  As precision timepieces and decorative accessories, mechanical watches must be both practical and decorative. So what do we need to pay attention to when buying a mechanical watch? Today I will share my insights on purchasing mechanical watches for your reference.

  Things to note when buying a mechanical watch

  1. Appearance. Visually inspect the case, dial and hands to ensure there are no pinholes or scratches, the plating is bright with no colour difference, and the case back is tightly screwed down.

  2. Starting performance. Slowly wind the crown while observing the second hand; generally, the fewer turns required to get the second hand moving, the better the starting performance of the watch.

  3. Winding. Winding should feel smooth with no strange noises. Apart from automatic watches which may slip when fully wound, the mainspring of a standard watch should wind fully without slipping.

  4. Hand-setting. Setting the hands should feel comfortable, neither too tight nor too loose. The hour and minute hands should coordinate properly (when the hour hand is aligned with 3, 6, 9, and 12 respectively, the minute hand must not deviate from the 12 mark by more than ±4 minute divisions), and the hour, minute and second hands must not touch one another.

  5. Watch ticking sound. Once the mainspring is fully wound, listen to the ticking sound of the watch; it should be clear and even with no strange noises, and should not change as the orientation changes.

  How to maintain a mechanical watch

  1. It is best to place a desiccant where you store your watch, but avoid using chemical products such as mothballs or insect repellent.

  2. If your watch shows any abnormalities, you should take it to a specialist watch shop for an inspection immediately.

  3. Fully automatic mechanical watches require sufficient movement to function properly, meaning they must be worn for more than 10 hours a day.

  4. No watch should be worn in warm water or the bathroom, even if it is a water-resistant watch, because the rubber sealing gaskets easily age when exposed to heat, and surrounding water vapour molecules are very small, allowing them to easily penetrate the case and damage the internal movement.

  Rolex Submariner mechanical watch 116610LV Green Submariner

购买机械表要注意什么?

  Review:

  ◆ As a representative masterpiece of diving watches, the Rolex Green Submariner is definitely a leader among diving timepieces. If you want a true diving watch, you might want to consider it;

  ◆ The dial size of 40MM is moderate, making it suitable for all wrist sizes. It can be paired with both formal and casual wear. Compared to the black or white of ordinary watches, the emerald green dial of the Rolex Green Submariner is a colour that is relatively difficult for most people to pull off, but it is also a very show-stopping colour, suitable for those who pursue individuality.

  ◆ The price remains consistent with the previous selling price of V6, and it is also equipped with A2836 and SA3135 movements, ensuring accurate timekeeping and bringing everyone a perfect timing experience.
