Watches FAQ:How should we do when the watch has a problem


There is often asked, "how do watch dial color? Watches flooded how to do? Spent grinding table mirror watch how to do? Watches not allowed to go how to do? Watch with rusty how to do?" Column problem. today for everyone to answer it.First, the watch dial discolored how do?


   Watch dial relatively common problem of discoloration, the dial color is also called "pan-color", especially in the older watch them more, there are many types of color, a bit like the color, have a sheet-like color.
 The watch dial occurred 30 years ago, the situation seems to be more color, and then it is probably about the production process, the dial base is brass, then plated with gold or silver on the surface and, finally, spray varnish. There may be some residual acidic solvent, the most likely to cause future clockface color.
 In addition to manufacturing reasons, there is also the use of external causes or induced watch dial color.
 1 watch water or long-term moisture, watch case Mifengbuyan, outside water vapor moisture got into the watch, the dial is also very likely to cause discoloration, or dial varnish peeling off, which is characterized by occurrence in the dial edge more.
 (2) long-term collection do not watch, if there tomorrow night pointer, then it depends on tomorrow night choice of material nature, and generally for vintage watches should be extra careful dial discolored parts often happens in the watch, the minute hand of the night out corresponding position.
 3 watches have long been placed or exposed to sunlight, the sun's rays will make everything all kinds of things are slowly change color, fine stuff, too, who can not escape,
 4 Watch exposure to the radiation or radioactive substances, radiation in the medical treatment and certain industrial production will be applied, the most powerful, it can in a very short period of time, so that some things color.
 Tips: spots on the dial and the Pan-color should not use cloth wipe, can not wipe the hard tick hard, otherwise it would affect the appearance of copper disk pan. Dial on the back of the grease used cloth dipped in some gasoline wipe. Clean the dial should be placed on the dial face, avoid mixing with other components, and then cover with a dust cover to protect it.Second, not allowed to go watch how to do?

    1 According to the accuracy of travel time watch watch movement types differ:
 1) mechanical watch movement according to the model and manufacturing quality vary, generally to the list of errors within 30 seconds a day are within the normal range. Some high precision movement, such as the Observatory series can reach 10 seconds or so.
 2) Generally higher precision quartz watch, Swiss standard error of the month in 15 seconds. Some more precise movement of the error can be achieved within a few seconds.
 (2) Common watches travel time error, not allowed to go watch the top five reasons:
 1) Power reserve deficiency: You need to first check the adequacy of power, self-winding mechanical watch if a small amount of exercise can also cause lack of power reserve, manual winding by way of supplementary power, and then observe the continued pace of phenomenon.
 2) lack of electricity: If quartz watch suddenly found go slow, probably due to lack of battery power, you can set the watch to the authorized service point detection power.
 3) had been beaten or hit: watch very closely, have been hit or beaten if may cause damage to internal parts loosening travel time may also cause problems.
 4) needs maintenance: the movement in oil or internal parts can cause wear and tear of aging issues travel time, the need for maintenance, repairs needed to the designated point for maintenance services.
 5) In addition to these common circumstances, some of the environmental temperature, the magnetic watch: If the watch is magnetized gossamer, watches, travel time is also not accurate. Wearer's habits of impact may cause an increase in travel time error. However, you have no need to worry, please send the watch to the designated repair point, please check and adjust the professionals will be able to watch returns to normal error range.Three. Watches there are water vapor, mist how to do?Watch glass bear mist, there are several conditions: (1) watch water, and (2) watch the air humidity is relatively large, (3) watches with outside temperature difference is relatively large.
 In the northern winter, especially wet environment, watches are more prone to this phenomenon. Watch glass bear water mist does not necessarily mean that this depends on the degree, usually divided into several cases, if the watch glass fogging, but in the central part of a small, temporary one would then immediately disappear, this case does not matter, because the air relative humidity are all, also inside the watch, fogging is one of the most common physical phenomena. The reason why the watch glass fogging because fogging glass and external sides of a relatively large temperature difference, the air inside the case of the movement of water molecules to the glass surface, the water molecules will condense to form tiny particles.
 Watch the water, there are also a matter of degree, if only a very small amount of water into or enter a more humid air, when faced with a relatively large difference in temperature environment, the watch glass will bear mist. If the fog condenses into visible water droplets or relatively large area has been covered with glass, when the entire table, it can be concluded that the watch was flooded. In particular watch had prior exposure to water, such as washing hands with a watch or have been exposed to rain, then it happens watch glass fogging phenomenon, this description of the watch must have been flooded.
 Watch glass fogging occurs, it can not completely rely on direct heat baking to solve, to watch the fog will disappear temporarily after heating, in fact, water vapor does not escape outside the case, it will go relatively cool temperature location to go , for example, inside the back cover, or movement within the table. To watch glass fogging final solution of the problem need to open the back cover of the watch, on the movement and case do a thorough drying job; then replace the waterproof gasket or to re-apply silicone gasket.
 If you want to try to solve their own watches fogging phenomenon, your watch can be completely withdrawn in the case of the 9 o'clock position, the watch is heated to about 50 degrees (available incandescent grilled), 2 hours, then after the watch continues to the table to the state completely pulled out, using silica gel (or calcium chloride) desiccant such as parcels, in the box for 24 hours. But only for mild fogging watch the fog has come to be seen if the junction is formed when water droplets form, immediately rushed to the table shop to do the repair.

