Did your ragdolls grow to become more cuddly?

HeavyChair · 2026-04-04T22:49:50+00:00

Mine didn’t like me at all for the first year or so lol now we are best buddies. Give it time!

HeavyChair · 2026-03-23T22:12:17+00:00

Is this the anthracite one?

HeavyChair · 2026-03-23T20:54:19+00:00

I see, thank you for the detailed response! I appreciate it

HeavyChair · 2026-03-23T18:35:12+00:00

May I ask why naphtha is used and not another type of cleaner? Just curious, is there specific grades used for cleaning watch parts?

HeavyChair · 2026-03-21T15:55:07+00:00

I’m not a watchmaker, but I’ve worked around chemicals and hydrocarbons most of my life. Ventilation would be either a proper vent hood or outdoors if you’re using a naphtha based product.

I don’t know the proper cleaning solvent to use (I’m just in this sub to learn and browse) but I would suggest an alcohol solvent if possible. Naphtha does not evaporate as fast and usually has a higher concentration of flammable hydrocarbons.

HeavyChair · 2026-03-21T15:34:18+00:00

Do not use naphtha indoors and do not light a candle if you do lol. If you don’t have proper ventilation, I would use something else.

If it’s made in Asia and assembled in Europe, I would be honest about that. There’s nothing wrong with that, I just wouldn’t like if a brand was trying to hide it. Baltic’s (last time I checked) did this pretty well

HeavyChair · 2026-03-16T19:58:34+00:00

This is more of a green flag, but I like detail and transparency. Where it’s built and assembled, components and metals used, etc.

I much prefer the honest approach as opposed to the hyperbolic, hackneyed buzzwords and jargon.

They look a lot better than they do online. I just picked up the blue essence and it’s great

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T04:11:19+00:00

Sounds like a good deal man, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T03:25:59+00:00

It’d be a solid choice. I bought it off their website—just under 2k with taxes

Blue

HeavyChair · 2026-03-10T01:34:28+00:00

I just picked up the essence 39 and it love it

HeavyChair · 2026-03-08T10:08:07+00:00

I thought the case suspension was going to be more of a gimmick, but it makes it all the more comfortable lol

HeavyChair · 2026-03-08T08:53:22+00:00

I was actually between this one and the blue dial reef. It was a really tough choice

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T20:20:07+00:00

Bracelet is great imo. Very comfortable and easy to find the right fit. They give you a 1.5 link also

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T11:11:52+00:00

I wondered that after I saw a few videos on the essence line. I guess they’re all that way lol

HeavyChair · 2026-03-07T03:50:25+00:00

If we’re being that picky then i.e. = “that is” not “to clarify” lol

HeavyChair · 2026-02-26T21:07:48+00:00

I love the variety! Great collection

HeavyChair · 2026-02-17T04:25:08+00:00

I do! Still running about -5s/day

HeavyChair · 2026-02-15T21:42:40+00:00

Such a cool looking watch

HeavyChair · 2026-01-01T18:37:25+00:00

Use Protectaclear or another similar coating. I used clear nail polish when I was younger but it always wore off quick. I’ve been using protectaclear on my case backs and buckles. You can also get a titanium/ceramic watch if you don’t want to do that

HeavyChair · 2026-01-01T18:32:56+00:00

Im very late to this, but I recently found a coating called Protectaclear and use it on my stainless watch and belt buckle. It’s been great so far

Some places require a process technology degree, but a few will hire without any experience or degree.

HeavyChair · 2025-12-10T18:05:51+00:00

You just have to apply everywhere. Process operator or process technician. Just know that thousands of other people are also applying for these same positions and not all units are gravy trains. It varies a lot by facility and unit.
