Hi /adv/. Any leather watch owners here?
Pic related.
Over time the leather has darkened in general, but there are spots where it is significantly darker from getting liquids on it. Wearing it in the rain, getting oils on it, etc.
I'd rather it be a uniformly dark color all around so that liquids don't darken it in comparison to the rest of the band. I've considered just wiping it with water to achieve this but I don't think it will make it darker than the spots which have oil.
What do? I'd rather not buy a whole bottle of some specialized product for this small purpose, can I use olive oil? What are some possible undesirable effects?
My goal is not color preservation, but to keep the general look of leather without having to worry about uneven tone.
Thanks all
Also I should mention the pic is what it looked like before it was discolored.
