Many people bought Rolex watches after frugality, but found that the subsequent huge maintenance costs simply could not afford. As you all know, Rolex has always been famous for its precision and durability. So does it need maintenance? In fact, the question of whether to maintain or not depends on whether you have any requirements for the accuracy of watches. Some watches have not fallen or entered the water, even if they are not maintained, they can walk. But its accuracy will also decrease with the passage of time. Precision instruments have become collections.

Maintenance is to prevent wear and tear of parts inside the machine core, so that it has a longer accurate timing ability. Too long without maintenance, the deeper the internal wear and tear, how to save the latter is only a waste of effort. So when your watch is in such a state, it's almost time to take it to repair and maintain it!

____________

01. The maintenance period is up


In fact, there is no strict standard for the maintenance period. The maintenance period of the general mechanical watch is about 3 to 5 years. This is a more conventional statement, but it does not mean that if it is not maintained for 5 years, it will be broken. Some brands with better sealing technology, such as Omega, can maintain for 10 years.

Maintenance cycle depends on the frequency of use and environment. If you wear and exercise frequently, the maintenance cycle should be advanced appropriately, but if it is just idle, there are watches on the chain regularly. Maintenance cycle can be extended appropriately.

When the wearing time exceeds 3 to 5 years, it should be considered to send the watch to a professional maintenance organization for inspection, and then conduct a thorough cleaning and maintenance.

02. Water mist in the mirror

Some cousins will find out why a 100-meter waterproof watch will appear mist after washing their hands. Perhaps the waterproof apron is aging, causing water vapor to enter. The material of waterproof apron is rubber, which will age even if it is kept still, and it will accelerate the aging when it meets high temperature.

Because the waterproof rubber ring will be replaced in the larger maintenance of the general project, the waterproof effect will deteriorate whenever it aging. The maintenance period can also be estimated according to the waterproof effect. It is necessary to replace waterproof rubber ring in time to ensure waterproof performance and avoid corrosion of internal parts caused by water intake.

03. It can't walk properly.


When the newly bought watch was first worn, the travel time error was only one or two seconds, but after wearing it for a long time, why did the error get bigger and bigger? At this time, we should recall whether we have fallen or been magnetized. If there is a big error or stop after the watch bumps, it may be the loose influence of the internal parts.

The obvious characteristic of watches magnetized is that the travel time is accelerated. The general anti-magnetic watches do not achieve the overall anti-magnetic, and they will still be magnetized when they are often exposed to high-intensity magnetic field, which affects the travel time. Rolex and Omega have made great breakthroughs in antimagnetism. Antimagnetism watches have little influence on travel time even after contacting with strong magnets.

Watches as precision instruments, once not accurate, will lose the function of reading time. If it falls, it should be repaired. If it is magnetized, it should be degaussed in time to avoid causing more unnecessary losses.

04. The surface is scratched.


Wearing a watch on your hand, it will inevitably bump and bump on the desktop and other places. Even when typing, the strap will be pressed on the desktop and rubbed, resulting in scratches of all sizes. Precious metals are soft and more vulnerable to damage. Large scratches will affect the beauty of the watch.

Although the internal wear of the machine core is more severe, others can not see it, if the appearance of wear and tear is easy to see at a glance. So maintenance and repair not only need to consider the internal, external is also important, after all, no one wants to show an old and expensive watch to others. Don't grind it with toothpaste by yourself!

05. Speak about the cost


Maintenance is not as cheap as changing a few bucks of batteries. The cost of complete maintenance of watches generally varies from 10% to 20% of the price of watches, mainly depending on the complexity of the machine core. Good maintenance of watches does not think about how cheap it will be.

06. Draw the key points

Complete maintenance mainly includes appearance cleaning, basic repair of watch strap and buckle, overall oil washing maintenance of machine core, error detection of watch and waterproofing function, and restore the default value of each index as far as possible. In addition, full maintenance does not include polishing of exterior parts such as straps and heads.

Last sentence, if the watch is in the normal running situation (no stop or big error), there is no need to toss about blindly, deliberately open the cover and wash oil will only make it worse and worse, hands-on ability is not strong cousin, please carefully start, do not randomly disassemble!

What you need to do is to be waterproof, shockproof, magnetic proof, and take good care of it so that it can accompany you through every period of time. There may be countless watches in your life, and each watch can only have one you.

Of course, if you sell it second-hand or you want a replica watch

That's when I didn't say it.
