Window's Clock Company shares: "How to repair a broken watch shaft?
Before understanding what to do if the watch shaft is damaged, take a look at the main reasons for the damage to the watch shaft. There are two main reasons. One is due to the rust and tightness of the large steel wheel screws, which caused the screws to break during disassembly. The other is due to the wrong direction during disassembly and installation, and the excessive force of rotation caused the screw cap to break, causing the screws to break in the shaft hole.
What should I do if the watch shaft is broken? There are actually three ways to remove it.
 
The first method is to use four claw pliers to grip the shaft, use a long needle to grind the tip flat, resist the broken rub, and move the screw body in the direction of rotation. If there is a feeling of movement, it can be rotated out according to the situation. If it is not effective, the second method can be used.
The second method is to use a spatula to move the broken screw, which is more powerful than a needle tip, and may be pulled out; If it still cannot be dialed out.
The third method is annealing treatment. Place the entire shaft inside a small glass tube (to prevent rapid cooling and hardening in the air) and anneal it on an alcohol lamp. Use a steel needle or wire to make a drill bit, clamp the annealed shaft with four jaw pliers, and then extend the drill bit into the broken area to drill out the remaining screws. Use a tap to clean the threaded hole. This will allow all remaining screws to be removed.

 
The above is all about what to do if the mechanical watch is fast and how to adjust the speed of the mechanical watch. If you need to purchase a watch, you can follow the Window's Clock.