    Good seal watch, water is not easy, but once into the point of water, and gave the same is not easy to get it out. In doing watches waterproof experiment time, that there is something called "condensation experiment", the industry standard QB / T 1897-1993  watches waterproof watch, the relevant reads as follows: "the watch in a temperature of 40 to 50 the degree of the hot plate until the temperature of the watch at the same temperature and the heating plate, the heating time when the watch type, generally heated for 10 to 20 minutes and then a temperature of 18 to 25 degrees to the table glass, water drops, about After 1 minute, wipe with a cloth sheet glass, sheet glass fogging may occur if the case is under saturated humidity assembly, condensation experimental results may produce a mist, this case is not sealed is not due to fog caused, if this phenomenon should be dried and then re-watch for condensation experiment. "Four quartz watch does not work how to do?

   Watches, otherwise known as the watch is worn on the wrist, for the time / display time of the instrument. Watches usually use leather, like rubber, nylon fabric, stainless steel and other materials, made strap, will display the time of the "header" beams on the wrist. Watch main types: quartz watch, mechanical watches, electronic watches and so on.

    Quartz watch does not work because:

    A quartz watch no output signal, other aspects checks are normal, with a multimeter to check the circuit board without input Seng Credit One, most of the reason is that crystal oscillator is damaged or IC failure caused by the replacement of quartz oscillator is invalid, you need to replace the entire circuit board.

    2 wheel system failures, mostly between the teeth dust, foreign body, so that each wheel train stuck between teeth. There are also some tables are significantly too much or little oil, too much oil film between the wheel, the wheel adhesion between the film and plywood. Fuel rotating wheel system is too small to make too much resistance, these will not go electronic watches good. Stepper motor and gear train encounter these failures should be cleaned to remove foreign material, re-fueling job.

    3 coil circuit, due to oxidation or man-made causes, so that the coil is damaged, you can check it out through the multimeter test, generally need to replace.

    4 quartz watch battery without electricity or insufficient capacity, need to be replaced. Analog quartz electronic watches, but often find that the battery in the short term without electricity, which generally are due to high power consumption is not high quality or cause the battery itself. Encountered such a situation, you should first find out the reason, troubleshooting, and then replace new battery.

    5 bad contact, mostly on the positive and negative contact spring dirt poor contact with the battery. Circuit board signal output point and exit point of contact with the coil head poor contact will occur. These will cause the circuit is not conducting, the quartz electronic watches do not go or go bad, found that due to poor contact caused by the circuit fails, first contact surface adequately cleaned and then re-assembled.

    6 stepper motor can not rotate, the rotor of the stepper motor is a permanent magnet, often due to adsorption and stator iron stuck and can not rotate, causing the quartz watch pointer stop and go or stop-go.


Five, watches flooded how do?

    Generally not waterproof watch diving watch, although it took a sealing measures, to prevent the intrusion of sweat and harmful gases, but not absolutely no water. Meanwhile watch in the course there will be some inevitable phenomenon: Every day on the dial needle, handle head or handle head tube rubber band will gradually wear; watch glass affected by temperature and thermal expansion and contraction, will make it with the table shell frame with the Department voids; cover waterproof apron sweat affected by aging or corrosion occurs, these will cause the water table waterproof performance. Therefore, we can wear normal water table to go swimming, take a bath. Is the laundry, washing dishes, cooking should also be noted that not to splash water on the table or the water vapor into the table, otherwise it would be rusty water table parts, affecting the quality of travel time, or even lose value.Of course, some may ask why I bought another one ordinary watch but they can waterproof it? It's just a coincidence problem. As we all know, the use and operation frequency table varies, rubber band will not wear the same degree of response, not to mention there exist a number of objective factors, such as local weather, work environment, etc. will also affect the water cycle life.

