Do not cost a lot, regular maintenance of mechanical watches, the Code


On behalf of taste or "pass on" the value of mechanical watches, probably because there is no wear and New Year holiday in a quiescent state, or maintenance must be carried out after the holiday travel, watches, general manager of Sims should Gongli Yan suggested that long-lost wearing the watch To re-adjust the time and mode of operation must pay special attention to avoid gear latch failure, internal parts can not function, if properly maintained, it takes large sums of money to watch the status of maintenance can be reduced to a minimum cost.

    Mechanical principles of adjustment time

    Long standing, the natural relaxation of the winding mechanical watch to watch still, at this time, to re-wear, we must first re-tighten the spring, after the calibration time, should be general manager, said the general mechanical In the spring, when most loose, there will be hour, minute, slow down or faster phenomenon, we should first tighten the spring, so the calibration time, there is no standard power-driven pointer, even self-winding watches, but also should use manual winding to eight full, then the time calibration.

    Mechanical self-cleaning, maintenance principles: (1) a soft cloth with soapy water to clean (2) a soft cloth with clean water (3) dry with a soft cloth (4), dried (5) taboo not just send ultrasonic cleaning

    New Year holiday after the maintenance period, should be general manager suggested that those who engaged in water sports watches, we need to do "maintenance", especially after a sea salt soak, swimming pool water filtration chemicals, are likely to cause the table waterproof gasket erosion, sclerosis; some maintenance can be done yourself at home, simple with a soft cloth with a small amount of soapy water to clean metal and waterproof rubber strap, and eventually wipe off with a damp cloth remove traces of soap and water after dried, it can reached a preliminary maintenance performance, while the table do not have ultrasound equipment directly to the place to do cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning watched because of strong and weak different frequencies, an ultrasound but uses wrong frequency, it is easy to cause internal loose parts.

    Watches incorporate principles: (1) inspection and maintenance period (2) Check whether the table, remove the batteries quartz

    New Year after a long period of use or incorporation of a long watch, watch must pay special attention to the maintenance period, the general maintenance of mechanical watches for about 3 to 4 years duration, once over this period, easy to dry lube inside the case stains, external waterproof gasket is easy to harden, reluctant to use failure-prone mechanical parts with water and oil stains lead to dry parts wear, not to affect the initial operation, only to see less and less time accuracy, Over time, when to stop running, the loss of the internal parts have been very serious to the point where, "meager," the maintenance costs will become "large" parts of the maintenance expenses.

    In addition to mechanical repairs and maintenance to avoid problems, the quartz watch in addition to the internal parts lubricated with water-driven problems, do not wear in the long term situation, if the battery has been used for a long period of time, it is best not to put the table shell for long-term admission, to avoid battery failure, not only can not supply problems, and may even be battery fluid leakage problems internal parts must be replaced.

    Complicated mechanical watches use speed dial button precautions: (1) query instructions (2) time to adjust to five to seven o'clock only use fast dial button

    Lack of time precision, the complex mechanical properties of adjustment, some way must be followed, general manager should be stressed that each performance of a complex mechanical watches are sold with instructions, even if the watch movement is shared will be modified because the watch factory, the emergence of different parts configuration, the operation must pay special attention to the order, therefore, in relation to reading instructions is a top priority. If it is really the trouble, you need to pay special attention to the correct use of quick dial buttons, when activated speed dial performance, the clock must be adjusted to the correct position, it will not cause performance parts have cards into the correct position, but was forced beating speed dial button to turn lead to parts failure problems.

    Mr. proposed to be, fast dial button in the operation in addition to instructions, the overwhelming majority of the table should try to avoid eight p.m. to 4:00 time, but also the most troubled consumer is free to adjust because time almost all night; At this point, you can take contingency approach is to clock back five to seven o'clock position, ready to watch the action gear stuck next release, this time faster then dial adjustment will not be a problem, but some brands of watches gear set in the afternoon to perform the conversion action, if that was no problem at noon and directly adjust the speed dial button can lead to abnormal parts, so the clock on the five-point to the most suitable location between the seven most watches.

    Mechanical maintenance tips: where to buy in the back where

    If there needs to be returned watches the store's problem, Mr. recommendations, in which Maijiu back to where, if you really find that quite right, can also be directly returned to agents, please agent identification, treatment, as like to buy overseas consumers, we must seriously consider finding a reputable store to watch the issue of treatment, occurred in the past had the status of the internal parts are not original, it is generally non-professional consumers can watch identification, in order to avoid controversy or to original place of purchase and agents as the main targets of consultation.

