How to Maintain Your Replica Watch?

　　Watch enthusiasts often ask us how to care for their cherishedreplica watch? If you happen to be one of them, let's take a look at how to maintain a replica watch.

　　Replica watch usage

　　To start a manual-winding watch, simply rotate the crown to wind the mainspring until you feel noticeable resistance. If your replica watch is an automatic watch, you can similarly wind the movement manually by rotating the crown to get the hands moving, and then let the automatic winding system handle the rest. Please note that you should never overwind an automatic watch, as when fully wound, the crown of an automatic watch does not have a distinct stopping point.

　　If you need to change the calendar on the watch, simply pull out the crown and rotate it, advancing the hands past 12 o'clock until the date changes, then turn the hands back three or four hours where you will hear a faint click, and rotate the hands forward past 12 o'clock again until you see the correct date. If you are adjusting the calendar in the afternoon or evening, remember to always advance the hands to the correct afternoon time after changing the date.

　　Replica watch maintenance

　　Mechanical watches require a thorough service every three to five years, which includes cleaning the movement and replacing the lubricating oils. You should have your watch's water resistance tested every year. If your watch has a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 metres), we advise taking it off before showering or swimming. Alternatively, you can choose a NOMOS watch with a water resistance rating of 10 or 20 ATM (100-200 metres), which easily handles water sports such as swimming. Additionally, since hot water compromises the seal of the waterproof gaskets, we do not recommend wearing your watch whilst bathing or showering.

　　Magnetic fields can damage mechanical watches, so it is best to keep them away. If you notice a sudden change in your watch's timekeeping accuracy, it may have been magnetised. However, do not worry; a watchmaker can quickly resolve this issue using a demagnetiser.
