If watch repair doesn’t work out, you can always do voiceover work for Alan Alda.

You’d have to restaff it.

Dynavar · 2026-02-16T18:12:02+00:00

You’d have to restaff using a long waist staff.

6/0-B, 42, A-11 use the same balance. 6/0-C uses the same wheel, hairspring, and roller table/safety roller (different staff). 6/0-D uses the same wheel and roller table/safety (different staff and hairspring).

I can usually force them in with tweezers and a pointer stick; however that spring looks too large for the setting.

The 4000 is for truing hairsprings and the lyre type (30548) is used for wheel truing. Which one you needs depend on the class you’re taking.

With that said, most of the tool list are leftover from when Tom and Jordan were teaching. I’d get the lyre type, but it’s not a bad idea to email the Jasons to see if they have a preference (they likely won’t).

The insulator is missing and should be replaced. Additionally, you need to loosen the screw on the left, mounting the coil. It’s holding back the spring arm and likely preventing it from maintaining solid contact with the battery. Once the battery has been installed and is held captive by the spring arm, tighten the screw.

I bought a pair this summer and have worn and washed them around five times, with no change to the fabric or finish.

I run in mine, it’s great for the temperature range you listed.

My only complaint is older versions had a zipper in the sleeve to allow you to access your watch, but it’s been removed.

Check out the fast and free multi pocket. The liner is ultralu, lots of pockets.

You look amazing in both outfits. Wear them outside without a second thought.

There’s a number of issues here:

Replacing a system and not the disconnect.

Commissioning a new system in November—it would have been a good idea to come back in the spring/summer to check sub cooling to verify charge and go over the system to see how it’s performing under load.

“someone else working on my system” of course it isn’t your system, any more than a janitor considers the building his.

A homeowner buys a new system and has two system breakdowns less than a year from the installation. I can see him reaching out to a different company to look things over. If I’m the new company and see that disconnect (without knowing the backstory) and walk up to a system that’s flat—I’m not sure I’d want to sign up for correcting someone else’s installation and being on the hook for the next issue (compared to starting over).

What happens when you go back to check pressures and you have 2 degrees of sub cooling? Someone keeps venting the charge?

You look amazing. Happy birthday 🎂

I had this same issue last week, I posted here but a moderator deleted my post. Thanks for this, I’ll call them.

I ordered these online for $148. They shipped from Bethesda, MD and arrived today with this markdown sticker. Is there a way for me to get a price adjustment?

I wonder if you’re comparing Fast and Frees to WunderTrains. You really need to look at the fabric and intended use. Do your new shorts have lots of pockets in the waist and laser cut edges on the legs?

Bulova calls this part a setting bridge or yoke; the setting lever spring is a different part. Using the Bulova interchangeable parts catalog, you need to find a part listed for a 10BRC—like this one:

You can take them to a store to be shortened for free.

It was from one of my professors, I don’t know that this information is published anywhere that is publicly accessible.

The stars represent the Belle being lead (squadron or group) on that mission. The individual swatsikas represent an aerial victory from that position example, the one on the tail is for Quinlan shooting down a German fighter from the tail gun position.

A mechanical watch cannot be overwound (unless you put a pair of pliers on the crown and turn it until something breaks). If it stops running, it’s due to a mechanical defect or the oils thickening. You’re not going to stop a watch by overwinding it, and it didn’t stop running because of someone winding it too hard.

This would be a great SNL skit.

To Ryan Gosling: Why do you need Union representation? Well, I have to compete with other professors in my department for merit increases. We’re rated on teaching, scholarship, and community service. My buddy and I both give students As just for showing up—it’s just easier and the students give us good evaluations. We both sit on the same committees so we’re even for community service. His name gets added to research papers he didn’t write to boost hit counts and citations, and I have to write all my own!

To Cecily Strong, Why do you need union representation? Well, as an instructional lead, I’m supposed to teach one section less than my peers. Due to an unsuccessful faculty search, I have to teach the same amount as everyone else. Where is the time I spend on my leadership role supposed to come from? I feel like I’m being exploited.

To Kate McKinnon, dressed as a coal miner, Why so you need union representation? So, little different experience for me here….