Dragon leap Athens Classico watch dragon enamel color fill


Dragon legends and mythical creatures in close contact with people, will be given guidance and protection. Athens, on the table this year as the creative theme to Dragon leap, presenting new Classico watch dragon enamel color fill.
Workmanship is exquisite dragon dial Athens table over the years the long-lost art of enamel to contribute to the results, this Art Deco master craftsmen need the full investment. As the process of making complex and time-consuming, since the 1950s, enamel watch almost forgotten, and now only watch as the Athens table top manufacturers will be able to produce enamel dial.

Each dial is a unique creation, by skilled craftsmen using different metal oxides extract made
​​from a variety of colors, the essence of the art of enamel artisans need to rely on individual sensitivity and daily practice. Enamel process and represents a unique enamel dial with a time-tested art, and also has more than one hundred years of history to pay tribute to the process.

Athens Classico watch dragon distributed enamel color fill the general spirit of fire, dragon bright orange and yellow fill, such as fill color from the prepared enamel dial leap out. Background selection Classico unique blue dial, representing the distinctive brand features of Athens (Athens, usually called blue). Dragon twisting its strong body, interspersed in the time scale between the billowing from the exhaust flame Longkou, sparkling in the evening.

This limited production 88 gold watch, watch diameter of 40 mm, Case 18K white gold with 18K rose gold and materials. Sapphire crystal case back showing the inside of the UN -815 self-winding movement. Watch with 42 hours power reserve, won the Swiss COSC certified. The detachment watches are hand-sewn alligator strap with 18K white gold or red with gold clasp, giving its wearer brave and sophisticated image.

A cold 40 degrees below zero capability Pol Watch

Resistant to extreme temperatures required clocks are usually military form, in particular, do watch for aerospace applications, military aircraft in the unit in the early years of aviation bell, it's all mechanical, and its interior still has a heating device, heating element by a group of dedicated 27V power supply, it is like now "electric bed."

    
Purpose is to prevent heating of the table clocks at very low temperatures freezing the oil, which makes watches gear (balance wheel and escapement) have a "axle" phenomenon, resulting in travel time, or are not allowed to stop and go; this car, as in cold winter climate, the morning cars are often not easily mobilized, the reasons are many and oil become thick and solidified on.

    
Extreme cold temperatures at high latitudes or polar regions could meet, have information on, say the history of the Antarctic has the lowest recorded temperature is minus 80 degrees, and Russia's Siberian winter minimum temperature to minus 60 degrees can be. In Northeast China, the winter temperatures of minus 40 degrees should also be there, in such a low temperature environment, human existence and activities should be greatly limited.

    
Swiss Ball BALL watches specially love to challenge the limits, this form is characterized by preference to engage in and the temperature, magnetic field, luminous, deep diving-related, such as: super water-magnetic, super-light night out, etc., do watch all of them have really big , very heavy, not an ordinary pressure wrist strap steel basic weight of 200 grams or more, like a lump of iron, the style was professional and masculine, very suitable for when the table or outdoor adventure with the military. Interestingly, Pol watch favorite motto says, called "The depth you want to ...", definitely a sense of crisis, the absolute danger, in fact, extreme low temperature is not so easy to hit, at least in the room and the watch strap on your wrist, it will not happen.

    We should do a super-magnetic watch also easy to handle, with soft iron movement up and down and all around to wrap up on the line; want to do super-shock watches are easy to handle, you can use rubber mats to pad up the movement, card Western Europe G-SHOCK watch is so engaged; want to do super-waterproof watch is also easy to handle, the table to make the lock, and do not have helium valve.
We should do a super cold-resistant watch how to do? Boer does have a watch, the ability of minus 40 degrees temperature, it's the back cover has an identity, -40 ENDURANCE, in fact, the key lies in low temperature table watch oil, Boer watch of choice is a special table oil .

    Gas, liquid, solid is the material existence of three forms; things have liquid condensation point, oil is the same. I looked a bit different watch list of technical indicators oil, used in a temperature range, the most suitable for low temperature applications alone will only hair Sri Lanka 9030, ranges from -41 -60 , I believe this wave Seoul is a watch that oil.

    I open the table carefully observed, did not find it more surprising that the Department, but there is the fact that in all drilling and (axis eye), the oil added are very small, especially in the escapement and The eye position on the balance wheel. Through the microscope, balance wheel shock eye covers, table oil, cover the eye diameter, the diameter is only about 1 / 5, while the requirement is usually 1 / 3 to 1 / 2, to minimize the fuel, is also estimated that its assembly on the a technical requirement.

    It should also increase the spread of oil handled, or else add a small amount of oil it is easy dispersed, high temperature evaporation is positive; Therefore, "no two sweet cane," and could not care a low temperature to high temperature, the watch is indeed a area, said it earlier I heard that, said Santos (SANDUZ) "Southern Table", say this estimate and its balance spring materials and oil are related table. There is also a form of lubrication, that is, solid lubrication, usually only in the spring, auto parts, but also useful in the escapement fork tiles, called "molybdenum disulfide", this high-lubricity, low temperature performance is likely to better. Where the balance wheel escapement and momentum transfer belongs to watch the last class, torque has become very low, as table oil if condensation occurs at low temperatures, may cause the watch must have stopped walking.

