Should I use a watch shaker? How often does a mechanical watch last? What should I pay attention to when it is waterproof?

For ordinary watches, the watch winder can provide enough kinetic energy after working for 5 hours. In addition to the quality of the watch winder, some people have problems with the watch winder or the use of the watch winder. improper. . Unless it is the kind of modified watch with a particularly long power reserve, the rotation time of the winder is required. Therefore, it must be remembered that the watch winder cannot keep rotating. Some people may think that the price of a good-quality meter winder will be too expensive. In fact, if there are only one or two watches, an ordinary meter winder is almost the same (you can choose a better one if you have conditions). According to the watch winder expert, the kind of winder he used that can hold 12 watches (pictured above) is only about $1299.99.

About the winding

I saw someone ask questions about the winding of the watch before, like whether to wind it up full? Regarding this question, Master Luo pointed out that the answer is that 80%, 90% is definitely better than 100%, because if the upper is too full, the internal spring of the watch will be too tight, which is sure for the watch. Will cause a certain impact. When you wind up, if you feel to bear it, you must not continue to twist it. Because the watch itself is a precision instrument, after you feel the strain, if you continue to force it, it may cause damage to the internal parts of the accessory.

Earlier, a netizen specifically asked him how often he had a piece of water ghost that he planned not to wear within a year. For this question, I can answer the answer now. Generally speaking, it is enough to wind a watch that is not worn once or twice a month. When manually winding, you don't need to adjust the time, just give the watch strength, basically it is not troublesome. Of course, if the watch is not worn for a long time, the most convenient way is to use a watch winder.

About waterproof

Generally, watches with a water resistance of more than 100 meters (including 100 meters) can swim, but for diving, you must choose different levels of professional diving watches according to different depths, such as 200 meters, 500 meters, or even 1000 meters. It should be noted that if you are swimming in sea water, you must clean up the watch as soon as possible, because sea water with higher salinity will cause some corrosion to the watch. You can rinse the watch with clean water or soak the watch in a container filled with clean water, but you must make sure that your crown is tightened during this process, and you must not flush the watch against the handle during rinsing. , The soaking time must not be too long. In short, be careful of water entering the watch, because if the watch really gets water inside and it is serious, even if it is repaired, the performance and replacement of the watch will be reduced. One more thing to remind everyone is that the watch should be repaired as soon as possible even if it does not affect the use of the watch, because serious problems may occur after a long time, which affects the performance and indicators of the watch.

Another thing that must be understood is that now, all watches are waterproof and not hot water. Because the rubber ring of the hot focus watch is affected, the heat expansion and contraction of the rubber will cause the watch to enter the water. It is no problem once or twice. It will still cause problems after a long time, and this practice will greatly reduce the replacement of the watch. For example, a watch's original maintenance period is 6 years. If you do this often, it may be defective after two years, such as not being waterproof. So be sure not to take a hot bath or sauna on the watch. However, it is not recommended to pay attention to the watch even when taking a bath in cold water, because the bath liquid may cause some corrosion, and if you accidentally touch the handle, it may cause water to enter the watch.

About appearance maintenance

How often is the appearance maintenance good? In fact, this is divided into seasons. If it is summer, it is generally maintained once every three months; if it is winter, it is generally maintained once in 6 months; in general, it is generally cleaned three times a year. Some people may find that they can clean at home, but with the professional ultrasonic cleaning index of the repair station, the cleaning work they can do is only to wash off some dust and foreign objects seen on the surface. The dust and foreign objects in the invisible gaps are actually not Did not wash off. And these invisible things will have a certain effect on the earrings over time.

In addition, professional cleaning will take apart the strap and clean it separately from the watch head to prevent water from entering the glasses. Simple cleaning at home may cause water to enter the watch. Of course, this does not mean that you can replace some cleaning liquid when you wash the strap by yourself, wash the strap clean (if necessary, you can use a toothbrush to brush it), then rinse the cleaning liquid, and finally dry the strap. Dry or blow dry with a hair dryer (do not blow too continuously). In this process, remember to keep the meter head away from water.
