Whether you have invested in replica watches, or in the original Omega watches, or even Omega replica watches,it is absolutely critical that you develop a keen sense of how, and when, to care for your timepiece.

We all have a particularly sentimental image of what it is to purchase a luxury item like this - we imagine that it will be well cared for and yet also remain a showpiece in heavy rotation, but many of us secretly imagine these items being handed down through the generations. The legacy of ‘grandfather’s watch’ is certainly charming, but if it looks like a battered piece of tin with a cracked crystal, there isn’t much to hand down, now is there.

There is a great deal of middle ground as far as care is concerned. These are personal items, and most people have a personal approach to the process. This means that we have the difficult position of trying to lay out a good time line for you, without being so restrictive as to push up against other advice from the surprisingly reliable replica watches message boards and feedback.

A Note On Winding:

Be sure that you remove your watch first, because the angle at which you will be operating the winding crown if it is still on your wrist can severely stress the mechanism over time. The best hour to do this on a manual version is early in the morning, at roughly the same time. First thing in the day is ideal because it will power you evenly until the night. Be careful not to wind it too tightly either, and be sure to use an even, gentle speed when working the dial.

Servicing:

So, the million dollar question, how often should a person take their Omega replica watches in to be tinkered with by the professionals? Many people are surprised to find that there even exists such a service, let alone a need for it, but we must bear in mind that these are extraordinarily precise movements that can become uncalibrated, which defeats the purpose of owning a timekeeper.

There is much debate over the correct frequency of repairs or upkeep, but we have adopted the general rule of thumb that the way you use your timepiece should determine the frequency, not the level, of care it receives. If you are using an aeronautical watch and you are a pilot then the mechanisms will experience a different strain as compared to a person who simply wears it out on a special evening here and there.

Know that the mechanisms are lubricated in order to keep them moving smoothly. This lubricant will of course dry out and degrade, and need replacing, like any other similar machine that depends on an oily substance to keep running properly. We usually suggest that you take it in to be fully serviced every three years or so and lubricated every two, if you are wearing it casually. If the watch is ‘in practice’, meaning if you are a diver wearing your accessory down into the depths of the ocean every week, then you should shorten the time line considerably, perhaps alternating one service each year, from lubrication to full tune-up.

There is something immensely rewarding about caring for your Omega replica watches properly, and having the satisfaction of knowing that they will in fact last throughout the years, perhaps being passed down through the generations in your honor.
