Therefore, besides paying attention to whether there is a warranty card or not, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the information on the warranty card and the code of the watch are consistent and whether the registered date is correct.

2. Appearance of the watch

Starting from the case, mirror, dial, crown and strap, check whether there are scratches and signs of use on the appearance. At the same time, make sure that the hands on the dial are correctly installed, the calendar is accurately stuck, the strap is tight and so on. It is best to check in front of the courier boy or counter staff to minimize the occurrence of disputes.

3. Timekeeping of watches

It is a normal phenomenon for mechanical watches to have errors, so don't think that if it doesn't go right, it is of bad quality or fake. On the day you receive the watch, you can start to record the timekeeping error for a week to see if it is within a normal range.

4. Functions of the watch

Check whether the functions of the watch are perfect, for example, whether the functions of luminous, moon phase, date and chronograph are normal. For chronograph watches, you can turn on the chronograph function to test the timing effect and make sure that the hand points to the 12 o'clock scale accurately.TUDOR Glamour Double Date M57103-0005 At the same time, check whether the calendar can jump smoothly at night.

Generally speaking, 3 to 5 years is a common standard. Not every watch was made in the year you purchased it, but maybe it's an older model that's been sitting around for a year or two. When you feel the error start to increase, in addition to checking for magnetization and bumps, it also means that the lubricant inside the movement has gradually dried up and needs to be serviced and maintained.
