Adjusting the time interval

Buying a watch is the same as buying a car, and it takes a lot of energy to keep a watch.TUDOR Royal M28323-0001 But when we wear a watch on a daily basis, we will always inadvertently cause wear and tear to the watch.

However, in addition to avoiding obvious external wear and tear, some inadvertent moves in life can also make your watch strike, and what are the most common ones?

1. Adjusting the time interval

I believe most of the watch lovers know that the watch adjusting time is absolutely not allowed to adjust the time and date between 9:00pm and 3:00am the next day.

Why? Because from 9:00pm, the gears of the calendar will start to run, and the date will be completed in the early hours of the morning, during which the gears are likely to be damaged if adjusted manually, and the calendar may be seriously misplaced.

ps. If you can't figure out the ampm, then just pick another time to adjust it ~ (e.g. 5.6.7 o'clock)

2. Violently turning the crown

The general crown for the screw type, but this small metal remember not to vigorously rotate.

Crown is through a shank shaft to rotate the internal gears, and the threads on the shank shaft are very fine, if vigorously operated will easily occur in the case of foreign buckle. And this kind of damage is irreparable.

ps. Each time you screw the crown, turn it in the clockwise direction, and then turn it again after encountering resistance,TUDOR Black Bay 39 M79660-0001 do not screw it too tightly.

3. Pressing the chronograph button under water

This situation seems to be less common, but in fact! Every year, watch repair stores will have a lot of watches that are thus waterlogged to be repaired.

Although most watches are now waterproof, but press the chronograph button, the general push button is not water, but but the button may touch the seal, and in the water when touching the waterproof seal will seepage.

ps. No waterproof watch can be protected against hot water. (Let the watch rest when you take a shower.)

4. Magnetization

All electrically charged objects have a magnetic field,TUDOR Glamour Double Date M57103-0005 which can affect the hairspring of a mechanical watch. Therefore, it is better to keep the mechanical watch away from cell phones, household appliances, electric mahjong tables and other electrical appliances that can generate magnetic fields.

Once a mechanical watch is magnetized, it will directly affect the timekeeping. Seriously, it will also stop directly.

You guess what is the number one appliance that makes the most mechanical watches magnetized by strong magnetic field? It is the electric mahjong machine.

Mechanical watches are extremely precise crafts. Even if it is waterproof, anti-magnetic and anti-something when purchased, but as a daily necessity, even the strong protective function can't resist the daily erosion, and daily maintenance is the king! What do you think?
