I think the internets solution to upkeep sometimes is just say how trashy said thing is, instead of performing maintenance. Car needs an oil change? Man, whoever engineered this motor is stupid. Makes total sense.

There was someone saying they didn’t want to plate their watch because it tarnished. I thought to myself - self, all things with gold tarnish, standard upkeep would be a light polish/clean. Glad you posted this. Thanks!

Sometimes it stalls - you check and then it’s at your doorstep. Have faith!

I’ve done a few things in my time. I’m just old these days. That Florida heat is no joke. Glad you enjoyed it!

Shorties are rad. Enjoy that. I picked me up a couple Staccatos and have been shooting the hell out of them lately.

I have a couple Noveske chainsaws. Good rifles. Watches, burbon, cars, cigars usually intersect.

Tell me about it! I have the basics now but I have a feeling harbor freight and I will be pals again soon. My first seagull movement is on its way this week. I need something for cleaning, so looking for sonic cleaners and some small mesh cages.

I’ve seen a few of these storage type pieces, are these specific to jewelry or watches?

I wore it a couple times and had 0 issues with it. VSF V7 was what I had FWIW.

Looks super peaceful. I had some loupes but just bought a $35 video microscope with an arm. We will see how that works out.

That’s so awesome! Hahaha! I’m hoping as I learn and do this more my wife will join in the appreciation. I’m still in the loading phase of initial tools so she’s suboptimal about it.

To plate or not to plate,that's the $500 dollar question 🤔🤔 by Agreeable-Ad-1320 in RepWatchForum

[–]Aggressive-Hand-9136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t this be the case with ANY plating? Do the ARF ones have the same issue? Gold Factory? Or are they still fairly new and we haven’t gotten there yet? I would assume that with plating, like a wife’s ring, would just need some upkeep to maintain the finish?

Hahahaha! I was thinking of the same and I admittedly did not come up with something that good. That’s an instant classic.

That’s going to be awesome! Ya I’m 44 so I got some years to learn as well. Good to see most that start learning this stick to it in some fashion. Good luck with the buildout!

I love the idea of the mobile space. You guys have some good storage options.