    Quartz watches have the same problems, it is conspicuous gear shaft to refuel, and in harsh temperature environments, the watch battery will have a serious impact.

Discount genuine Rolex watch strap logo on the difference between

 New version of the Rolex watch models in front of more of a 1, for example: like the original 16233 model, into a 116 233 Other styles models and so on. Structure has changed the appearance of the watch, the main change is that strap, strap in the middle of 18K gold legacy were hollow part of the new version instead of a solid, strap model with 63203 in the majority, the number two will play in the strap one end of the first, the need to be demolished under the strap can be seen.
    Old Rolex watch strap discount to do the most good, is to use a stainless steel stamping out, many middle and low watches that look like also, in the past I often looked after, are tempted to think, and it is "urgent." Fortunately, it finally "lost the." 16233 model corresponds to the strap model is 62523H; discount new rolex watch strap on a similar "butterfly buckle", and very thick, turn off and more reliable, there is a prominent place on the crown, very beautiful.
    Rolex watches are immediately each time reshaping were quickly imitated by fraud, including the aperture in the glass case within the play production number, just leave the table to do a lot of poor craftsmanship, or even very poor, so simply by could not compare
116 233 model is probably the largest, most typical Rolex watches, fake Rolex that, on the identification bracelet discount, including the numbers and letters, are basically using laser technology to break out, rather than stamping, very shallow is also vague. If amplification of a closer look, genuine and fake Rolex watches in this position are apparently different.

    Real Rolex watches, between the letters in the following four points, very small not fake, and strap model number is either "D"-shaped, or is raised, "Yang Man"-like.
    False multi-level cottage table, such as Swiss Rolex watches, a high level of processing, simply leave the table to draw up, at best can only make a rough outline.

Nail polish on the use of the repair table

Heard that saying before, called "Let's incomplete, and a mud", is estimated from the mason to do this line of jargon, repair the table will be used in industry are often similar to the "mud" thing, that is " nail polish, "it has stuck and blocking effect, and sometimes use it to plug the loopholes, the effect is even better than any glue, special decoration that is commonly used is similar to" glass glue. "
    Most people should not take over is not waterproof, do not watch dust, not dust-proof watch case closed without any measures, especially the position in the table, there will be holes and large cracks, case and cover are is the use of press pressure nested. Probably in the last century, 50 to 60 years, or earlier have this watch, but mostly to the female form. Estimated time of high society ladies, gentlemen basically do not labor, pampered, are fastidious about hygiene that is certain; in fact, do not watch very easy to get into dust-dust, foreign body into the tiny, got into the dial, the glass in the and even movement in life and then people can not avoid a clean, remove dust and then will be going into the net, it is very trouble.

    Before I have seen a more "supernatural" things, there is a waterproof Swiss watches, the watch actually go into a special fine inner fiber is also bent, like sweaters above, stay dial edge, about 3 mm long, seems like a magic force to be sucked, and speculation is perhaps the force of static electricity.

    Do not watch dust sealing rubber ring can not be arbitrarily increased, it does not place the apron that position, in order to increase the number of seal point, then you can "nail polish" come in handy. As shown in the photo only Longines watches, the original case did not seal, so as long as two weeks to bring the dial on the top covered with fine dust, very ugly, gray into the location is in the case of the former circle, you can use the "nail polish" to spread it evenly with the Department, and then re-laminated, extrusion, if there is excess capacity with a soft cloth dipped in alcohol wipe; way through such a seal, the watch has been to no longer wear dust, indicating that appropriate measures effective.
Some "nail polish" very cheap, I always bought the store from the street of the binary, and those owners usually have to use a recording horn, looping constantly yell, "Hey, take a look around, take a look at ah; You passing through, do not miss. " What color is the "nail polish" has, I bought red paint used to watch the pointer, I had also used to make white sticky pointer over the watch tomorrow night.
    In addition, the "nail polish" can also be used as a glue, shellac in watches used to replace bonding kava, both scattered and sticky, dry relatively slowly, with resistance or with, 502 glue does not have these advantages. Omega red as the back cover seals, commonly known as "Shougong Sha", you can also use it to repair. It seems that people sometimes need a little bit tired really tired of that gooey stuff, like "leaking" loopholes such as "incurable diseases" must be it.

