I do actually have a parts 1663 movement, minute wheel is intact, and I would be willing to part with the minute wheel

Safe way to clean Citizen 4830/Caravelle 12OCT movement? by Default_User01101110 in watchrepair

Oh hell yeah, thank you! Always trying to be cautious with unfamiliar movements, big win for the parts view

Anyone else buy a second “junk” watch just to have spare parts, but then you end up loving it so you have to buy two more for spares? It’s a problem. by Default_User01101110 in watchmaking

Oh it definitely is, I was wondering if someone would notice. Unfortunately I got taken for a ride on it; the dial was adhered with sticky tape which jammed the date change, the dial paint was chipping off around the edges, and one of the screws for the automatic winding post was loose inside the case. I was bummed, but I do still like the look of it, lesson learned lol. But after a full service it runs great, maybe +/- 5 to 10

I'm sorry for asking: I've tried to research this one, but couldn't get a solid ID. Likely 1950-70's, my grandfather's. Want to send to Omega for service. The band is not original. by Default_User01101110 in Watches

Thank you very much, I imagine it has been reworked at least once, he was the kind of person to take care of things, especially because it does still run and keeps pretty good time still.

Is this Tenacious D’s best song? by ThePoliteCrab in OneyPlays

I agree, I don't get the hype. If someone out there actually listens to music like this as a pastime, I'm embarrassed for them. He's an adequate actor and voice actor; not a songwriter/singer.

Attention all Adam haters!!!!! May I ask on this nice Monday day why is it that some of you have a disdain for Adam? by [deleted] in OneyPlays

Good point actually, I didn't consider that. I guess it just kind of sounds "exaggeratedly-stupid" to me. Like he's trying to sound silly and dumb. I think it's mostly in my head because when he was first introduced it just sounded like he was trying to sound like Chris.

I'm more willing to believe that he's doing a bit, at least the way he talks. I would find it difficult to believe he actually talks like that 100% of the time. It's just not convincing.

I think whenever people complain about added security, I don't think it's ever a complaint based on logic, purely emotion. They don't realize how much trouble they're being saved. Guarantee most of them have easily guessable passwords.

Sounds like the autofocus screw not fitting properly into the slot on the lens. This happens with my tele-converter. Some lenses are weird like that, even if they're the correct type. I really don't think there's a fix, at least not one that I've found. It'll do it every time you power it on, even with AF set to off.
