Storing watch in dehumidifier??
Cameras and lenses are best stored in a dehumidifier to prevent mold and moisture, and keep away dust. I have an electric dehumidifier for camera equipment. It looks like a wine cooler.
I've heard of people storing their watches in one for the same reasons. Does anyone here store (or has anyone heard of storing) watches in a dehumidifier?? |

Eh........no
![]() If the watch stored happens to be a Rolex, there is absolutely NO sense of doing it. Your Rolex is waterproof to at least 100 metres, and NO moisture or humidity or condensation whatsoever could penetrate the watch. ![]()

Have not heard of it; I would have 'mixed feelings' about it (effect con seals/gaskets, I think they would dry/crack). I understand for a device that is intended to be away from water, but with a 'water proof' Rolex...hmmm...interesting question....

Probably wouldn't hurt it...... this is one time I would agree with Spacey.
My floor safe has openings for a dehumidifier but I never installed one....Humidity here in the desert is about 3% on a good day, and gaskets and seals seem to hold up pretty well. Hey, how about in the humidor with your Cuban stogeys ![]() ![]() |

There was an article in a national magazine that said a high dollar watch should be stored in an airtight container (tupperware if nothing else.) I can't fathom (no pun intended) why this would be necessary for any kind of divers watch, for example. I mentioned it on here once before and they tried to send the boys in white coats after me!

Living in the Arizona Sonoran Desert, there's no need for a dehumidifier. It's as dry as it gets. If anything, my baby needs a little moisture every now and again.
