The watch handle belongs to the exterior decoration part and is called "handle" in Guangdong. As a component, it consists of two parts: the watch handle head and the handle (handle). In the process of using the watch, he mainly depends on him to set the hands, wind up the moon, adjust the calendar and stop the second. Because of this, it can be said to be the most important part of the watch, and colleagues can also show the unique appearance and format of the watch. Many famous Swiss brand watches have made a fuss about the handle, some are decorative and some are waterproof. The appearance of watches has become the uniqueness of these watches, and if they are made into exaggerated sharp handles, they can often become a great beauty of some watches.
Well-known brands of watches also have their own LOGO printed on the watch handle. Its watch name is abbreviated as LOGO, and even jewelry is embedded in it. In addition to the decorative function, the handle of the watch is the most important place for waterproof watches. If it is not done properly, it is easy to get into the water. There is a closed apron inside the watch handle, which is in contact with the handle tube on the case to ensure that water and moisture cannot enter the movement of the watch. In order to improve the waterproof performance of watches, some watch handles are tightly closed with aprons, and some watch handles are screwed (such as Rolex). In this way, a closed watch is like a plug.
The watch handle is also a device that is easy to be damaged. The most common damage end is the rust of the watch handle, especially those old watches, which will cause the watch handle to become thinner and climb up. Another reason is that the watch handle is vulnerable to the impact and collision of external forces, which leads to the skew deformation of the watch handle, which will affect the waterproof performance and operation. Mechanical watches are more frequently operated than quartz watches, because the constant winding of the moon and the setting of hands all year round will lead to the constant friction damage of the watch handle and the decoloration of electroplating. This watch looks unsightly, and it is easy to make the handle fall off.
Every brand watch service department in Switzerland pays attention to "all-round" service when maintaining, protecting and nursing watches, and its internal essence covers aprons and watch handles that are prone to aging every time. Doing so can ensure the waterproof performance of the watch, but there may be a cost problem here. An imported original watch handle is not cheap. But if you explicitly admit that the watch often gets water from the handle, you should not hesitate to replace it. It should be said that the watch handle is finally an "expensive" piece on the watch. In the past, when watches were repaired, protected and nursed back to health, we didn't think about replacing them. In the maintenance of wrist watches, we often see some old watches, many of which have been used for 10 years or even longer. After the apron of the watch handle is aged, it can't be replaced as soon as possible, which leads to water in the movement and serious corrosion of parts. Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will be difficult to repair the watch.
In order to prolong the service life of the watch handle, the most important thing is to pay attention to waterproof, and try not to take the watch to snorkel and wash clothes. Once you get wet or wet by rain, never debug the accuracy of your watch, but dry it first and then debug it. Because the handle of the watch is protruding, try to prevent bumping. Also, pay attention to the gap between the watch handle and the case. Too small will affect the operation, too large will affect the waterproof performance, and it will not look beautiful.
You can bring a small bottle of silicone oil and put a little into the watch handle regularly, which can increase the waterproof performance and make the hands of the first quarter moon smooth and smooth. When choosing a watch, the stainless steel handle is much better than electroplating, and the larger handle will be more convenient to use.
