After noticing the stain on the dial of one of my watches it’s got me thinking about storage and upkeep of my mainly vintage collection. I’m slowly beginning to get the precious ones serviced but curious what other people do.
Should they be kept in the dark? Old tritium lume seems to yellow nicely but then puff and flake.
Does anyone use those plastic caseback protectors on the rear to stop wrist erosion?
I’m pretty careful when washing hands but is sweat an issue in summer if the seals are getting on?
I’m not a safe queen but don’t want to kill stuff without realising.
