The first time you get your hands on a super clone watch, you immediately feel it like the weight of it, the polish of it, the silky sweep of the second hand. It’s as if you are wearing precision. But all of that also comes with a quiet responsibility: These watches may be high-end replicas, but they are made just like the real thing, with their delicate mechanics, oils, and tolerances.
That’s not something most people consider much until the day their watch begins running slow or a little moisture somehow seeps under the crystal. By then, it’s too late.
This is a guide for the owner who wants to take care of their super clone like a collector takes care of a Swiss original with intention, skill, and the respect a mechanical machine deserves.
Why Your Super Clone Watch Needs Proper Care
Even high-grade super clones, constructed with 904L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, AR-coated lenses, ceramic bezels, and 28,800 VPH automatic movements, face the same vulnerabilities as genuine watches:
- Dust interferes with the movement
- Moisture compromises gaskets and lubricants
- Impacts throw off accuracy or damage internal gears
- Chemicals fade plating and degrade seals
- Magnetism causes the movement to run fast/slow
Super clone watches from Luxury Clone Watch are built with tight tolerances and high-grade materials, but no mechanical watch is immune to damage without proper care.
To clean a super clone watch safely, wipe it with a microfiber cloth, use a soft toothbrush with mild soap to clean the bracelet and case, rinse with low-flow lukewarm water, and dry completely. Make sure the crown is fully screwed down and never use alcohol, glass cleaner, or ultrasonic machines.
Good maintenance = better accuracy, longer lifespan, and preserved resale value.
Daily Care Practices to Keep Your Watch Looking New
Daily wear exposes your watch to sweat, oils, dust, and friction. These small things, if left unmanaged, slowly dull the finish and affect performance.
Wipe Your Watch Regularly
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to remove:
- Sweat
- Fingerprints
- Dust
- Skin oils
This prevents buildup that can sneak into bracelet links or the caseback. You will only need a deeper cleaning once every 2-3 weeks.
How to Clean a Super Clone Watch (Proper Method)
Regular cleaning keeps your watch sharp and prevents grime from entering sensitive areas.
Before starting the cleaning process, you will need:
- Soft microfiber cloth
- Soft-bristled toothbrush
- Lukewarm water
- Mild, chemical-free soap (baby shampoo is ideal)
Important: Before using water, ensure the crown is fully screwed down. If the watch has not been pressure-tested in the last year, avoid running water directly on it.
Steps for Safe Cleaning:
- Lightly dampen the cloth or toothbrush with soapy water.
- Gently clean the bracelet, clasp, case, and caseback.
- Use the toothbrush to reach between bracelet links and under the bezel edges.
- Rinse under a low-flow lukewarm stream (never a strong stream).
- Pat dry using a clean microfiber cloth.
- Clean the sapphire crystal using a dry cloth only. No glass cleaners or alcohol.
Mindful Wearing: Habits That Increase Watch Lifespan
A super clone is well-made, but it can break under consistent impacts and pressure. A little awareness can prevent damage.
1. Avoid Impacts
Door frames, dumbbells, and countertops are the enemies. Even small knocks can:
- Misalign hands
- Damage the balance wheels
- Produce accuracy issues
2. Keep It Away From Chemicals
Perfume, cologne, hairspray, sunscreen, and household cleaners can damage:
- AR coating
- Polished surfaces
- Gaskets
Always apply sprays before wearing your watch.
3. Protect It From Magnets
Avoid placing your watch near:
- Laptop speakers
- Magnetic phone cases
- Fridge magnets
- Handbags with magnetic clasps
Magnetism can cause deviations of 30–60 seconds per day.
4. Understand Water Resistance
Not all super clones have equal water protection.
- Submariner / Seamaster / Superocean clones → safe for swimming only if pressure-tested
- Dress watches → splash-resistant, not swim-proof
- Chronographs → sensitive around pusher seals
Never shower, steam-bathe, or sauna with any watch—super clone or genuine
Many watchmakers advise periodic testing and gasket replacement to keep water resistance reliable, not just relying on the original rating.

Super Clone Watch Long-Term Maintenance Tips
Super clone automatic movements, usually mimicking ETA 2824-2, 2836, or Rolex 3235 clones, need lubrication to prevent friction wear.
Inside your watch are dozens of tiny gears running on thin layers of oil. Over time:
- Oils dry
- Friction increases
- Accuracy drops
- Wear accelerates
So, every 3–5 years, your super clone watch needs servicing depending on daily usage.
Signs Your Watch Needs a Service
- Gaining/losing more than 20–30 seconds daily
- The rotor feels unusually noisy or shaky
- Moisture under the crystal
- Watch stops randomly
- Power reserve drops
Always choose a watchmaker familiar with automatic movements. Be honest by telling them it’s a super clone. This ensures they:
- Don’t order unnecessary genuine-only parts
- Adjust the movement accurately
- Avoid opening finishes improperly
A standard service includes:
- Disassembly
- Cleaning (not ultrasonic)
- Re-oiling
- Accuracy regulation
- Gasket inspection
- Water resistance test
A professional watchmaker will properly service the mechanics and give your watch the care it needs
Correct Storage: Protecting Your Watch When Not Worn
How you store your watch is just as important as how you wear it. Proper storage prevents scratches, dust accumulation, and damage.
- Keep it in a cool, dry place
- Avoid direct sunlight (UV fades some finishes)
- Store inside a padded watch box or travel roll
- Keep away from humid bathrooms
For automatic watches, wearing them at least once a week is necessary; otherwise, a simple watch winder will be needed. This maintains the main spring wound, the movement functioning, and prevents lubricants from settling.
Set the winder to a low TPD (turns per day, usually 650–750 is ideal for most movements.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid (Watch-Killers)
- Never open the caseback yourself: Never, under any circumstances, open the back of your watch. Doing so will compromise the watch’s sealing and waterproofing, allowing moisture and dust to enter.
- Do not use ultrasonic cleaners: Strong jewelry cleaning machines are too harsh, and they will shake locked parts loose or strip the finish.
- Do not use anything except a gentle cleaner: Avoid bleach, nail polish remover (acetone), or toothpaste, not all of them, but some can destroy and scratch the surface of the watch.
- Stop wearing it if something feels wrong: If your watch suddenly goes silent, starts making a weird noise, or just feels broken, stop using it right away. Forcing it can lead to much more damage to your Super clone watch.
Conclusion
Caring for a super clone watch is nearly identical to caring for a genuine luxury timepiece. With thoughtful daily habits, proper cleaning, safe storage, and periodic servicing, your watch will maintain its brilliant finish, smooth movement, and long-term reliability.
A little attention goes a long way.
