Essential Daily Care Tips for Maintaining collectible watches

watchesDaily Maintenance Guide

Watches are one of the essential accessories for gentlemen's daily social occasions. When choosing a watch, whether it is genuine or, the expensive price naturally requires more careful maintenance. Here are some practical tips on how to maintain collectible watches.

1. Regular maintenance treatment

Each watch has its own set maintenance intervals, which vary by brand and movement model, with some watches requiring at least one basic maintenance visit in roughly three years. This maintenance operation is important to increase the durability of the precision parts and thus extend the life of the watch. If the maintenance operation is not performed for a long period of time, it may accumulate dust and other oil stains after cleaning, resulting in the inaccuracy of the hour hand, or even the watch operation stopping. So don't wait until the watch has a big problem to perform maintenance.

2. Addressing the nature of understanding water

The waterproof performance of collectible watches needs constant attention. The waterproof performance can't remain unchanged forever, and after years of use, it will gradually decrease, or even no longer function as waterproof, so once you get involved in water, please deal with it in a timely manner. If you need to go to the beach or carry out some other activities involving water environment, please remove the watch. Also, if the watch is no longer water resistant, you can no longer do breaststroke or other underwater sports.

3. Avoidance of impact and abrasion

The most vulnerable part of a watch is the dial, which is not only susceptible to scratches, but can also be damaged by receiving minor external impacts over a long period of time. For self-protection, do not leave your watch unattended, as well as do not place your watch in high-temperature and highly-reflective areas. Avoiding contact between the watch and hard objects will increase the service life of the watch.

4. Appropriate wearing adjustments

Watches higher than three years need to be calibrated once, perhaps a few seconds backward or forward every day before, or on the slow side of fast. But no matter how the watch is adjusted, it needs to be sent back to a professional watch repair store, or it will only add to your troubles. During normal use, if the watch band is too tight or too loose, it will also affect the display of the watch, so please adjust the band appropriately to achieve the best wearing effect.

5. Organize well and treat well

If you do not wear your watch regularly, it is recommended that you store it in a place that is dust-proof, moisture-proof and cool, and it is recommended that you keep it in an organizer or provide a watch case to protect it from rain or other hindrances. Once you find a problem with your watch, if you can't fix it yourself, you'd better follow the corresponding maintenance requirements of the watch maintenance guide and send it to a professional WATCHES repair organization for overhaul in time. Therefore, do not easily subject your watch to any shock or collision in normal times.

Taking care of collectible watches requires care and attention. Following these operating instructions can help everyone better protect their precious watches.
