Common Watch Parts We Replace​

Some customers want to know about some of the parts that we change in watches, we tell you. Well, we think that your mainspring is worn. Well, that doesn’t mean anything to you. Well, here’s a mainspring. And this is what we check. We see if it’s worn in any way. You can run your finger right down through it. And I can tell you, this one is very curvy. It’s got worn spots in it. And in some spots it’s not.

The mainspring is the heartbeat of the watch. This has to be almost perfect. So it’s been in your watch four or five years. It’s coiling. It’s uncoiling. It’s coiling it. It’s uncoiling. This goes on day after day after day, hour after hour almost. So we want to replace this. If it has any worn problems at all, the better your mainspring, the better timing you’re going to have. And we want you to have excellent timing on your watch.

So if we got in our estimate, we think you need a new mainspring. This is why this has to be perfect.

Another thing that we replace not often, but on occasion we do, and it goes back to your automatic system, we’ve talked about your rotor weight, your rotor axle, and when that spins, rotor weight is going around. It goes through two parts called a reverser and a driver. And it takes that action and goes down to the mainspring. So we’ll wind your mainspring. So if you’re oscillating, weight is working properly, you reversers and drivers, if they need to be replaced. That’s another thing that we do here at watchrepair.net.
One of the parts that we use a lot whenever we service your Rolex is called an oscillating weight axle, so every time you move your wrist, you’re oscillating, weight is moving around, which winds your mainspring. Will this weight comes right down through to the axle and is totally spinning all the time. So whenever your Rolex grease or oil starts breaking down on your axle, it shows a lot of wear. So whenever your hit your watch and you hear this thunk or clunk or something, metal scraping on metal, it’s a good chance that your rotor axle is getting worn and we will replace those whenever we do a service job.
Whenever we’re done polishing your case and your band, cleaning the insides of your watch, putting the final things that we want to see is to see if your watch will pressure test or what a lot of people call waterproofing. What we will do is put it in this Wycheproof proof master. It is from Switzerland. Very nice machine, unfortunately, very expensive machine. Nonetheless, we use this on every watch that we do here. Watchrepair.net and what this does is this canister goes down and creates a vacuum around your watch. Very, very precise pins are on that. So if it starts to leak, these pins will move one way or another and it will show that it is not pressure proof. So where is the moisture coming in if it doesn’t pass the test? There’s no way of knowing. It’s either going to come in through the crystal. It’s either going to come in through the back gasket or it’s going to come through your tube and crown apparatus. So what we do is we put it on this machine, we immerse your watch in the water, press this button and it creates a vacuum in that chamber.
Whenever you send your watch into us, we send you an estimate and most of the time, if not all of the time, we’re going to put a brand new acrylic or plastic crystal on your Rolex, not necessarily for the scratches or the nicks. It is more of a pressure proofing problem. You’re you’ve had your plastic crystal on your watch, 5, 10, maybe even sometimes 15 years. And the acrylic or the plastic gets very brittle and it gets hard. So whenever you hit your crystal, whenever it’s that old, instead of being malleable, it’s actually very, very brittle and it’ll crack down the side of the crystal, which allows water to come in your watch. So whenever you send your watch to us, we’re just about always going to replace your plastic crystal for pressure proofing.
One of the final things that we do here, at watchrepair.net, is we check your watch on an automatic winder. This is this piece of equipment that’s slowly going around. We put your watch on this nine o’clock in the morning. It’s in constant motion. It shuts off at five o’clock in the afternoon. So it simulates your work day. And what we also do is set your watch to this atomic clock. So, I mean, it keeps extremely accurate time. So we leave your watch on this automatic winder for four days. And if it’s in with Rolex specifications, whatever your model is, we send it back to you after it’s been on here for four days.

Make sure to have your precision time piece professionally serviced.
