Mechanical watches repair the most common situation, nothing more than water and impact. Mechanical unless marked with a waterproof function, or water must be prevented case, because the water can cause mechanical erosion, very destructive. Water is untouchable. Even the state water table, only one year waterproof guarantee, because the water table of the ring after a whole year of wear and tear, with sweat, dust and various external factors inevitably must be tired, so after one year water cycle must be a new one, otherwise do not have the waterproof function.
Waterproof outside, but also to prevent collision. In the financial capability of the range, it may have two or three to replace the table in their daily lives: a static activity to wear a mechanical watch movement is in motion is wearing, so use when the local conditions to help prolong the life of the table. Rely on mechanical gears and clockwork machinery, driven by the operation, turn inevitably create friction, so the course of time necessary for fuel, lubrication, to reduce the wear rate of parts. Otherwise, just wait until the repair go wrong, often the problem is very serious. The best mechanical watches every year back home, check to see whether the case of improper use or water.
Climate hot and humid, sweat, rain coupled with dirty air, accumulated many years of mechanical cause chronic erosion, so the "regular checking of" very important; and then every three years required for a thorough cleaning and maintenance.
Maintenance and repair most insurance, to the orthodox dealers handling safer.
Cleaning must be submitted within the professional chefs, and external cleaning, mechanical master might own hands; with soft scrub brush dip cleaning liquid strap, and finally rinsing with clean water can be. Waterproof case features clear in this way can also be used; not the case with water resistant Do not scrub.
Outside the daily cleaning work is very important, because sweat, dust, etc. may not be aware of even subtle, in fact, still continue to accumulate, not to be cleaned, then strap will rust, rot, or brittle. So best to spare no cleaning masters.
Gold-plated table easier to fade so-called gold-plating is commonly watches watches sold in the market with gold sheet, plating thickness from 3 microns (MICRON) to 20 microns based, MICRON is a thousandth of a millimeter, It is the metal coating and coating thickness measurement units.
In theory, if the thickness of gold-thin, easy to fade, as gold-thick and durable.
So the market some brands use titanium nitride (TIN) coatings (PVD), titanium nitride and gold due to a similar degree of spectral reflectance and good adhesion for the stainless steel cover of. Less likely to fade, while the consumer statement is a good choice.
K gold watches - gold, platinum and gold is 24K, but the gold is too soft and not suitable for the production of watches, the best of the hardness of 18K gold alloy of gold.
Its advantage is durable does not change color, but the oxidation of K gold watch will have some patina, and some people will have gold skin allergies, this time to consider options "pure platinum" (PLATINUM). The benefits of pure platinum watches: the hardness and K gold than gold and more resistant to acid-base of high erosion, but the purchase price than the K gold watch you a lot.
Note the waterproof watch
1. No water, water-resistant features: ultra-thin form, art form, ladies table, jewelry table mostly such, the proposed approach less water vapor, when in a dry collection of non-tidal areas.
2. Watch water resistant devices / 30M: (WATER RESIST) Waterproof ordinary life, usually with anti-pressure way to cover the function of water vapor intrusion, but not to soaking and swimming, because it is only the device water resistant.
3. Waterproof device watches / 100M above: the back cover lock teeth way, can be soaked but not swimming diving.
4. Diving watches / 200M or more: diving all the time and usually after adjustment should be noted that all water must really locking head. Automatic mechanical watches from the wearer the power to generate energy to swing the wrist wound winding, a full article on the sustainable operation of the automatic mechanical watches about 36 hours; such as normal wear every day to ensure the case can be run for 15 hours ; such as the time over and above do not wear or swing low (less movement of the wearer) will cause the watch to stop walking, manual winding method can be used to compensate, it is recommended to sleep the day before! When winding the crown and turn control within twenty laps. New purchases or more than 40 hours have not worn self-winding watch, should be worn again, turn the crown when the twenty laps to re-start the movement of the drive system.
