How to Obtain a Loupe for Watch Repair

You might want to repair your watch on your own, and you are looking for the basic tools that could help give you a lift, so the jewelers eye loop or the magnifier seem to be one of the essential tools that you need for the repair. However, most of you might have no idea of obtaining a loupe or the magnifier. You shouldn’t have to worry, since I have got this post for you. I know that some of you might totally be the green hand about the watch repair, and here are some tips that you need as you are going to obtain a loupe.

In general, the ideal magnification for the loupe that you use to repair your watch or the jewelry is 10x. The magnification of ten times will be more suitable for most of the people, but there are still people who would prefer the 15x or 20x loupe for a much clearer view of the details. However, as you know, the 15x and 20x loupes would be more expensive than the 10x, so I would love to introduce you the 10x loupe for the very beginning. Obviously, the 30x jewelers loupe would be more expensive and meant for the profession one.

I have to stress that not all loupes are good, even they might be produced by the same company. There are many loupe would be not clear enough for the watch repair, and the inherent problems, for example, image distortion, blurriness, or distracting red and blue halos, would be the things that you should pay more attention to when you are choosing the loupe. Since all of those inherent problems could make it more difficult to repair your watch anyway. In that situation, it’s better to have a try on the loupe you are going to buy before bringing it home.
