How to Change the Hands of the Clock?

watch adjustment kit
The hands of the watch need occasional replacement to update a face or to replace rusty needles.
The hands of the clock revolve in circles thanks to the mechanism of the same, either operated by battery or by springs that need rope. The hands of the clock need to be changed when they are rusting and do not rotate well due to the coverage of a face that is not watertight.

Instructions
1. Put a wall clock, shelf or cuckoo looking up on the table. Leave the box watches and large models in place.

2. Take the close of the coverage of one face of the watch in one hand while holding the body of the same with the other. Pull the zipper towards the front of the watch to release it with the watch fixing kit. The closure is usually to the right of the glass covering the face of the watch.

3. Swing the glass from the lock to the opposite side of the watch. The glass door will move on one or several hinges usually to the left of the face of the watch.

4. Put a needle-nose pliers on the nut in the center of the watch. Turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. Remove it and remove it.

5. Take the minute hand well closed to the center with your thumb and index finger on each side of the needle. Pull it gently with the watch repair kit and take it out of the watch.

6. Remove the hour hand in the same way as the previous one.

7. Hold the new needle the hours between your thumb and index finger while holding the end of the tip in the other hand. Put the new hour hand on the small pin in the center of the watch.

8. Put the minute hand on the face of the watch in the same way as the previous one.

9. Replace the nut in the center of the needles and adjust it in the direction of the needles with the watch adjustment kit.

10. Restore the correct time by turning the minute hand manually.

11. Close the glass door of the watch covering the face. An audible click will sound when the glass door closes and latches into place.

How to Defrost Your Watch?

Hello, friends! This time I come to show you 2 practical ways to dry a clock inside without opening it, because unfortunately I had this problem a few days ago and as they gave me good results I decided to share it with all of you.

CLARIFICATION: do not forget that what we will explain below is also valid for cell phone, smart phone watch, camera and other small electronic devices.

Before we start, for our goal to be fulfilled successfully we must ensure that the humidity inside the watch is on the glass (as in the image), for it ONLY IF YOU MISS IT but do not get upset, you must place the clock on a place that the sun for a while looking up, ie the front of the mechanical wrist watch where you look at the time you have to give the sun. And if not wait for the night, as there is more humidity the clock will tarnish as we want it before we start.

1st method : Well let's start, for the first method and for me, the best, since it is very easy, relatively fast and gives very good results (gave me) is the following:

You need :
1_ A bag of anti-humidity balls (you can find them in appliances, backpacks, furniture, or basically any new device). DO NOT OPEN, CLOSED AND JOINTS COMPLETE THEIR FUNCTION.

2_ As a second item we will need a bag, preferably erotic type ziploc or some small, (I used a long bag) the idea is to not enter or leave any air.

3_ as last and fundamental that is to say more will have to be present the mechanical wrist watch with humidity like the one that can be seen in the photo of the beginning.

Procedure :
What we are going to do is very easy, just close inside the bag, that is, preferably without any air, inside the mechanical wrist watch with the anti-humidity bag, try that the bag is on the side and attached to the glass of the clock, where moisture is concentrated.
So we leave it a maximum day, maybe with one night it's ready.

2nd method (in case it was complicated with the bag)
For this method the technique is basically the same but we will use a natural absorbent material: RICE as some will have seen in restaurants where the saleritos put rice is simply to absorb moisture and not to make it more beautiful.

Procedure :  
In a bowl with a lot of rice (crude obviously, as it comes from a package) we submerge our poor leather wrist watch and leave it for a while, around a day it will be ready and as good as new.

To finish, if you want what you can try to do is wetting the leather wrist watch in ethyl alcohol as it dries the water, but I would recommend you try one of these methods that go barbaric.

I hope I have been of help and have made a useful contribution to this dearest community. A big greeting and DO NOT FORGET TO COMMENT.
