What to do with a broken watch mirror
There are many situations in life that can cause damage to the watch glass, depending on the degree of damage, there are scratches. Cracks. Broken corners. Completely broken and so on. If there are only scratches, the cracks can still be used, while the corners of the watch chipped or completely broken must replace the watch glass. As the glass is badly damaged, it will cause the watch not to be sealed, affecting the waterproof function. According to the material of the watch glass, the plastic glass of the old-fashioned watch kind will not have an explosion, while the surface glass, especially the sapphire crystal that is now popular, is more likely to explode.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
The material of the exterior mirror of the watch is usually a sapphire glass mirror, which may cause damage to the mirror if it is accidentally dropped into the ground.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
Table unintentionally scratched by the key . Small cracks when temporarily available. For precision watches, the watch waterproof and dustproof performance will decline at this time, and I recommend replacing the watch store as soon as possible. If the surface of the watch mirror on the surface of the abrasion or slight abrasion, you can first in the surface of the watch mirror a drop or two of water, and then squeeze a little bit of toothpaste, and then use a cotton ball before and after the rub, you can remove the scratches, so that the watch mirror is as good as new.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
We can understand these methods.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
And for serious damage, such as blowout, corner chipping and severe damage with debris distributed on the dial, the following measures should be taken immediately:文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
1. The first thing to do is to stop. Stop the watch by pulling down the handle. Unplugging the watch stops the watch from moving and does not allow the hands to scratch on the glass shards that could scratch the calendar dial.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
2. Do not remove broken glass from the watch by dialing the hands, quick-adjusting the mechanism, or trying to do so yourself.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
3. When the watch is sent to the watch store for repair, the watch should be placed flat (preferably with the glass side facing down) in the box, and the watch should not be sent for repair in a way that causes violent vibration and shaking during delivery.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html
4. When repairing, the maintenance personnel should be reminded to pay attention to avoiding the glass shards from damaging the dial and the watch needle.文章源自复刻手表-https://www.bbtwatch.com/en/wbzs/61894-html

What to do if the automatic tourbillon of a mechanical watch does not rotate
A typical automatic watch should be worn for more than 8 hours a day to replenish the energy of the winding, but this is not absolute. It is recommended that the watch should also be worn during vacations, and the watch will not stop only if it is worn on the hand to constantly replenish the energy of the winding. Nowadays, for those who work in the office, the watch often stops. In addition to the cause of the movement, this is due to the fact that the wearer of the watch itself does not have enough movement to replenish the winding with enough energy, and if this is the case, the watch is dialed up by hand to compensate for the stoppage.
We advocate as little as possible to dial the clockwork by hand, because when dialing the clockwork by hand, it is necessary to drive the handle to rotate multiple automatic wheels together, and the automation parts are easy to wear out, so that the user increases unnecessary maintenance costs.
The daily cumulative error range is ±30 seconds/minute, and the average error range certified by the chronometer is from -4 seconds to +6 seconds/day, depending on the movement used in the watch, not on the principle of the higher price. With a mechanical watch, the swing of the wrist generates energy to wind the clockwork, a fully wound automatic mechanical watch can continue to run for about 36 hours: if you can ensure that every day normal wear, with the normal work of about 15 hours, such as wear when not wearing, or can not be swung (wearer movement is less), etc., will lead to the watch can not be used, the watch should be worn after wearing.
Mechanical watches are recommended:
Each day you should try to wind the hands once at the same time to ensure that the watch will function properly for the next 24 hours.
A self-winding watch derives its energy from the movement of the wearer's arm, so it does not need to be wound manually during normal wear, and it is only when the wearer's movement is insufficient to replenish the energy of the winding that the watch can be compensated by hand-winding, and the crown rotation is controlled to be less than twenty revolutions during winding.
For self-winding devices that have not been worn for more than 40 hours, the movement's drive system is restarted by wearing the device for another twenty turns when re-wearing it.
Be sure the crown is locked at all times to prevent water from penetrating the watch case and to protect the water resistance of the watch.
Can a watch clasp be repaired?
The strap is the most important part of the watch, and a broken strap buckle spring means that this watch cannot be taken. This time to go to a professional repair store for repair or do it yourself.
If the strap is in the form of a butterfly clasp, it can be divided into two categories:
1. It looks like a "raw pull" when you open it.
2. There is a clasp that needs to be pinched and pinched with your fingers.
The former will have a section of the buckle for the track shape, closed locking is by elastic fit, but in a long time of use, due to wear and tear or deformation, resulting in a reduction of interference fit or positional offset, the strap buckle spring is broken, resulting in the strap buckle spring is broken, can not be closed and locked, and there is a point that a little bit of force strap can be opened.
