nnomad Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I just wonder, if its ok to use those little pressurized cans with air in order to clean dust from inside the watch and movement or is it by far a better idea to use a blower?... cheers, A.

ubiquitous Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Better to use a blower; canned air contains chemicals that can damage dials, hands, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLudlowe Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Canned air has a lot of power, it can blow small parts clear across the room and damage a balance wheel. Better to use a blower, much more control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yep, canned air is powerfull enough to turn your hairspring into a tangled heap in no time. Good thought but a bad idea. Asking first was a very good idea tho Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I use canned air for making sure the inside of the case is nice and clean before reassembling a watch. That's when you need pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
