Why You should Choose professional care over diy watch repair
Thinking of fixing your own watch? One small mistake could cost you more than you think—here’s why expert repair is the only way to go.
Don’t Go DIY with a Watch that Needs TLC
Watches are more than just timekeepers; they’re symbols of craftsmanship, history, and personal style. Whether it’s a luxury timepiece or a sentimental favorite, taking proper care of your watch is essential to preserving its function and value. While regular maintenance is crucial, attempting DIY repairs can do more harm than good. Many watch owners unknowingly damage their timepieces by making small mistakes or following misleading online tutorials. Instead of risking further issues, trust expert watchmakers to handle your watch with precision.
Common Ways People Accidentally Damage Their Watches
Even if you never attempt a DIY repair, improper handling and neglect can still cause serious damage. Here are some of the most common ways people unintentionally ruin their watches:
- Wearing the Wrong Watch for the Occasion – Dress watches are not meant for intense activities. Avoid wearing them while playing sports, swimming, or engaging in heavy physical work. There’s a reason why sports watches exist!
- Engaging in Mechanical Work While Wearing Your Watch – If you’re working on a car, using power tools, or doing household repairs, take off your watch. The vibrations and impacts can disrupt its delicate internal mechanisms.
- Neglecting Routine Cleaning – Dust, dirt, and oils from daily wear accumulate over time, affecting your watch’s appearance and function. Wipe your watch down weekly with a microfiber cloth. If it’s water-resistant, use a soft brush and warm water—but be careful, as water resistance can degrade over time.
- Ignoring Regular Maintenance – Just like a car, a watch requires regular servicing. If you haven’t had your watch professionally cleaned or inspected in years, it’s time to send it in. Even vintage watches can be restored, and custom parts can be fabricated if necessary.
You Might Not Even Know Your Watch is Broken
One of the most critical steps in watch care is recognizing when something is wrong. However, identifying a problem isn’t always easy. Minor internal issues can go unnoticed until they escalate into costly repairs.
Unfortunately, many watch owners, in an effort to save time or money, attempt to fix their watches themselves—often with disastrous results. If you find yourself watching a YouTube tutorial on repairing a movement and you’ve never done it before, take caution. Instead, send your watch to My Jewelry Repair, where our certified watchmakers can diagnose and fix the issue professionally.
We Handle All Watch Repairs—So You Don’t Have To
At My Jewelry Repair, we specialize in servicing all types of watches, from quartz to mechanical. Here’s what you can expect when you trust us with your timepiece:
Quartz Watch Repairs – We start with a diagnostic test to determine if the issue is as simple as a dead battery or something more complex. If the movement is faulty, our expert watchmakers can replace it with a high-quality replacement. Even something as simple as replacing a watch battery should be handled by a professional. Doing it yourself can void warranties or damage the delicate components inside your watch.
Mechanical & Automatic Watch Repairs – These intricate timepieces require precise care. Inside a mechanical watch, there can be 300 to 500 tiny moving parts, all working in harmony. One mistake in a DIY attempt could lead to a costly repair or even irreversible damage.
No matter the issue, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic machines and techniques to pinpoint problems and execute precise repairs.
