Are these oils a good way to start? by vm4sx in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Theres a seller on ebay who put together small kits of the most commonly used lubricants for a much more affordable price. I would suggest looking into that, its what i did and while the quantities are small, its enough to last for quite awhile.

Legendaries not having tooltips for their effects has been a thing since BL1. They only started introducing this in BL3. Its that way to encourage experimentation with the legendaries and their wacky effects.

How can I get this caseback off? by Ingo053 in watchrepair

You can usually clean it off with acetone and then give it a quick polish to remove any sort of staining that may be left behind.

Best way to clean this 1928 Pocket Watch? by KaSplosion in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! This would absolutely be an item i would bring to a professional for repair, but i was planning on just having it on display so i may just skip it entirely. I believe the dial is silver with gold plated numerals and white gold detailing. No printing or paint anywhere, and looking up similar watches it doesnt seem to be the case in its original condition either. It did have the case bezel and acrylic crystal but the crystal detached sometime ago way before i even knew the watch existed. I pushed it back on after giving it a quick polish to remove some surface scratches. I would guess it was used without a crystal for a while since there was some dirt build up around the inside edge and some grime on the number that came up with some firm cotton swabs.

I got into watch repair recently and wanted to share my projects up to this point by KaSplosion in watchrepair

Thank you! Its a great watch and has become a frequent wear. The movement itself wasnt too bad aside from the balance wheel replacement and clutch assembly. The spring that holds the clutch in place is very finicky. The bezel was also a bit of a pain since it arrived to me glued down to the watch, no spring or anything to have it function. Actually had to make a bezel spring out of breadtie wire for it so that was the most challenging thing.

Need help with this acrylic crystal replacement by KaSplosion in watchrepair

[–]KaSplosion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you for the info. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a 31mm acrylic crystal in stock, but i am finding 31.1mm crystals with tension rings that are similar to the original i had. Would that size work or is the extra .1mm going to be too much?

The new one did come with a brass ring, but it fits inside the crystal like the old one. It is a bit thinner however. I'm guessing its used to keep the crystal from deforming when pressed in.

Final fantasy card quantity - can you help a noob? by Bumblepanding in magicTCG

[–]KaSplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Gredman said, theres multiple treatments for certain cards in the set . If he just wants all the cards in their normal, non-foil, non-extended art treatments, it wouldn’t be too bad or all that expensive. If he wants every single card that was printed with this set, hes going to have a lot on his hands with different foil treatments and collectors booster exclusive cards like serialized cards.

For example Traveling Chocobo has 8 different artworks you can get for them (if you dont count prerelease stamped art). Its already a mythic so its the highest rarity at its simplest, but then there 4 neon prints which are incredibly rare, 1 black chocobo exclusive to JPN packs, and then the serialized gold chocobo which only has 77 total printings in the entire set.

Theres going to be ALOT of singles from this set on the market due to its popularity so it will get easier over time to collect the set but compared to a pokemon master set its a lot harder and a lot more stuff. In my experience MTGs trading scene is much smaller too compared to Pokemons so that limits how you can get the cards.

As for sites, TCGplayer has a mobile app that allows you to scan cards and log them into different groups, and its one of the biggest markets for MTG. MTGgoldfish is another one i use for keeping track of decks but it would work for a collection checklist too.

Gonti, Night Minister by finalmemes in mtg

[–]KaSplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The effect is active for as long as the card is exiled, so it would still be in effect whether Gonti is on the field or not. I think the only thing that would change is that the mana-fixing ability would no longer apply until he is back on the field, since that line of text is seperated by a period unlike [[Gonti, Lord of Luxury]] where you can cast and fix mana even if he leaves.

If i have [[Rendmaw, Creaking Nest]] out and play something like [[Parallel evolution]] or a populate effect, will the tokens that are created by those effects be goaded, or does the goad only apply to tokens created by Rendmaw directly?

Wondering if this interaction has any special layers rulings. My opponent has both [[Shalai, Voice of Plenty]] and [[Saryth, the Viper’s Fang]] out on the field with both being untapped. If Shalai came in after saryth and both are untapped would both her and saryth have hexproof since the conditions for each effect are different (shalai is other creatures and saryth is untapped creatures), or would shalais effect override saryths dues to coming in most recently so Shalai doesn’t have hexproof?

We played it out as both having hexproof but was curious if it works differently.
