10 TINY Mistakes That Will DESTROY Your Expensive Watches
About this video
Centeno presents ten common mistakes that can damage expensive watches, including adjusting time backwards, improper date changes, over-winding, failing to seal the crown before water exposure, misunderstanding water resistance ratings, purchasing from unauthorized dealers, lacking proper insurance coverage, exposing watches to magnets, subjecting them to excessive shock, and neglecting routine maintenance.
Key takeaways
- Centeno advises always adjusting watch time forward (clockwise) and avoiding date adjustments between 10 PM and 2 AM on mechanical watches to prevent internal damage
- Centeno emphasizes that water resistance ratings like 3 ATM or 5 ATM do not permit prolonged underwater use or exposure to temperature changes from cold to hot environments
- Centeno recommends purchasing watches from authorized dealers to ensure valid warranties, keeping receipts and documentation for insurance purposes, and protecting watches from magnetism and physical shock during activities like golf or tennis
