Master, my watch was fine yesterday, and today is suddenly slow! Such anxious voices are heard every day in front of the maintenance table. In fact, the watch, like a person, has “symptomatics” prior to illness. Today's dry product, which teaches you to be a “watch family doctor” and quickly judge the level of failure, saves money and prevents minor diseases from being overhauled。
Symptom 1: stop by the watch -- let's see if you're hungry or sick
Scenario a: the mechanical watch suddenly stopped。
Don't take the cover off, ask yourself: how long was it on today? If the office sits for one day, the arm is not active enough, it is likely to be “low power”. Automechanical watches are chained by swinging, and a lack of exercise makes them “hunger”. At this point, it is only necessary to supplement the chain manually (20-30 laps of rotating crowns) and to listen in the ear, which means that if you hear the sound of a sharp and powerful “single” it is alive again。
Case b: the stone watch suddenly stopped。
The stone watch stopped and 90 per cent was due to battery depletion. But there's a question about changing batteries: if new batteries are replaced and stopped in a few months, it's probably not just a matter of batteries, but of oil mud inside the core or electricity leaks on circuit boards, which leads to overwork. This situation, if repeated battery changes are not a solution, requires the cleaning and maintenance of circuits or mechanical parts。
In particular, if your watch is still under warranty, don't break the back cover yourself! If you leave a scratch, the merchant will probably refuse to do so。
Symptom 2: was there a big error in walking — was it magnetic or did it require major maintenance
Symptoms: a mechanical watch suddenly takes several minutes a day, even more than an hour。
If this “flying rate” occurs, it can essentially be diagnosed as “magnetic”. In daily life today, the magnetic field is everywhere — the motors of the mahjongg, the buttons, the loudspeakers of the mobile phone — may be the culprit. When you're magnetically attached, the silk is attached, the effective length becomes shorter, and the watch runs. It's a simple solution. It'll be done with a pro-magnetic outlet。
Symptoms: the watch is moving slowly or slowly。
This situation is more complex. If a few seconds of steady daily slowness were to occur, it might have required routine maintenance and the drying up of lubricating oil would have increased resistance. But if there's a "snatching" (shudding for a few seconds) or if it's extremely unstable to walk, it's a matter of vigilance. It may be the internal cormorage of the core, or the transformation of the rotor axis。
Symptom 3: fog in the watch -- don't burn it, it's right
There was a mist in the surface of the watch, indicating water entering the surface. It is extremely dangerous for many people to listen to the side to bake with a lighter or to blow with a wind blower. High temperatures can damage the paint and the nightlight coating of the table board。
Correct first aid step:
Physical drainage: remove the crown (heads) immediately and place it in the cooler ventilator so that the water vapour can volatilize. Drying agent method: if water is not so hot, the watch and several packs of food drying agents (silica glue) can be placed in a sealed bag for one night in silence, using the drying agent to absorb the tide. If residual: indicates that the water-resistant ducts have become obsolete, they must be replaced and tested for waterproofing. Symptom 4: appearance wear and odor - the most easily overlooked "face project"
Many people only care about the core but ignore the watch belt. In fact, the state of the watch belt directly determines the comfort and quality of the dress。
In summary:
When you find an anomaly in your watch, check yourself against this watch: stop moving up the chain, slow down the magnetic, dry water and clean the skin. If these primary methods are not working, go to a professional “doctor”. Remember, accurate diagnosis is more important than blind maintenance。