There are two reasons why butterfly buttons on buttons tend to open:
1. Pressure buttons are too long and protruding.
2. The other is its internal softening spring.
In general, when wearing a watch, if the watch itself is larger in diameter . And the strap is heavier, while the strap is looser at the same time, the watch is easy to fall to the front of the wrist, once the palm is bent inward, it will be squeezed on the strap buckle. Therefore, you have to watch carefully, where a band if only unidirectional (single time), it must be arranged on the left side of the strap.
The most fundamental problem is that the strap buckle spring elasticity is poor, the spring is too soft, the strap buckle spring bad, so the repair should focus on pulling the spring, can also be used to replace the same specifications of the spring, but the elasticity of the spring is greater, usually, the spring and the strap's "raw ear" in the spring is exactly the same.
The watch chain is an important part of the watch.
The bracelet watch is an important part of the watch, and the strap determines the comfort and convenience of wearing the watch, and is closely related to the safety of the watch. Nowadays there are many materials for watch bands, the most common are stainless steel and genuine leather. What should I do if my watch band buckle spring is broken? The original strap loop buckle (short side) is always to be placed on top of the watch. The band differs from a human band in that there are rules for the direction of installation.
During this time, when you spread out the watch, the letters or logos on the strap should be in line, if they are upside down, then the strap has been put on backwards. You can use your thumb to open the clasp, the butterfly clasp just need to see the logo and dial is one smooth. Opening and closing must not be smooth. If it is a folded strap, there are many holes on the side to adjust the length of the strap. When indenting the strap, also pay attention to the buckle adjustment section, which strap closes the direction when it should not be indented. This kind of buckle will form a leverage force, so that the strap is very easy to open, but also easy to lose the watch.
How to deal with a mechanical watch that doesn't move its hairspring
The guide is part of the structure of the watch, mainly affecting the accuracy of the watch, it has elasticity, it is an extremely delicate element in the watch, used to control the balance wheel to do isochronous reciprocating movement. So what if a mechanical watch malfunctions?
Machine watch hairspring common fault repair.
1. The hairspring forms an obvious bowl shape: one reason is that the outer pile is installed on the high side, which can be reinstalled so that the outer end and the hairspring are on a plane. The hairspring is deformed by external forces, such as when the balance wheel is removed, the balance wheel is obstructed and the hairspring is bowl-shaped. The hairspring can be removed from the pendulum shaft, the inner pile set on a conical circular needle, pliers clamped near the outer pile at the hairspring, towards the deformation of the opposite side of the pull, but the action should not be too large, a time not two, not to be deformed in the opposite direction again.
2. The external end of the hairspring is skewed, resulting in the hairspring is not correct: mainly due to the external end of the hairspring and the outer pile of the fit is not coordinated, did not form a vertical angle. Adopt the clamping method to clamp the outer end of the fit, adjust the right angle between the plane of the wire and the outer pile.
3. Eccentricity of the hairspring: one is the starting point of the inner end of the hairspring, mainly affected by the starting point of the hairspring, by pushing and pulling the curved parts to adjust the eccentricity. Eccentricity of the outer end of the hairspring is mainly the outer end of the curve is unchanged in the case of posting the inner or outer clamp, you can use pointed tweezers pliers to the two curves on the hairspring placed in the middle of the inner and outer clamp.
4. Swimmer: from inside to outside, find a start uneven place, with pointed tweezers clamp, with pointed tweezers clamp, with pointed needles dial the wrong place to adjust, so that it is even.
5. Outer curve deformation: cause the second frame to collide with the fast needle clamp in the process of elongation, affecting the quality of timekeeping. So the hairspring 1/3 frame (about 120 °) must have the correct shape of the curve that is the hairspring curve and the inner and outer clamping curve is completely consistent with the outer end of the curve and the second frame at reasonable intervals, usually for the hairspring of the normal distance between the frame of 2 ~ 2.5 times, to ensure that the second frame in the process of extension will not be with the inner and outer clips collision, such as too large, too small, the center of the inconsistency.
What you need to do your job.
1. The hairspring should be straight: the hairspring plane should be perpendicular to the inner and outer piles, and the entire hairspring must be on one side and parallel to the balance plane.
2. The hairspring should be round: when the watch is at rest, the watch should be equal in every turn of the frame distance except the end 1/3.
3. Hairspring rocking frame: when the watch is stationary, the end 1/3 of the hairspring should be in the middle of the fast and slow needle inside and outside the folder, the balance wheel in the swing, the hairspring can be alternately affixed to the inner folder outside the folder.
4. The hairspring must not be eccentric: the balance wheel of the watch oscillates when the hairspring will make each circle frame distance change at the same time, and the distance should be equal.