    Tips: Due to various factors, even if the water table also should avoid swimming, bathing, sauna, etc., such as water or a mist after accidentally should be cleaned as soon as possible to the repair point, in order to avoid corrosion movement parts affect the travel time.Six, watches scratches how to do?

    Watch long band on the hand, is actually relatively easy to be scratched, and then people who care can not be avoided, some scratches are minor, but some are more important, especially designated to be sharp things, that there is no shallow scars watch long band on the hand, is actually relatively easy to be scratched, and then people who care can not be avoided, some scratches are minor, but some are more important, especially designated to be sharp things, that there is no shallow scars . Stainless steel case is also a little better, K gold will be more soft, once the surface of the watch case or band is scratched, the first is ugly, and when the beloved watches appear damaged and blemishes, and my heart certainly upset .

 1. As the case surface craft, there are basically two types: polished and pull the sand, or both, grinding scratches on the watch case, but also to do it according to the original process, a large area of ​​hair Road class wear, easier to carry; But if it's hard to scratch deeper, we should trouble, because whether it is polished or pull sand approach, are not enough to rub off like scratches.2. Case or take partial relatively deep scratches need to do first before repair is handled locally, see the location, such as the case of the shell side, there may even spend a small fine rasp, more oil stone , and then under a magnifying glass, carefully put deep scratches boring flat, deep scratches, we should focus first on the local oil stone grinding to do. This needs to be under a magnifying glass, the purpose is to scratch evenly polished, scratch basically be rubbed off when polished, select the appropriate granularity sandpaper, pull sand along the original lines to ground, usually the lines are radially to the center of the dial, so this is a carefully live to be a little bit, grinding out the effect will be good only realistic. Recommend sandpaper jewelry industry with the kind of choice, preferably imported, such as Germany Warriors brand water sandpaper.3. Hand tools also pay attention to the recommended surgical hemostat, just take a small piece of sandpaper, folded after use hemostatic clamp tight, parallel to the original lines do pull sand, sapphire glass is quite hard, you can not consider it, but watch is stainless steel shell, the operation must pay attention, can not draw rubs it, if necessary, it can be covered with tape. Technical aspects, that we must all pull sand lines must go all the time, and they are starting to dial center and radially.4. Watch case and strap above all scratches, in order to get rid of it or to be refurbished cosmetic appearance of the watch, you can use this method with reference to operation. Relatively easy to handle linear shape of the lines, if the lines are concentric circles, and that was kind of electric machinery should be used to do.5. Own use sandpaper to scratch the above case strap trim, not a difficult task, as long as it can make careful steady hand; But for surface polishing process, it must use a cloth wheel polishing machine, ordinary dry can not.

    6. For another pull sand there polishing process of the case and strap, trimming it should first pull sanded, then do the polishing, finishing just need to have a good pull sand to cover the upper part, a simple you can use tape, some of it to do regular metal template, the same used for polishing the cover.

   Note: If the watch needs to be done and polishing process, we recommend that you go to a professional watch repair center for repair and maintenance. You can go to our watch repair site maintenance.Seven, the watch strap rusty how to do?

    Under normal circumstances steel table and will not rust, but everything is relative. Many different types of stainless steel. Human sweat contains hydrochloric acid discharged ingredients table worn on the hand, if the long-term erosion by sweat or dirt build-up without any chemical salt wipe case will gradually appear rust, especially low back pockets prone.
So, usually should pay attention to the maintenance of the watch, always wipe the dust sediments on the case, sweat and so on. In addition, should be avoided in strong acid, alkali and other occasions wearing a watch operation, so it will not appear rusty steel case.
How to maintain the metal strap? If the metal strap stained with sweat while placing no matter, likely to cause rust strap, sweating, the strap may look clean, but still easy to rust seeping metal watchband, or even stained sleeves and so on. Dirty metal bracelet wash with soap. When the dirt is very serious, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub. (Non-waterproof watch carefully to avoid wet form of the table) after cleaning, to avoid moisture remaining in the strap slit with a dry cloth to carefully wipe dry.
Maintenance, do not use polish remover, thinner or agents. And, strengthen waterproof watch with everyday life in the sea after use, do not use chemicals to clean water can be. The watch with clockwork, swapping some easy accumulation of dirt, so that the shaft getting tight, then clean the shaft portion.Watch factory each process should strictly avoid contact with the hand piece and the movement parts. It can not be avoided, every machined parts should be cleaned. The parts should be kept longer use effective corrosion protection.

