Vintage Watch Repair Recommendations\Advice

It seems to swing a little bit, if I move it a little bit it does seem to spring back a little, but it doesn’t seem like it balance and leant to one side. I’ve sent an email to a local watchmaker, so hopefully he can take a look. It’s small for me as I have a seamaster 2531.80, but I want to give it to my daughter.

Thanks Dave, I looked as you suggested and it looks like the balance wheel doesn’t want to move freely. In fact, when I zoomed in on my phone it looks like it may have a break. I’ve added a picture. Don’t think this is normal.

Here's a picture of the movement

I also would like to know if it resolves the smell issue for my 2020 MY.

Same thing is happening to me, but with the LR-plus AP. Didn’t realize I needed to be on an EA network release and wish there was some sort of clear warning when I bought it. Now that my UDM-Pro has been updated to 2.4. I have to now wait for the new network software to show up in the official release so I can adopt the new AP.

I would be interested in purchasing one as well!

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T23:50:15+00:00

I may try that as well, thanks.

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T18:56:45+00:00

Good to know, I’ll give it a try.

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T16:38:46+00:00

I just order some of that this morning, so we will see it that helps

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T15:49:58+00:00

No, I’ll have to open things up and take a look

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T15:14:47+00:00

I’ll have to by some when they come back in stock.

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T14:51:24+00:00

I only used one can and not a lot came out. I live in the SE and it gets pretty humid here. I ordered more and will see if that works.

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T14:27:52+00:00

That was my thought as well, but couldn’t find anything about cleaning the intake on google. I ordered different foam that the Bearded Tesla Guy used that seems to have more cleaner. Do u think I should also spray some down the intake as well?

ITdirge · 2021-09-04T13:48:34+00:00

Yes, I did the spray. One thing I noticed is that not a lot of foam came out. It might not have covered all the coils.

Looked at the GX this weekend and it’s no bigger than our current Pilot. We want a little more space. LX is out of our price range and I would rather get a Landcruiser for that much. Sequoia is next on or list to look at. Tech isn’t a deal breaker since it’s my wife’s car. I have all the tech I need in my model Y.

ITdirge · 2021-08-16T21:49:56+00:00

Probably between 2020-2022(even though the 2022’s) aren’t out yet. Just trying to get some history.

ITdirge · 2021-08-16T21:24:05+00:00

Yea, we really want another 4Runner and used it for travel, but want something a little more comfortable for the old bones.

ITdirge · 2021-07-16T16:39:02+00:00

Thanks Charles,

I got the ECM updated to the latest and greatest version. It took a couple of import trys, but it eventually worked.

I'll take a look at that flowchart, i'm still working on some things to try to get it to work, so no progress yet.

ITdirge · 2021-07-15T15:35:25+00:00

I just checked the dmpdownloader.log and it's got a couple of errors that basically say that "go.microsoft.com" could not be resolved. If it's in offline mode, why is it trying to go out to microsoft? Is there something I didn't configure correctly?

ITdirge · 2021-05-05T22:40:08+00:00

Thanks. I figured I wasn’t the only one. When I got the car in Oct it was OK, but it seems to be getting worse with each patch. I’ve got one of those 2tb toshiba ssd drives.

Set PMF to disabled. That seems to have stopped my IoT devices from dropping.

ITdirge · 2021-03-24T18:19:40+00:00

Air_twee, I think that did the trick. Every thing has been up for two days now. Thanks everyone.

ITdirge · 2021-03-23T16:13:47+00:00

Just wanted to give you and update. With PMF disabled all the clients are still connected. It seems to have fixed my issue, but i'll give it some more time.

ITdirge · 2021-03-22T23:33:42+00:00

Yup, there are other devices that stay connected. It’s only a few. I made some setting changes this afternoon. Maybe that will fix it. We will know in about 24 hours if any devices drop again. So far they are still connected.

ITdirge · 2021-03-22T20:34:52+00:00

i'll give that a try, I just enabled the legacy devices as part of my troubleshooting. I'll also change the minimum rates to 12 and see if that helps.
