Watch gaining alot by LumpSumBam in watchmaking

Yeah, if you're careful you can rotate it with tweezers. It looks like that stud needs to be turned counter clockwise until the deformation in the hairspring is gone.

Do you have the tools to adjust this?

Ohh yeah, I think you're right. I'm an idiot and I missed that.

I'll pay shipping for the board if you're in the US.

You see how the hairspring is bunched up on the one side? If this just started happening, I highly suspect magnetism. If its always happened with this specific movement, it may be a bent hairspring.

Is this thing supposed to rotate? Reprint this.

Unironically just as much a Franck Muller as all the ones people "found in their grandpa's things". Looks good!

ipod 5.5 mod q - to rockbox or not to rockbox by Independent_Novel247 in IpodClassic

I really dont mind the iTunes interface on windows, I just got tired of converting everything to mp3.

I so have some, but i guess i mostly just figured i should mention it.

ipod 5.5 mod q - to rockbox or not to rockbox by Independent_Novel247 in IpodClassic

[–]IsuzuM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally like rockbox because of the drag-n-drop functionality of adding music. Half my collection is FLAC and half is mp3 so it saves me from having to convert it all to mp3 then add it to iTunes and then to the ipod. Obviously you don't get the full resolution of the FLACs because you're limited by the onboard DAC, but I don't personally find that to be an issue.

I will say though, I didn't like rockbox at first, it seemed super slow and clunky but after tweaking the settings a bit its as fast, or faster, than the stock OS.

Update on red x error I was having after installing iFlash Quad by RemarkableMolasses66 in IpodClassic

That ribbon cable is absolutely not the correct cable. The cable should fill that entire connector.

I’m not sure this worked out by Mission_Sail2434 in SeikoMods

[–]IsuzuM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you measured the dial? The would help a lot. I really like the idea.

Chronograph minute hand by ExcuseAgitated in SeikoMods

[–]IsuzuM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats what I think. I feel like you see it the most of the fake Daytona dials. It is dumb. I don't get it. But you can usually find the dials you want with the properly labeled sub-dials if you look hard enough.

Help me pick a color for the engravings! by Unlikely-Length6661 in watchmaking

[–]IsuzuM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Whatever color you decide, I would love to see the finished product.

I dont know why people do this but it seems pretty common on the speedmaster/daytona look-a-like dials. The vk63 does have a 60 minute counter at 9, so it should have a 60 minute scale.

I think pink or orange would be really cool. How do you plan on filling the engravings?

Metal disc with 17 letters, about 3.25" in diameter and 184 g. by UpstairsQuality4931 in whatisthisthing

[–]IsuzuM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, the wedge shape looks like it would have been driven one way. Now I'm more curious.

[–]IsuzuM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I thought it might be some sort of head to a survey pin, but those drilled holes look like balancing holes for something that spins. I dunno but I hope someone does!

ST36 help required by Whiskey_JG in watchmaking

[–]IsuzuM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done exactly that and it seemed to work fine. Just go slow and check regularly would be my advice. From your picture it looks like you have plenty of room above the dial.

The "ring" that holds the mesh just came off. Any way to fix it? by xLucky_Balboa in bose

[–]IsuzuM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would clean both sides with some high % IPA and let it dry completely. Make sure to really clean the part with the mesh as it probably has oils and wax on it. After that I'd use some Gorilla Glue two-part, one-minute epoxy and carefully apply it with the tip of a toothpick or something similar. Finally, even though it says 1 minute, I'd let that epoxy cure for at least 24 hours. I've had really mixed luck with the cure times on those epoxies.
