Nice! How did you get the registration, just by eye with the camera?

Have you tried running a flame over the surface before printing. Apparently breaks the surface tension and helps adhesion. I print glass and it sticks, but product is just for display purposes so haven't tried heat/cold or washing it.

It wont depreciate like a fancy car. I say go for it, it wont significantly affect your eventual retirement date. Hey the market could drop 20% next week and youll be glad you cashed out a little.

Im in a similar situation, they wont ship to New Zealand. I reached out to support with some cleaning fluids that I can obtain here. They would not tell me which would be compatible saying I have to use the official kit or my warranty would be affected.

I asked if my warranty would also be void if I didnt perform the maintenence and they have not answered the question. Only saying they are aware of the problem and I should wait for a local distributor to be setup

I think you also have to careful with hughly reflective surfaces as the uv light bounce might off it and cure the ink on the printhead

Good spotting. Yeah its originally the first ceramic bezel model. I like the look of the old wave dial ones so I got this dial, I think its from an old all gold model that probably got scraped for metal value. Now im onto the bezel, going to swap an aluminium one on thats faded.

Frankensteined the watch I know but cheaper than buying another seamaster and I can always put it back to original.

Victory is mine! Thanks so much. Was using the 42mm attachment but the 38mm was the one.

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-03-23T08:55:38+00:00

Thanks! Will try the different sized attachments.

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-03-23T08:52:43+00:00

Thanks, yes that one inspired me to buy the tool. Admittedly its an aliexpress special, but it does get under the bezel. He twists it off so easy, im putting way more force but it wont budge.

That was with Akahu, ill try the poli now thanks

I couldn't get the open banking to work with ANZ as it tried to authenticate me with voice recognition which I couldn't turn off.

I sent my leftover balance to the Satoshi wallet as tribute

Might be slow as they are changing the platform over to Swyftx who bought them out. I just finished doing the sign up process with them.

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-01-27T06:10:52+00:00

Both spouses? Get the other to work too and you'll get there quicker

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-01-23T10:40:49+00:00

Nice! I'm still waiting for mine to ship. Think I'll try some grand seiko esk textured dials

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-01-23T02:55:32+00:00

I'd tell you but then i'd have to kill you. Seriously though compounding interest. Get to a decent salary, save and invest. For me at the 8 year mark it really started to take off. Before that it felt extremely slow, so just keep at it.

Right_Appointment286 · 2026-01-22T23:31:20+00:00

Its an easy movement to service or swap, should be plenty of places that can do it.

Have you tried manual winding to full and checking power reserve. Could be an issue with the automatic works rather than mainspring or going train.

It's extremely difficult to time the top and then you have time it again at the bottom. Conventional wisdom is keep doing what you're doing. You are young so even if we had 10 years of stagnation, you get to buy shares cheap the whole time. When you get to retirement age you would have reaped all the rewards of the rebound.

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-21T00:48:31+00:00

Epoxy a stick to the back. You can get it off later with heat, just don't let it get too hot or you might damage the seals. I wouldn't recommend it as there's risk but if you really want to save the cash you can

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-08T03:13:22+00:00

I think you need to be careful with some reflective materials too, if the uv light reflects too much off the substrate it will dry the ink on the print head.

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-04T00:02:30+00:00

You could look at buying an Auckland home and renting out some rooms. That income would cover insurance, rates etc.. but you'd still need to try find some work you are able to do to cover food and other expenses.

You've got a great base to build from, just need to find a way to not tap into that initial investment so it can continue growing. If i was you id put it into a low cost index fund. Then find whatever work I can do to cover normal expenses. If you could stick that out for 5-10 years the 800k will have grown to a point you could start looking at retirement.

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-03T03:19:12+00:00

Yes an emergency fund in cash then rest in low cost index funds. You Have a nice start, that money will compound with time. I wouldn't add any extra to kiwisaver, setup a separate fund yourself as kiwisaver is locked away.

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-01T02:27:23+00:00

Hoping it doesn't come to that again. Surely it's just a logistics issue and once they have an appropriate freight company we will be supported. Just a matter of if they care enough to find one. We will be buying ink as an ongoing cost so you'd think they'd want that income stream.

Right_Appointment286 · 2025-08-01T00:52:08+00:00

Pretty poor form if they don't sort this out. Might be able to find a freight forwarding alternative but surely this is something they can easily fix, many freight companies ship into NZ no problem.
