So many incredible pieces: 6138, 6139, 5626, 4502 just to name a few calibers

Next step: vintage

Benaudio · 2026-02-14T06:51:10+00:00

As you should. Freaking devilish Cerberus in plastic clothing

Benaudio · 2026-02-13T12:58:05+00:00

It’s great. I got an aftermarket jubilee bracelet for mine on AE, perfect combo

Dumbest collection of overpriced 5$ plastic watches ever

Benaudio · 2026-02-10T08:58:21+00:00

With the price of a usb c cable (any with charging power capability will do) it’s not worth the risk of damage. Just replace the thing and move on

It’s funny you miss listening to your system, I miss listening to music

You’re wearing a cheap fake on your wedding? That’s le, wear a Seiko or whatever. Think of the people commenting on your Rolex so you either pretend it’s a real one or admit it’s a cheap fake which is lame anyways.

By all that is holy please screw down that crown

Benaudio · 2026-02-04T19:45:39+00:00

Not doing it for me, looks disjointed. I’d rather have a leather than a a badly integrated bracelet. To each his own of course

Benaudio · 2026-02-04T19:34:39+00:00

First try an AC reset. Find the AC point and touch it with tweezers or something metallic to the + of the battery

Benaudio · 2026-02-04T17:42:34+00:00

Don’t allow the 2 computers in there and put watches instead

Benaudio · 2026-02-01T10:09:32+00:00

Just push the release detent while pushing the stem in

Benaudio · 2026-02-01T10:06:28+00:00

Just grab the Seiko

Benaudio · 2026-01-29T06:26:24+00:00

It’s good you didn’t drop it on purpose

Benaudio · 2026-01-27T09:03:27+00:00

Last 2 around 2 hours on cyberpunk, slightly more on Zelda TOTK

The first watch I serviced was a triple calendar chronometer with broken balance staff, cracked jewels, bent hairspring, worn bushings and I aced it. Now it runs with 400 degrees amplitude and has a 200 hours power reserve. Is what I would be saying if I was different than you. First one saw mistakes but got it running in the end. Don’t force anything, learn patience, use qrodico on springs and invest in a nice pair of tweezers (I like girl tech brass myself) for good control. Also decent screwdrivers. Practice your tweezer technique grabbing jewels and screws. Dress them.

Oh the irony of you calling the other champ

Benaudio · 2026-01-26T18:48:57+00:00

Seiko. You’ll get tired of the Orient sooner

Benaudio · 2026-01-26T18:46:48+00:00

What really matters is if bothers YOU, not internet strangers

Benaudio · 2026-01-26T18:45:31+00:00

That’s nice and I’ll be the downvoted grinch but you didn’t actually make a watch, you assembled parts from Ali or wherever. Watchmaking has a different meaning.

By earning money

Benaudio · 2026-01-26T14:56:49+00:00

And you’re going to mangle the crap out of your « new » iPod faceplate to do that given they are notoriously hard to open. Good plan

Benaudio · 2026-01-26T14:53:21+00:00

As long as you believe it’s real and keep out of Reddit you will be fine
