collectible watches Numerical Scale Repair Method

 

collectible watches are one of the classic models loved by many people, but the fading of time, overuse or bumps may cause the dial number scale to be damaged or faded. How to repair the digital scale without replacing the whole dial is a concern for many watch lovers. In this article, we will introduce a method to repair the digital scale of collectible watches, which requires relatively simple tools that anyone can try.

artifact

  1. formaldehyde (HCHO)
  2. swabs
  3. Transparent adhesive (e.g., universal adhesive)

move

  1. Use a cotton swab dipped in formaldehyde and apply it gently to the numerical scale positions.
  2. Wait a few minutes until the formaldehyde has evaporated.
  3. Pour a clear adhesive (e.g., universal adhesive) into the numerical scale positions so that it fills the position, but not too much.
  4. Wait for the glue to set.

caveat

  1. Formaldehyde is toxic and harmful and requires precautions to avoid skin contact and inhalation.
  2. Be sure to wait for the formaldehyde to evaporate cleanly before proceeding to the subsequent steps, otherwise the transparent adhesive is prone to blistering or delamination, affecting the effect.
  3. Don't overdo it with the clear adhesive or it will cause the numbers on the dial to stand out and also affect the use.

The above methods are able to repair the numerical scale of collectible watches and the effect is long-lasting. However, if the numerals are severely damaged, or other parts are also damaged, especially the movement, you need to consider repairing or replacing the parts.
