How to choose a watch that suits you?

For a person who wants to own a watch, the choice of price is the first step. Many people will ask: how much does it cost to buy a watch?

Generally speaking, the watch in modern society is no longer a simple timekeeping tool, but a status symbol, so wearing the wrong watch will bring you more or less trouble. For example, you are the boss of a company. When talking business with others, I reached for a cheap quartz watch made in China. Wow! Business may not be done.

Or you are just a group of people, reach out, Rolex! If you are not careful, people will think that you stole or wore fake tickets. I've been hurt by carelessness in my work, and I'll feel bad for months!

So after my summary, the monthly salary of China people who buy watches for two months is just right. It's not too bad, and it fits your identity. If the monthly salary is 2000, it is good to buy a watch of around 4000.

2. Watch store choice:

It is important to choose a good watch shop. Mainly consider the following aspects:

1. position. It's better to be from the same city.

2. specifications. Big watch shops not only have many watches, but also are not easy to close down. You can rest assured after sale. It is best to choose an old brand with good reputation.

3. Level. Including the level of repairmen (certified by employees) and the professional quality of shop assistants are equally important. It directly affects the correctness of your watch selection and the quality of warranty.

4. Attitude. Are you dedicated? Is there a responsibility? Are you enthusiastic? . . . It plays an important role in your choice of watch. Sometimes it is important to buy a watch.

2. The price level of the brand

In fact, the price grades of various brands vary greatly. According to the current domestic market: 500-2000 yuan is low-grade (Seiko, Rome); 2,000-5,000 yuan is medium-low match (Tissot, Plum Blossom, Xima), 5,000-10000 yuan is medium-low match (Longines, Amy,), and 10000-50000 yuan is medium-high match (Rolex, Omega, Zhenlishi, GP). 50000-200000 is high-grade (PP, AP). More than 200 thousand is a luxury file. However, it should be noted that the movement is the most important thing for collection. The design, structure and processing technology of the movement determine the final value of this watch. We should spend money on the cutting edge (sports grade). We should buy steel at the same price instead of gold, gold instead of diamonds, and try to increase the value ratio of the movement in the whole watch as much as possible.

Brands are too big to buy, and brands are too small to lose face. Friends who wear high imitation watches, sorry about the poor quality, come and provide some suggestions on buying watches.

The following is an example of watch ranking from high to low:

Advanced watches: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Haujue, Parmigiani, Blancpain (complex model), Athens (complex model), Black Crocodile (complex model), Zippo (complex model) and Glashü tte (specific model).

First class: Rolex, Chopin, Earl, Cartier, Wan Guo, Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Category II: Genlux, Kunlun, Zunda, Ruibao, Panerai, Omega, Du, Deng and Yubao.

Second-class category: Huangtuo (fake Rolex hehe), TAG Heuer, Paul Pico, Martin.

Braun, celebrity, Amy, Porsche, Ikebukuro, Xiao Burstein, eberhard, Vergen, Bulgari.

Second-class and second-class: Radar, Movado, Qi Nianhua, Shangmei, Soman, Boutler, Aidan, Longines, Fulisi, Menaihua, Jacques, Mati, Sinni, Rena, Emin, Stowe, Sotis, Baoxing.

Back to the topic, how to choose a high imitation watch with good quality, correct style, suitable brand and price, which can be worn, and the most important thing is that it is not true or false.

ETA-the world's largest supplier of finished and semi-finished watch movements, with assembly lines all over Europe, Asia and other parts of the world, and ETA movement assembly plants in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province. The annual output of the movement can reach more than 200 million. It can be said that 90% of the watch movements in the world are made by ETA in Switzerland, and many Swiss brands of watches rely entirely on ETA movements.

So what is the value of the ETA movement? The more expensive one is 200 dollars each. The cheapest ETA movement is only a dozen dollars! But its finished watch can sell for tens of millions! Mainly depends on the degree of polishing of the movement and the influence of the brand. Therefore, whether a watch is expensive or cheap does not depend on its insufficient materials, but entirely depends on its brand influence and movement polishing technology. In fact, the watch itself is expensive and there is not much money!

If ETA is OEM in Chinese mainland, it is worthless. It only takes two or three hundred yuan to get it. Actually, it's an ETA movement, no matter it's a classic 2824.

2824-2 2836 2836-2

2892 267 1 2896 2894 7750

And so on, but if it is Swiss original products, it can generally reach the price of 600 yuan-more than 2000 yuan.

Distinguishing the steel quality of watches mainly depends on the color, feel and polishing fineness. The brighter the steel, the better. The feel depends on the workmanship, and so does the degree of polishing.

2836-2 is heavy and relatively expensive because of its dual calendar movement.

