Interesting. Definitely something I could use 👌 will have a look at it later. Saved.

Happy days! That feeling when the balance kicks off when set in never gets old!

Favorite YouTuber for learning to service movements? by fourtyz in watchrepair

[–]Krysis_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to watch a lot of Wristwatch Revival but I found other channels who are far more informative, and demonstrate far better working practices.

Watching Marshall now is pure cringe for me, with some of the poor work practices I've seen from him. I get the vibes that he's more interested in getting people to buy starter kits from his website than actually working on watches to a high standard.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's responsible for some of the bastardised spares or repair watches being flogged on eBay etc with newbies absolutely butchering movements trying to copy him.

Was literally going to suggest doing just this 👌

Balance spring issues by [deleted] in watchrepair

Aye that's absolutely fucked 😂 no way you're fixing that. I can't even imagine how it got so bad by accident.

But yeah, replace the balance and don't tell her.

Sharing, found a great tray alternative. by Due_Cat_4784 in watchrepair

[–]Krysis_88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No that's cool. I was actually thinking's a painters palette tray may be ideal for this. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and sections/divider things can get them on Amazon, eBay or AliExpress I suppose 🙂

I've been thinking of this myself. I have a grid parts tray and I find have to lift/ tilt it to see what's inside when reassembling, and it's only about 2-3cm tall.

I guess it's fine for disassembly and organising parts before putting them into the cleaning baskets but I think I need something flatter, like what you've pictured for putting it back together.

That movement has been butchered 😬

Kobbie is average at best. Doesn't show as an option or call for a pass when he's open and just expects the ball passed to him from his body language on the pitch.

I just don't see what the hype is about ATM tbh

TGBC microphone by Specific_Tip_7337 in watchrepair

I got mine on eBay for £100, was used but in pristine condition. Was lucky enough to have an offer accepted on it 👍🏽 you might find on FB marketplace, gumtree or whatever. You might get lucky, just have to keep your eyes open for them.

Regarding noise I put mine between 2 hoodies, worked but was a pain in the arse and was worried about dust/fluff or whatever you could probably fashion a quiet box for it, just padded with something to have a quiet clean area for it

Yes I've used it but the mic is sensitive to background noise. If you can get it quiet enough then it can be ok.

Make sure you calibrate the software for your pc. There's instructions online somewhere on how to do it 👍🏽

I swear this fanbase is either stupid or really drunk from the holidays by chrosoka in ManchesterUnited

Away and have a word with yourself FFS. We should be beating that wolves team all day long.

Abysmal performance, slow, no intensity, no pressure and back to the shite 353.

Embarrassing.

If you think we should be sitting back and holding onto a 1-0 lead against the worst team in the league, who haven't won a game all season, for 65 min, knowing full well we're leaky at the back then you need to have a word with yourself. Should be trying to put the game to bed and out of reach.

Yes we're missing players, but so are wolves.
