Luxury timepieces are every man and woman's dream to own. Spending large amounts of money for these works of art are something not to be taken lightly. To protect your investment, a watch owner must take note of these tips to keeping your valuable timepiece running like the precision instruments that they are as well as prolong or even improve their value in the secondary markets. Watches, especially chronographs, are essentially precision instruments. Given the complexity it takes to construct such a lovely timepiece, it should come as no surprise either that care and maintenance is an arduous task as well. Sizable investments in timepieces entail equally sizable investments in care and maintenance as well. Some luxury watches come with lifetime guarantees from their respective manufacturers. This should be maximized by the watch owner to see to it that only the authorized and specialized hands of craftsmen are servicing your beautiful timepieces. This ensures good protection on your investment in case you'd ever want to sell your watch as well as maximizing the manufacturers promise on delivering a good watch to you. Certain aspects of a watch change over time with continued use. Qualities like waterproofing and wear and tear on leather straps from prolonged exposure to the elements, cosmetics even human perspiration can lead to depreciation. It is important that watches be stored in a cool dry place when not in use and the waterproofing of watches be checked annually to keep a watch working longer. To maintain the overall look and cleanliness of a watch, it must be recommended that the watch owner gently clean the metal bracelet and the back plate of the watch with a small, soft brush like a toothbrush dipped in lukewarm soapy water. After this, it is recommended that you rinse it in fresh water and wipe with a soft cloth, this is especially important after swimming in either chlorinated pool water or salty sea water. It must also be stressed that watches are precision instruments and any exposure to magnetic fields and magnets in general may lead to adverse effects on the overall precision and workings of your watch. Exposure to magnetic fields may result in magnetizing of parts, especially the main spring and said parts will adhere to one another and eventually cause the watch to cease operating, thereby significantly decreasing its value. All in all, watch care and maintenance is an undertaking which requires great patience and discipline. Consider taking care of your watch as a good investment for when you will eventually decide to sell your watch in the secondary market. It is not uncommon for well-maintained watches to fetch good prices in watch buying establishments the world over. Martin Tinio of Buy Sell Watches WeBuyWatches.com
