For TFR members more clued in to science out there, I'm wondering if you have an answer to this.

My house is on public water. The water is very hard; it will leave the orange stains in the shower if nobody cleans it for an extended period. My understanding is that the stains are from the iron in the water, which reacts to the air when left to dry.

Why does nothing seem to happen when I clean my watch under the same water? Are there iron deposits on the watch that just don't interact with the stainless steel?