A transformation of an instance of cross-wheel cover repair

Said repair is to restore the factory state, in fact, sometimes also need to repair the transformation, that the purpose is to correct the factory on the existing design and manufacturing defects.
Recently repaired a special old watches, where the old mechanical things, wear is evident, I found this round table movement across the inside cover has a clear position on the friction traces. Is a cross-wheel drive wheels, it is also a speed round, round and points it makes when the wheel speed ratio becomes 1:12, the time adjustment in the allocation of the needle, is it the rotating table to rotate into the hands of .

    Move the watch is running, cross-wheel speed is very low, about every 3 to 4 hours to turn around; of dial needles only, it will become the driving wheel, and if the flexibility of a small center wheel with relatively large, So when the dial needle will feel very tight, then wear across the wheel will be prominent, including the gear tooth profile of the mating surface wear, wheel wear and tear across the main plywood, as well as inter-and cross-wheel friction between the wheel cover . In the watch, you will often hear the Azeri sector, said axial gap and radial clearance in these two words, any activity inside the watch movement parts are the two gaps, but very small and strictly controlled.
    The gap must be reasonable, but it is not large, such as cross wheel wheels, drive the process once to eat fresh, it will also have tilt, it will be rubbing across the wheel cover; often cross the main plywood wheel position, will make a ring bulge, this goal is also to reduce friction (see photo).

    In other types of watch movement, the wheel well of the cross-piece circular motion play a small round hole, the contact area is reduced, and the pile made of cylindrical cross-corundum wheel (manual drill), such as early The ENICAR watches, this watch the dial on the back made a logo, euphemistically called "DiamondMax STAR JEWELS". All of these designs are intended to reduce friction and wear this location. Watch their precision, so fine adjustment and correction in between, where necessary to reduce friction reduction across the wheel cover that need to punch out a bump, changing face contact to point contact. Way is to use a small sharp punch, just to have a little bit out on a high line.

    Must ensure that the gap problem, this result did not allow a reasonable gap across the wheel, and then paste in the amount of fat increases the friction point, things had settled. In all things, there is a trick I very much agree that turned small victories, to have disposed of every reasonable perfect, watch repair to worry that bad?
    Wanted to do good service to watch this line, you should first be a "thinker" himself as a craftsman would be low, watch repair should be the first based on the theory, then the experience for the more old watches, we might do "transformation" can do "reform" that are the master!

Through the bottom of the watch has any good

We found no, now watch popular through the bottom cover. Only one table over the last watch glass, when made through the bottom of the watch after it becomes a glass table top to bottom with two, and no doubt do the watch through the end of the purpose is to allow us to watch the watch movement.
    Why only through the end of mechanical watches have it? (I've seen manual SEIKO kinetic energy of the quartz watch had through the end) are outstanding because only the core machinery are more craft-oriented, enjoy higher value. Do you watch carefully observed the internal? Watch is the most sophisticated mechanical devices slight, watch movements, there are many meshing drive gears, levers shapes, spring, fine polished plywood and screws, as well as the rapid rotation of the balance spring, shaking non-stop automatic Tuo ... ... them together, complement each other's meticulous, it is really a bizarre magical mechanical world! Is the ultimate human precision machining and the peak is very amazing watchmaker wisdom and superhuman production capacity. In a few centuries, through the efforts of generations of craftsmen, it created a modern achievements and brilliant watch.

    Where the fine subtleties of things, it should display posters. Watch movement manufacturing principles and the structure is very engaging, fine grinding of parts is also very beautiful, but can also look into the depths to watch the action during each operation, which is the mechanical watch charm. Through the end of the watch on the movement of the surface modification of high demands, such as automatic Tuo, cock, usually with strip pattern, pearl pattern, arc pattern to modify. Screws and steel parts can be carefully polished at the same time, but also makes the movement of the table number and some unique emblem engraved in the prominent movement. Therefore, through the end of the watch movement to be more attention, so through the end of the year is not more expensive.
    Through the end of the watch movement and even the internal surface (including: movement identification number, shock, etc.) can see at a glance, thus less likely to be made off the table. It's travel time status (for example: balance wheel amplitude, automatic Tuo rotation) can also be easily observed, this is a good thing.
    Through the end of the watch glass sapphire glass, basically, from contact with the skin of a person's wrist to consider, but also greatly reduce the leakage of nickel metal in stainless steel, thereby reducing the possibility of human allergic skin effect, more green and healthy. The only disadvantage is that through the end of the watch to be more a waterproof seal, watch sealing more difficult to do more.

    In fact, through the end of the watch is not unique to watch now, as early as 100 years ago, appeared in some of the watch on. This watch does not normally cover the sub-cover, but is loaded onto the glass, therefore, open the back cover pocket watch, you can see form the core. Are generally the "big eight" pocket watch, the movement of the "clouds board" of the plywood are free to watch, also called "open form" (that is, open the meaning of the movement). Now watch collectors circles call the it the "normal form", in fact, it is an error is called false misinformation.
