Wipe the inside of the caseback and the surface of the caseback clean in order to check for damage, indentations, cracks, etc. If there is dirt or limescale on the back of the watch, it is necessary to gently wipe it off with a cleaning cloth.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/107456-html
Step 4: Check the O-Ring文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/107456-html
The sealing part between the back cover of the watch and the case is the O-ring, so pay attention to check whether the O-ring is aged, stretched, deformed or cracked. If the O-ring is found to be damaged, it needs to be replaced in time to ensure the waterproof performance of the watch.
Step 5: Check the gasket
Some watches are sealed by gaskets, so it is important to check the gaskets for deterioration, brittleness or damage. If a gasket is found to be defective, it should be replaced promptly to ensure the water resistance of the watch.
Step 6: Clean and Apply Quartz Sealant
The reliable sealing performance of a quartz watch, in addition to O-rings and sealing gaskets, needs to be checked to see if a quartz sealant has been applied between the back cover of the watch and the case. This sealant enhances the water resistance of the watch. If you find that the applied quartz sealant has dried up, you need to clean it and reapply it.
Step 7: Attach the watch back
After cleaning the O-ring or sealing gasket and sealant on the back cover of the watch, slowly install the back cover of the watch onto the case and gently rotate it by hand operation to confirm that the installation position of the sealing parts is accurate and to prevent partial abrasion or scratches.
Step 8: Test for water resistance
After installing the watch back cover, test the water resistance of the watch. This can be done by placing the watch in water or using a specialized watch waterproofing test instrument, and the results should match the waterproof depth rating of the watch.
The above is a detailed description of the steps for checking the sealing of the back cover of a watch. Regularly carrying out the watch back cover seal inspection can ensure the waterproof performance of the watch, prolong the service life of the watch, and provide strong support for the maintenance and care of the watch.
