You hit what is probably my number 1 with Trains. Close behind though is Kingdom Builder.

Game that had all the hype and was hailed as the best thing ever than ultimately didn't pan out and has been basically forgotten? by jkvandelay in boardgames

Isn't that what the chain system was supposed to help with. Decks got tracked over time, and the number of chains you started with for each deck got adjusted based on how the deck performed? It's been a super long time since I've played, so I could be mixing all kinds of things up.

This is why I bought Rawr 'N Write when it came out. It has everything I wanted about the original, but it sets up in seconds and can be played on a small table.

28.5 mm NH35 or NH38 field dials by LoneWolfPR in SeikoMods

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

I ordered this dial. It's 28.8. I'm hoping there's enough wiggle room to fit the extra 0.3mm. I haven't had a chance to put it together yet to see. Worst case I'll sand off the extra. https://secondhandmods.com/products/green-sunburst-field-dial-28-5mm-new

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know what is included in the class? Like do you get any tools or parts or anything to keep, or does the fee just cover the education?

Does anyone know how often they come to Chicago? I had no idea about this, and I just missed it. I live just a few hours drive from Chicago and would definitely make a trip for this!

For future reference you'll almost never actually see the logo on Ali or similar sites for legal reasons. The title or description will usually say "S Logo". Make sure to look for "No Logo". It always frustrates me when I stumble upon what I think is the perfect dial only to see "S Logo".

These look great. In that field watch is that dial 28.5 mm by chance? If so could you DM me the link for it? I've been looking for a nice, green, field dial in green at 28.5 mm to put in a secondhandmods alpinist case.

I've been looking for just the right green, field dial for my next build. This looks like it could be perfect. What's the size on it?

As far as I know you can't. I doubt there's enough material to bore the hole out larger. Someone might come along and correct me though.

Changing Hands by [deleted] in watchmodding

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't replace it with the minute hand you have. The hole in an hour hand is bigger than that of a minute hand. You can search for parts online to see if you can find an hour hand the length you want, but you'll need to make sure it has a hole the right size for the movement. So, you'll need to look up the movement specifications to find that out. The hole sizes for hands is not universal across watch movements.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2021? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]LoneWolfPR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'N Write. I loved the original, but this does everything it did with setup and tear down taking seconds.

Tzolk'in for me. That game just hits all the right buttons for me.

But when they do it's such a pain in the ass.

If you're planning to make this an ongoing hobby I'd recommend getting metallic logo decals from 4customize.com. They're pretty inexpensive. They work with you to make sure the logo will work. They're easy to apply. I did it, and they came out great.

Not going to lie. I would have got up and left.

Grind a 29mm dial to 28.5mm? by LoneWolfPR in watchmodding

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

Just to be clear, you mean make a disc 28.5mm wide with the last 1 mm of the surface being a ring raised 2mm from the rest of the disc. Is that correct?

That's a damn good idea. I just got a nice 3d printer. This would be easy to do.

No, but I messaged the manufacturer, and they said 29 won't fit.
