Sometimes things are on the caseback, or hair falls from your eyelid, or ...
Being an amateur watchmaker of some 10 years experience, I don't have a pressure-controlled, filtered room like they do, but I know I try my best and still sometimes get odd things like a particle that can adhere to a case spacer, or hide in the gap between dial and movement, or underside of the rotor, or even come out of the date window, etc.
Fiber spoted under the glass of my 5817
While i was taking some macro pic for bovinecityn, I realise that there is some fiber under the sapphire case back of my 5817. Breguet has serviced this watch 2 years ago and i don't wear it often, so i guess those fibers, cause they are more than one, we...
My intention wasn't to tell that Breguet isn't as good as they should...
In fact i'm pretty happy with my breguet, what you see on the macro is almost impossible to spot with your eyes. And I like the brand so much that I have bought a Breguet 5920 last week. ...
I think they all do it!
My Rolex Batman has a dust particle at the 4pm marker and my Tudor Black bay Black also had 2 dust particles and finger print marks on the hands. It was hard to see but with a loupe I was shocked.
Exactly(!) and don't ever write about your findings in the comment section of a certain watch blog that also sells watches these days...
They will tell you that comments like yours are tiring, discouraging and full of unnecessary negativity because watches should be fun!
i am sorry, but I really dont understand what you want from me?
Also i dont understand " .......in the comment section of a certain watch blog, that also sells watches this days..." ???????? I think it can be only a confusion with another person. My post was a joke and it was signed like this " ) ". Otherwise, now we ...
Anyway, the watch is no longer under warranty since few months, so i think i will just wait 1 year or 2 and if I have any problem, I'll send it back to service. [nt]
BUT you can be sure that i'll check all my watch back from service with my Loupe Sytem.
That's unfortunate, but happens all too often!
My Blancpain Bathyscaphe was bought brand new, and the caseback was clean as can be, I know because I took many macro photos like yours. After a few months I noticed a quite large white spec of dust pop out of nowhere. It's frustrating and unfortunate, bu...

Does the Shizukuishi studio have a particle free room?
I need to check out their youtube video again.
Absolutely it does; photos to prove it
We put on gowns, booties, and hats and then walked over sticky mats then through a downdraft "air shower" room with exit vents on the floor before being admitted. The insider's view The outsider's view. Everyone "not clean" is kept back by glass walls and...
I totally understand these things can be unavoidable but
sometimes I've seen dust particles glaringly sitting on a dark dial watch on the AD shelf. Not sure how those things get by final QC...
If you ever need some advice on cleanrooms ...
... I can help you in the right direction my friend. Bim
