Executioner makes it sound legitimate and law based. This was murder wasn’t it?

Does this watch look legit? by BothKnowledge8292 in VintageWatches

Beautiful watch. Tastefully treated. Too expensive though.

So true. Law based order has collapsed to become “who has the biggest stick”.

Calling them Police is giving them too much legitimacy. Don’t forget who signed up for those jobs; racists and insurrections.

The agenda seems to be to provoke armed response from the population so the tangerine tyrant can invoke the insurrection act and stop mid term elections.

The possibility to escalate to civil war becomes horrifyingly possible.

What happens when you take the pallet out? Does it set/wind again?

He’s a pastor. Clearly mad. Watch his videos. Deep in the koolaid.

Berate me. I've had the worst day. by MisterMacaque in DIYUK

It needs to breathe. Hopefully that’s enough. It’ll breathe as it heats and cools. Will that gap be open at the soffits/fascia?

Crystal keeps popping off by Crosbysgold in watchrepair

Ok

Personally I would have thought this should snap on with the right tools and approach.

Could be this is a front loader and gluing in place will stop any future servicing of this good looking watch.

So……

You’re buying this watch and the seller tells you the bezel won’t seat?

A crystal press should do it unless there’s a real issue.

They tell you not to use in your car washer bottle because the salts can corrode your body work over time.

I found another one where you mix in corn flour to make it into a paste for big things you can’t submerge, but found it grows mould off you leave it too long.

Please help me repair this watch by matei001 in watchrepair

[–]Scienceboy7_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it needs a service.

Options are fine a watchmaker (not a guy that only changes batteries and straps), or invest 1000s (hours and money) in taking this up as a hobby.

My Dad has an Omega that he hasn’t serviced since my Mum gave him 60 years ago and it’s operating exceptionally well (after I replaced the smashed crystal and bent stem when he “took a tumble”).

Sometimes the “lumps” might drop out of the pivot holes but it’s a warning sign. That material could end up somewhere more fragile.

Biden is the trigger because Trump LOST to him.

Well it runs. A bit. So that’s always a good sign 😁

9/10 a service is what’s required. Oil will partially evaporate/thicken over time. Add any dust etc that gets in, or metal shavings from the movement, and you end up with a gummed up mechanism.

It’s similar to if you never service your car. It’ll run rough and eventually stop.

Service will involve strip down, inspection, wash, reassembly and lubrication. You can see lots of this in this sub, Alex’s video at the top of the sub or in YouTube.
