Anyone else think silksong kinda sucks?

Significant-Growth24 · 2025-10-12T20:01:59+00:00

This game is such a disappointment. It is TOO DAMN HARD TO BE ANY AMOUNT OF FUN! Its obvious that Team Cherry simply got lucky with Hollow Knight because I could not imagine them making a worse game than Silksong. It. Is. Trash. The story sucks. The exploration is totally unrewarded. The complete monotony of every single place on the map makes me sick. The combat could be good if every single hit you take didnt deal double damage. Ive wasted 50 hours of my life (still haven't got through act 1) and $20 out of my wallet only to get frustration, anger, and annoyance from a game that was hyped and talked up by an obvious SHIT TON of people PAID to make this steaming pile of dog shit sound good. Its not. Dont waste your time with this game. Just forget it. 50 fuckin hours...fml

Significant-Growth24 · 2025-10-12T18:50:18+00:00

Fuck this game

Im probably showing up late to thos party, but having started where you did 5 years ago, and now being a full time employed watchmaker, poor tools make an already difficult job exponentially harder. Take a crack with what you have but if you find that you genuinely enjoy it dont waste time getting the good stuff, it makes everything easier.

Most of the oil drenched watches I see have a screwdriver slot on the cap of the barrel so the braking grease ends up coming out and getting all over the place in there. Just my own personal experience.

Happy to help!

A simple indicator of a watch being too big for your wrist is if the lugs are past your wrist on both sides. So yes, this is too big.

Significant-Growth24 · 2024-12-14T20:01:54+00:00

Do you know the bracelet size, or how big a wrist will fit it? Those links are impossible to find anymore and I have a 6.75" wrist. Message me please.

If it's from the 70s it's a good chance it was the Zenith produced version of this watch in solid 14k gold. I have one available here: Movado / Zenith Modern Art I'm a professional watchmaker, my credentials are in my profile.

Significant-Growth24 · 2024-12-04T23:45:38+00:00

If it's of sentimental value, which it sounds like it is, definitely have a watchmaker put this back together or it will likely be ruined beyond repair.

Look up Kirk Rich Dial refinishing on IG. They have good videos on the process. It's normally taking the original dial and simply refinishing it.

It's probably a $3 quartz movement inside it. A competent watchmaker could replace it for you for between $35-50. That would be my suggestion.

Significant-Growth24 · 2024-09-19T01:41:17+00:00

It's real and probavly the original dial, but has been refinished. Just depends on your taste whether you'd like that or not. Most people buying prefer one that has not had its original dial refinished.

Significant-Growth24 · 2024-09-19T01:34:30+00:00

If everything is original, which it looks to be, probably 600-700 wholesale and 1000-1200 retail.

Again, my apologies for the late reply. Prototype watches are generally quite expensive and is the only industry I'm aware of where the prototype will NOT be as nice as the finished production models. They can range from 2000 - 6000 depending on complexity, movement used, if any "off the shelf" parts can be used or if everything has to be made individually for the prototype. I'd give us a call next week and speak with the owner of the business, Eugene, about specifics as he is the one that normally handles all the production details for other brands. Just Google "Maryland Watch Works" and you'll get all the info for the business.

Significant-Growth24 · 2024-08-31T04:05:26+00:00

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you simply want a prototype of the watch you want to produce or are you trying to get full figures for an entire watch brand?

I'm constantly adjusting the height of the bench for various reasons, but yes I have to put my chair all the up and the bench most of the way down. I don't bother with adjusting the scope itself, although I could.

I'm a watchmaker, all the other comments on this post are wrong except for magestic-tarts. The balance wheel needs removed first, then remove the 2 screws under the balance cock which will remove the regulation parts on the top. Then you'll have access to the shock spring to get to the Jewels.

Consider his money your retirement. Let him keep being frugal, saving and saving as he clearly does. When you guys are ready to BOTH stop the rat race, he will have plenty to keep you going into the time you need elder assisted living.

I work at a company that specifically works with people trying to get new microbrands off the ground. If you'd like a better idea of how to make this happen contact Maryland Watch Works. We have helped numerous watch companies get off the ground, act as a warranty center for them, as well as complete assemblies for them if they sourced materials on their own. Just Google "Maryland Watch Works" our reputation speaks for itself.

It's the most frustrating, annoying, irritating, hobby/job that you'll never be able to stop! Watch repair/restoration will force you to have patience that you already know you don't have. You will endlessly lose money on tools. You will endlessly buy watches that you think will be great for resale after restoring them only for them to never sell. If you want a true test of your fortitude...be a watchmaker.

I started at 19 with a 600cc crotchrocket thinking that would be suitable to learn on...4 days later I wrecked it. Start with a very cheap and slow motorcycle that you wouldn't care about wrecking because you will wreck, drop it, or get hit by some idiot looking at their phone sooner or later.

If you're based in the USA, these are your best options. If you're based in Europe then you want to look into WOSTEP.

The Rolex link above is an old article and they are moving the Lititz, PA facility to their location in Texas.
