How to Take Care of Diamond Watches

Bling is the new catch phrase. Or as my daughters would put it, "it's not the new phrase, but newer...maybe." Diamond watches are definitely luxury items that can be worn out and about and definitely command attention. A functional diamond watch is even better and that's what we are shooting for.

While a regular maintenance schedule is preferred, there are some things you can do to keep your watch up and running like clockwork- Literally. Here are some tips to help you keep those luxury diamond watches up and ticking like they should be.

Routinely cleaning your diamonds is a good idea. Do not use any stringent liquids though. Warm water and a cotton swab or q-tip will do just fine. For a deeper clean take your watch to a watch maker for cleaning. They know their watches much better than "Suzie was a clerk last week" down at the local jewelry mart. She might do fine cleaning rings, but most rings do not have a complicated set of gears on the inside that could become damaged.

Make sure your piece is secure before you leave for the evening. Not just the band either. Take the extra time to make sure that the diamonds are secure in their facets. Use a magnifying glass if you have to, but make sure none of the diamonds are lose. If they are, don't wear the piece. I know this isn't cool, but it will save you from crawling around on all fours. Diamonds are worse than contacts to find in a crowded room.

If you have a really nice diamond watch you no doubt do not wear it every day. It is a luxury piece meant for those times when you want to show off a little. Storing your diamond watch in a safe or sock drawer is a personal choice. Winding it is not. It is important to wind the watch whenever possible to keep the gears coated with the oil they need to run smoothly and avoid becoming bound up. Dry gears is a bad thing.

If you have additional crystals in your watch, make sure they are all in one piece. Even a hairline fracture can let in moisture which will damage your watch and cause all kinds of repair bills. If you see a loose or damaged crystal, have it replaced immediately.

Make sure you make time to have your watch examined by a professional. This is a good idea with any watch, but with diamond watches especially. A watch maker has all those cool lenses in there shop that you do not and they know how facets and mechanisms work. Visiting your local watch smith will ensure that your ticker keeps ticking and that your shiny parts keep shining... on the watch.

Diamond watches are definitely nice and a sure sign of prosperity and class. Keeping up with the diamonds and the watch can be a double responsibility if you want to maintain that image. Remember to take care of your fine piece of engineering and it will make sure you know what time it is.
