Watch Maintenance and Don'ts: What You Should Know

  Watches are treasured possessions for watch enthusiasts, especially luxury timepieces, which can truly be described as the apple of one's eye. However, watches are relatively delicate mechanical instruments, so attention must be paid to maintenance during daily wear, as minor knocks and bumps are inevitable in everyday life and can cause a certain degree of damage to your beloved timepiece. Therefore, belowwatch websiteswe will guide you on how to properly maintain your watch.

　　Magnetisation

　　Both mechanical and quartz watches are vulnerable to magnetisation and are easily disturbed by magnetic fields. To determine whether a watch has been magnetised, take a compass and bring it close to the watch; if the compass needle deflects, the watch is magnetised. Magnetisation affects the accuracy of the watch, but this can be resolved through demagnetisation. You can take it to a customer service centre or repair shop to be demagnetised using a demagnetiser. If you do not have the time to go, you can also do it yourself: find an unmagnetised iron block with a circular hole in the middle, stand it vertically on a table, and slowly pass the watch back and forth through the hole; the magnetism in the watch will be absorbed by the iron block. Alternatively, you can place the watch on a clean, unmagnetised iron plate, and after two days, the magnetism of the watch will gradually disappear.

　　防水

　　手表也分防水和不防水两种。而防水手表里又有30米、50米、100米等等。但是这都是有前提的，温度保持在20至25摄氏度。受到较大温度变化的情况下，都会影响手表的使用寿命和防水功能。如果一不小心手表进水了该如何处理呢?手表网告诉您，如果手表受潮了，可用干棉花压在手表商，然后用40瓦的灯泡烘烤5分钟，这样里面的潮气就能被蒸发出来。千万不要将表蒙靠近火直接烘烤，这会使得表蒙受热变形。

　　Wear and Tear

　　During daily wear, bumps and scrapes are unavoidable. Even withRolexluxury watches of this kind, careless individuals may still end up damaging them, resulting in scratches, cracks, or breakage. For minor scratches and scuffs, you can place a drop or two of clean water on the crystal, squeeze on a little toothpaste, and buff it out to remove the marks and make the watch look brand new. In cases of severe cracking or damage, however, the watch should be promptly sent to a watch repair shop.
