What is a watch?

collectible watches, also called imitation watches or collectible watches, are made as prototypes of genuine watches, but the materials and processes used are different, and the watches produced are similar in appearance to the genuine ones, but usually not as good as the genuine ones in terms of quality and performance.

How to take care of a watch?

  1. Avoid bumping: watch case and bracelet are susceptible to scratches and damage, so avoid bumping.
  2. Avoid contact with water and chemicals: collectible watches are usually not waterproof and contact with water and chemicals is strictly prohibited.
  3. Regular cleaning: You can remove dust and stains by wiping the case with a clean, soft cloth, but do not use cleaning agents.
  4. Regular maintenance: collectible watches need to be maintained after a period of time, such as replacing the battery, adjusting the watch movement, maintaining the movement and so on.
  5. Storage precautions: when not wearing the collectible watches, they should be put into a special watch box or bag, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature.

How to recognize a watch?

  1. Appearance: collectible watches usually have a high degree of similarity in appearance to the genuine ones, but the workmanship is rough, the parts are not fine, and the color and gloss are poor.
  2. Movement: collectible watches usually use simpler, rougher movements that are not as fine and durable as the genuine ones.
  3. No.: Genuine watches usually have a unique code, which can be checked for authenticity at the relevant official website, while collectible watches usually have no code or the code does not match the official query.

How to recognize a genuine watch?

  2. MOVEMENT: Genuine watches use fine, high-quality movements that are stable and durable.