    The following is the watch rust treatment methods: 1, silica gel dryers, store watch movement, movement parts to avoid rust after damp. 2, anti-rust paper packaging parts. 3,901 anti-rust oil.1. Silicone dryer, according to the size and needs repair units shall be equipped with one or several one thousand desiccator to hold watch movement, to avoid movement parts damp rust. Silicone Dry Communicator divided into large, medium and small three models. In a sealed glass container or in the pores with large pore silica gel composition a small amount of silica gel and a dryer. Because pore silica at 95% -100% relative humidity before or directly into a solution of a large number of absorption; the silica pores even at low relative humidity, has a higher absorption capacity. Such mixed-use storage requirements can be met. Apply a small amount in the dryer interface Vaseline, compress the seal. Open the lid should be minimal, in order to prolong the life of the silicone. Any color silicone red, drying should be recycled or renewals.
 2. Rust-proof paper packaging components, you can use the production of Paper Research Institute of Beijing No. 9 pleiotropic rust-proof paper, suitable for steel, copper parts and steel, copper movement parts grouped components. Rust-proof paper outside waxing (moisture) inside coated VCI agent.
 3.901 rust oil, 901 anti-rust oil produced by Nanjing second petrochemical plants. Use as follows: (a) the part is immersed in a 5% add this product wash oil, respectively, with thick brush wash, fine cleaning of all time (wash oil used industrial gasoline or kerosene lamps preparation. (2) seals in room temperature, dipping, brush dressing, spray deposition can be.

     4 Note: Use silicone drier, due at least start to open the lid, to extend the life of silicone.
Tips: If you can not determine whether the watch waterproof or waterproof extent to understand, we recommend that you go to a professional watch repair center clean appearance of the watch.Eight, waterproof watch is not waterproof how to do?

    Today's watches are waterproof, if the watch is not waterproof, and very easy to cause corrosion of internal movement mechanical watches, electronic quartz watch movement short circuit, causing the watch to malfunction. In addition to watches quality reasons, most of the watch is not waterproof due to wear over time, due to improper use.

    Waterproof watch routine maintenance is essential:(A) waterproof apron easy to aging deterioration, should be changed regularly, every repair or replacement.(2) damage to the surface of the glass must be promptly replaced.(3) Do not place a long time at high temperature Watches (ten 60 ℃) and low temperature (-10 ℃) environment.(4) chemical substances to prevent contact with the watch, otherwise it will affect the case and waterproof apron, reducing water resistance.(5) Watch stained water should always dry.(6) Do not watch in water or wet, the operator watches the crown to prevent water from entering the meter drive.Nine, wear watches allergy how to do?Watch wear produced allergic reactions, skin feels itchy, there are red marks, even from the red rash, do not panic, this and the person's own physique often than not, the quality of the watch itself. Current technology found that titanium-containing material, doing case can be considerable extent, reduce skin irritation.

    Skin itching, rash situation can be divided into the following three categories:

    1, metal, leather allergy: If I am confirmed allergy to a metal or leather, then the corresponding do not wear a watch.

    2, watch the rust, dirt, sweat allergy: If you do not clean the watch long, gently wipe with a wet towel on it.

    3, is too tight, airtight allergy: Loosen the strap, additional ventilation, air permeability.

    Tips: If time does not relieve skin irritation, seek medical attention.Ten, automatic mechanical watch does not work how to do?

    Mechanical automatic watch is the watch by turning the balance wheel on the spring, while the wheel is rotated by the rotation of the swing of the wrist. Therefore, the user must wear a watch every day, and a certain amount of activity of the wrist, the watch can provide enough power. Usually after full winding watch, you can take more than a day; if not the full winding, take off soon stopped.It is possible that wearing a watch arm activity is not enough. I suggest you try the off watch, manually rotate the head 20 times, to see whether it will stop. If you will stop, that is the question of the watch.

    Automatic mechanical watches worn continuously after 12 hours of travel time, the watch in the spring are generally tighten up the. Therefore, when it is removed from the wrist placed together in a quiescent state occurs, the printer should be able to maintain the ability to walk more than 12 hours. But this refers to normal wear conditions, if individual users basically inactive or active low, the tables placed together amounted to less than removing the above criteria. Therefore, encountered such a situation, remove the table when placing the table should swing a few; or with an ordinary watch, a few on hand winding, the automatic mechanical watches place, the same normal walking.
 One in ten p.m. until two o'clock when the transfer between the prohibition.2, be sure to watch after adjustment handle head pushed back in the end.3, in accordance with national standards, mechanical watches (including mechanical automatic watches travel time error should be controlled in 45 seconds or less.

    4, automatic mechanical watch requires the user to the normal every day wear and a proper amount of activity for it to continue on the bar, to keep momentum running. Small amount of activity of the wearer when walking may Pianman, this is a normal phenomenon. Turn the handle first use the first 20-30 times, so that the initial wound spring.
