Issues with metal bracelet clasps on high-imitation watches
Overview: Nowadays, many people love watches. Whether famous luxury brands or high-imitation watches, different groups of people seek them out. Regardless of the watch type, issues can arise with the clasp during wear, especially on metal bracelets. Next, we will discuss the common problems with metal bracelet clasps on high-imitation watches.
Precautions for metal bracelet clasps on high-imitation watches:
Generally speaking, when wearing a watch, people frequently open and close the clasp, which makes it prone to issues over time. Metal bracelet clasps come in various types, such as double-folding, single-folding, push-button lock, and butterfly clasps. Despite these design varieties, problems at the metal joint are inevitable due to the repeated elastic friction during closure. For instance, single-folding Z-shaped folding clasps require pushing with the thumbnail to snap shut under thumb pressure.
During regular daily use, opening and closing the strap clasp should feel smooth and effortless. Please note that moderate force should be used; excessive force can easily damage the mechanism and lead to various issues. For example, the clasp may feel loose after fastening, with reduced clamping force making it prone to popping open, or in severe cases, failing to close entirely. This can affect daily use.
Maintenance methods for metal bracelets on high-imitation watches:
1 Like leather straps, metal bracelets share the same vulnerability to water. Water vapour causes oxidation on metal bracelets, and gold-plated or yellow gold materials are particularly prone to discolouration.
2 If the bracelet requires cleaning, please remove it from the watch head first to prevent water droplets from splashing onto the watch movement and case.
3 If you accidentally scratch a gold metal bracelet, do not panic. You can purchase a professional gold polishing cloth from an after-sales service centre; minor scratches can be successfully restored.
4 If the bracelet gets dirty, clean it with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean water, wipe dry with a soft cloth, and dry gently with a hairdryer. If you prefer a hassle-free method, send it to a professional service center for ultrasonic cleaning.
