How to choose a watch

1. Tips for choosing watches: Origin is very important, quality assurance

In the watch industry, the origin is almost more important than the brand. The best origin is undoubtedly Switzerland. Of course, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan are also very good watch producing areas, but their characteristics are different. For example, Japanese watches once had a glorious history with quartz watches, German watches are more practical, and the problem with domestic mechanical watches is whether they are accurate or not. However, domestic watches are also constantly improving, so let's keep a supportive and optimistic attitude.

2. Tips for choosing a watch: When you can’t decide, focus on the movement.

If you are hesitant about which model to choose, look at the movement. The core component of a watch, the accuracy of the movement depends entirely on the movement, and the quality of the movement may be the most important. If a watch advertises how good its movement is all day long, it is probably still at the level of "accurate running", but no matter how accurate it is, it will never be as accurate as an electronic watch.

3. Tips for choosing watches: Material is also a hard truth and is closely related to wearing and use

The material determines the price. The price of gold-plated watches and diamond-studded watches is naturally much higher. Now many brands of watches also like to use new materials. Hublot is the first Swiss top watch brand to combine precious metals and natural rubber as raw materials.

Watch maintenance rules

1. Do not use your watch (including waterproof watches) in a hot bath, sauna, or in an environment with drastic temperature changes.

2. Do not operate the buttons or adjust the crown of the watch in water.

3. Please clean the watch strap, watch case, etc. regularly. If it is a leather watch strap, avoid contact with water, moisture, cosmetics, and avoid exposure to sunlight.

4. Please pay attention to the anti-magnetic function of the watch and avoid keeping it close to electrical appliances, mobile phones and magnets for a long time.

5. Please do not disassemble the watch under any circumstances.

6. Please avoid the watch from being hit or dropped.

How to oil a watch

1. Spring: To add oil to the spring, fold a piece of copy paper in half and apply some special spring oil to it, so that the surface of the spring is stained with lubricating oil. After winding the spring, if the amount of oil is insufficient, you can drip one or two drops of oil on the top of the spring. Add spring grease.

2. Bar shaft: After the bar shaft is installed into the barrel wheel and the barrel cover is closed, add oil to the friction points between it and the barrel wheel and the friction points between the main plate and the bar plate shaft hole. Add D5 oil.

3. Oiling of the center wheel: Generally, oil is not added to the shaft hole of the splint, but to the shaft tenons at both ends before installation to prevent oil from flowing into the hollow shaft during installation. Before installing the splitter, a small amount of table oil should be added to the groove of the shaft rod. Add 8200 oil.
