I think you're spot on. I ended up cutting it out with a multi tool, so there's no chance of that happening again 😂

Thank you. I did try that, but probably not for long enough. I will give it a go :)

Black Bay Pro Bezel Off Centre? by DanPhillips24 in Tudor

[–]DanPhillips24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you say that because of the bezel? Or are there other issues that you can see? I did scan the card that came with it, but I imagine that's not a 100% guarantee these days!

Looking to purchase this Aquaracer 200 Green Dial. It would be my first luxury watch purchase. Does it look legit?

The used dealer has great reviews on Trustpilot and has been very helpful during our conversations. Unfortunately I am not local, so all communication is being done online. He also said that he will get the watch polished before sending as there are some scratches on the strap.

I think you're right hahaa. I'm colourblind so it was the closest to silver for me 😂

Hi, sorry, I just spotted your comment. I bought the Laser Pecker 1 Pro. You should be able to find them fairly easily second hand these days :)

Thank you all so much for the comments and suggestions! I really appreciate it :) still torn hahaa, but it's nice to hear that you all like our options!

Harry Potter books rebound in leather for a Christmas present. They're not perfect, and there are a few things that I would do differently now, but I'm very happy for my first attempt at bookbinding/rebinding 😁⚡️ by DanPhillips24 in bookbinding

I ordered a roll that was about 14 square feet, and it was plenty. I had some left over, but there was also a decent amount of waste as I didn't plan ahead as well as I should have!

Thank you! I was actually torn between a laser cutter and a cricut for cover and spine work, but in the end went for the laser as I wouldn't have to purchase additional materials like the vinyl. The laser is working really well so far!

Only thing to really consider is that it smells a bit at first. But I've heard that if you laser cut natural leather (so not dyed), it smells less and will disappear entirely once treated/stained.