My explanation is: strictly speaking, it is not original, at least not the kind of goods sold at the counter. It is more appropriate to call it a second-line genuine product or 1: 1. We can start with that kind of watch, because the movement of that watch is the same as that of the genuine counter. Most importantly, the specifications, steel mouth and feel of this watch are exactly the same as those of the genuine counter. As for why the price is so cheap, it is mainly because it is assembled in different places, but it is original, not original. The definition of genuine watches is usually described by the original factory, referred to as four original goods. But it can't be said that a watch that is not assembled by the original factory is not a genuine watch. As long as the accessories are genuine, the assembled watch is genuine. When it comes to size and specification, it is actually different from the genuine counter, but the difference is very small and can be ignored. The conclusion is that this is genuine, but not original. It really is 1: 1. There are many such goods in Japan. The price is generally about 30% lower than that of domestic counters. For friends who love watches but don't eat much, it is enough to start with such watches.

The advantage of choosing this watch is that

From the appearance, operation, quality and workmanship, they are all very similar to genuine watches, and people who don't understand or are amateurs can't see the truth at all. So in the end, I suggest that instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a watch that they are not familiar with, it is better to choose a watch with ETA movement. Although it is not a genuine watch, it can be comparable to a genuine watch, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, which may be only one tenth or more lower than the counter price! In fact, all aspects are not inferior to counter goods! Of course, the probability of being recognized as a fake is much smaller, and I can also get great psychological comfort!

The calendar function can be considered as the simplest additional function of the watch. It also has many types, the most common of which is the window calendar. Window calendars also have many forms of evolution. For example, from the speed of calendar number change, there are three kinds: (1) instant jump, (2) fast jump and (3) slow crawl. Most of the calendar windows are opened on the dial at 3 o'clock, and there are also other positions, which are different from each other. But the so-called "big-eyed" calendar is strange, and the ten digits and the single digits of the calendar are displayed on two dials respectively. This can make the number of characters larger, and there is no need to add a magnifying glass to the watch mirror.

The structure of a watch with calendar function is not complicated. The main parts of the calendar mechanism are: calendar dial, calendar dial, calendar wheel, calendar positioning rod, calendar positioning rod spring, calendar speed dial, calendar cover plate and screws.

Working principle: the power is transmitted by the hour wheel, and the calendar dial rotates once every 24 hours through the speed change of the calendar wheel. There is a stop pin (or something similar to a spring) on the calendar dial, which is used to move the teeth of the calendar dial. The calendar dial has 3 1 teeth and characters, and the calendar positioning rod cuts into the teeth of the calendar dial and plays a positioning role under the pressure of the calendar positioning rod spring. If the calendar jump mode is slow climbing or fast jumping, the calendar wheel and calendar dial will move slowly bit by bit when changing calendars (from 8: 00 pm to12pm); If the calendar jump is instantaneous, there should be a cam, a big lever and a spring under the calendar wheel. When the cam is compressed by the big lever and suddenly released, the calendar dial can be punched out in an instant.

There are many brands now. In fact, brand is not the only criterion to distinguish between good and bad watches. So how do you tell whether a watch is good or bad? Explain it in detail below.

Appearance parts

The external parts of a watch can be checked from many aspects, such as the shell, the second hand, the mirror, the dial and so on. In the process of appraisal, the following steps should be noted:

1, the case is smooth and reflective, without obvious sand holes and scratches, and the left, right, upper and lower corners should be symmetrical.

2. The joint between the back cover and the upper shell should show absolute tightness.

3. The distance between the case and the two bezel rings is equal, and the depth of the hole is appropriate, which will make the bezel difficult to fall off.

4. There should be a correct safety gap between pointer, mirror and dial.

5, dial and pointer electroplating finish is good, not only should there be no spots, and dial scale or luminous point should be complete.

sensitive

The sensitivity of a watch lies in the flexibility of its balance wheel. It can be seen from the following aspects: First, gently shake the watch that has stopped moving, and pay attention to the fact that the watch is not wound at this time. We need to observe the movement of the second hand with the help of external force: if the second hand stops moving in a short time, it means that the watch can go completely after winding, and the appraisal result is high sensitivity; On the contrary, the sensitivity is not high or the meter machine is faulty. Then, the starting steps are the same as above. You need to slowly turn the handle to observe the starting of the second hand: the less the handle turns, the earlier the second hand starts, which means the higher the sensitivity of the watch; On the contrary, the sensitivity is low or the instrument has other faults.

Needle shifting mechanism

The needle setting mechanism should have flexibility, reliability and uniform pointer rotation. Check the tightness, that is, the tightness between the separator and the central shaft. When setting the needle, if there is a feeling of looseness or tightness, it means that the friction of the wheel is faulty. On the contrary, the needle fixing machine is normal.
