Sea Charger.Meteorite Watch Sale

If you are referring to my pics no haze at all, one picture has a reflection of the window on it. Of my Android/Aragon watches one does have a slight haze that I had cleaned, no others thus far over the years. Of my many Invicta ones there have been some with haze to varying degrees no question they seem more prone to it. None have returned after getting cleaned, fingers crossed.
I posted before one of my Deep Blue watches got haze. And I see my older Bulova has just a little.
(Never a smoker in the house, kept in large cases)

This is what the Jeweler tells me. It is most common in mechanical watches, and in high humidity like Florida has, but some watches are just prone to it maybe not sealed well.
After being in an airconditioned environment for awhile, then when leaving air conditioning, going into very high humidity and high heat maybe combined with being in the direct strong sun here, that can cause a little moisture from oils that were cool to be extracted and end up as the haze seen even in a well sealed watch. It is exaggerated by the watch leaving a stored cold environment going into high heat and humidity over a period of time....
According to him he sees it more often here than he did in New York when he had his store there.
I have had a couple ...PURPLE HAZE Jimi Hendrix...broke my heart and I was not trippin' " I never inhaled " :grin: 😁 ...just a haze here in THE HUDSON VALLEY ...no temperature extremes ...not only that ...only I can see it and it drives me crazy...wifey sells them on the bay with FULL DISCLOSURE CRYSTAL HAS A SLIGHT HAZE...many bay folks no see 'um... CAN IT BE WORSE IN THE LAND OF FLOWERS CAUSE OF TEMP EXTREMES ? may B

but here in the HUDSON VALLEY it's off gassing or outgassing...we've had chemists and engineers on the fora over the years but I guess they faded away ...so @tampa8 out of my 500 I have only had a couple

so FLA temp extremes might be a definite may B as a catalyst I will give that NY JEWELER street cred

I never owned a slice of space rock METEORS which fall to earth and looks like dirt in the field before it is given " gem treatment " to highlight the witmanstatten pattern which I think is indicia of iron...thus occasional rust... as I have posted mammal blood is red from iron in older species like HORSE SHOE CRAB THE BLOOD IS BLUE BECAUSE IT IS COPPER BASED :geek:

but I have enjoyed mucho vicariously the space rock pix porn parade by fellow wits

apropos of nothing I learned recent that

all gold

is from A STAR THAT FELL TO EARTH BILLIONS OF YEARS AGO

AND THE MOLECULES FUSED TOGETHER BY FISSION that's why MINERS FIND THOSE GOLD VEINS

...yeah missed that " well the train pulled out the station " ROLLING STONES ...wailing like a blues man...1-OUNCE GOLD BARS AT COSTCO HEDGE AGAINST MONEY PRINTING DOLLAR DEGRADATION aka INFLATION

I wasn't even thinking about your photos when I made the comment. I was simply remarking about the dozens unworn I own afflicted with the problem. I would ASK the jeweler out of almost 400 trinkets that I own to explain why the only ones that haze up are the ones with mineral, K1 and some mystery mix proprietary blends that brands like Invicta (Flame Fusion) tend to use.

His explanation is flawed IMO. If his logic made sense it would not be isolated to Android, Aragon, Invicta, and Swiss Legend that use mineral or K1. The same brands that use sapphire crystals are all fine.

I own several dozen different brands for a wide variety of companies. Just in micro-brands I can rattle off 40 brands I own. That's not counting mainstream brands or AliExpress brands like San Martin and many others. All other brands I can't find one with haze. Even the handful that use mineral don't have haze. Wing's stuff is at the top of the hit parade out of the four brands that I mentioned. I could clean a dozen of his crap trinkets with haze and it bounces back.
 
Android/Aragon is by far the biggest culprit in my collection leaving brands like Invicta in the dust. It has nothing to do with quartz or mechanical. Haze from Wing or any other brand does not discriminate on the type of movement quartz or mechanical.

Years ago when Marc from Island watch was a relatively small company he sold Android. He sent me two replacements because one I picked up had haze. Shortly thereafter the brand was dropped from his lineup. The same thing happened with SeriousWatches who later discontinued selling the brand.

I don't have proof that Wing's shabby quality control and problems were factors in third-party stores dumping the brand. I'm a little foggy on connecting the dots there. Android was at it's peak of popularity at the time, but bad QC likely would not be a vote of confidence.

The haze is from out gassing and has no correlation to humidity or how the watches are stored. Invicta and android/aragon are well known to be terrible in the foggy crystal category. Sapphire crystals seem to be fog free. I fear any jeweler that does not know this
 
The photos are mine below and they are a few examples of quartz. Never worn .. All are stored away from sunlight and moisture in case that hold ten to twelve trinkets. Kept inside the case with the trinkets are desiccants packets which are usually shipped with trinkets to prevent humidity from causing issues.

At least one of mine is quartz also. I don't think all the places are saying it's the only reason at all but is a reason.

I have many more automatics with the haze issue, but I chalk that up to having four or five times the number of mechanical compared to quartz. I stopped buying quartz years ago, but on a rare occasion if it's something I like that only comes in a quartz I will buy.
