Signs Your Watch Needs Professional Servicing – Watch Specialist in Motherwell
Your watch is more than just a timekeeping device—it’s an essential part of your daily routine, a style statement, and often a cherished possession. At Pharaohs Bullion, serving Motherwell and Edinburgh, we’re here to help you identify when your watch needs professional attention. Regular servicing not only ensures accuracy but also prolongs its life.
Common Indicators Your Watch Needs Servicing
1. Inaccurate Timekeeping
If your watch is running too fast, too slow, or stopping intermittently, it’s a clear sign that servicing is overdue. These issues often result from dust or debris affecting the internal mechanisms or wear and tear on critical components.
2. Worn or Damaged Strap
While not part of the internal mechanics, a damaged strap affects the functionality and aesthetics of your watch. Our professional watch strap replacement in Motherwell ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
3. Unusual Noises or Ticking
A healthy watch should have a smooth, consistent ticking sound. If you notice irregular or louder ticking, it may indicate a problem with the movement or other internal components that require expert care.
4. Moisture Under the Glass
Condensation or fogging inside your watch suggests that water has entered the casing. Even water-resistant watches can develop leaks over time, leading to potential damage to the delicate mechanisms.
5. Reduced Power Reserve
For automatic or mechanical watches, if the power reserve (the time your watch stays functional without winding) is shorter than usual, it’s a sign that the movement needs cleaning, lubrication, or part replacement.
Why Regular Servicing Matters
Ignoring signs of trouble can lead to more extensive and costly repairs. Our professional watch service in Motherwell ensures:
Precision Performance
Regular maintenance keeps your watch running accurately.
Extended Lifespan
Proper care prevents long-term damage to your watch’s internal components.
Preserved Value
Luxury or heirloom watches retain their value better with consistent upkeep.
