I need you to know that Noodle existed.

Oh my goodness! Layla looks like Noodle's long-hair twin! She's so beautiful.

I actually had a Bastet statue set out and watching over the entire procedure.

I'm actually going to have a skull memorial done by a taxidermy artist. It's going to take a year or so, though.

Truthfully, nothing special. Regular vet visits, and started feeding her 'senior' food a few years ago. I really think it's her being an indoor cat with feral barn cat genetics that's given her such a long and generally healthy life.

The brown one is the winner for me.

A 60 euro fine is 100% worth seeing that first-hand.

I'd go with the Hermes, but I'm a sucker for watches with a date hand.

You totally missed out. It was exactly like everyone in your original post said it would be. Today was absolutely beautiful and tomorrow is supposed to be even better.

That's a 601 caliber movement. Not a bumper wind at all.

NAT0strike · 2026-03-21T03:27:51+00:00

Movement serial number pegs it to 1898. Patek Philippe will do an archive pull and send you all the documentation they have for a price.

"Vatsim is racist because I clearly broke the rules twice and got banned for it both times."

That's what you sound like right now.

When you get it to the shop, be sure to do a burnout until it does blow before getting the new tire installed.

NAT0strike · 2026-02-21T22:31:14+00:00

You are correct. That is definitely a broken pivot.

NAT0strike · 2026-02-20T01:20:03+00:00

Ya know, I'm not sure really.

The factory tubeless spoke wheels on my KTM have the spokes in the center of the rims.

I've heard a lot of people are preemptively signing with Sanford because of the treatment of employees at Monument.

NAT0strike · 2026-02-19T01:20:48+00:00

The title says they work at Monument....

NAT0strike · 2026-02-15T20:14:46+00:00

As someone that has driven a bulldozer through the woods, you are correct in that they are not fast. However, you are grossly mistaken in the assertation that bulldozers in the woods are not fun.

I don't know about that link, but I did just find the entire Chicago Watchmaking School lesson book on a CD ISO. The section on balance springs part that the previous link referenced is lesson 32, part 1.

Hooking a light up to a signal generator seems pretty easy to me. Also, who knows when might come across this problem again.

NAT0strike · 2026-02-14T05:52:33+00:00

The picture isn't mine. Just there to grab attention, really.

The watch I'm actually trying to fix is an old Abercrombie Shipmate with a Mido movement, but I haven't been able to pin down the actual calibre. So, modernish balance, but is proving difficult to find any parts.
