a towel. Nanuq....you didn't say the "stove" drying method was for gens or reps. I'd like to try this with the gen 3035 build...it looks pretty safe to me....how long do I leave it on the fire ??

sgtguk Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 If you really wanna 'blow' your watch use a can of compressed air......gently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 anuq....you didn't say the "stove" drying method was for gens or reps. I'd like to try this with the gen 3035 build...it looks pretty safe to me....how long do I leave it on the fire ?? The stove drying method works equally well with gens or reps. The only sticking point is if you use a rep stove. I once tried this with a Genelal Erectric gas stove and the results weren't pretty. Start with 60 minutes at 100% heat and see if that dries the little sucker out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
