If the watch has a quartz (battery) powered movement the battery will need to be replaced every 2-3 years and the mechanical part of the movement may also need to be serviced from time to time. Once this is done and the movement and watch are reassembled, the timing is checked and adjusted to ensure that it is performing as accurately as possible over a variety of positions (to simulate the positions on the wearers wrist). In addition to this the watch case and bracelet can be re polished and refinished (as an optional extra) to remove surface scuff marks and scratches and return the watch appearance back to as close to possible to the original new condition. The mechanism is then lubricated and reassembled. It may also be necessary to replace some of the worn or damaged movement parts and the rubber seals on the case back and winding crown to ensure that it is water and dust resistant. This process requires the various parts of the movement to be dismantled and cleaned. To ensure the watch is performing at its optimum level of accuracy the watch movement should be serviced every four or five years. Much like an engine in a car it requires lubrication to keep all the various parts working efficiently and to reduce wear on the various parts of the mechanism.
