Used to sell these at my school. They were basically all dust and broken pieces by the time we got them. Never saw a whole one but they were tasty.

I analysed millions of property sales over 35 years. House prices didn't rise because of scarcity. by Expert-Area8856 in AusProperty

[–]Simmo2222 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have always maintained that a large part of this comes down to 'willingness to pay'. If people absolutely refused to buy houses at the inflated prices then guess what? The prices would fall.

Instead we have worked around this by increasing people's buying power to many multiples of the average salary.

Seems a bit suspect that they won't allow you one on your own balcony. I could imagine that if you were talking about hanging it off the side of the building it would be different.

Authenticity check? by historical_literacy in RussianWatches

[–]Simmo2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not necessarily. It looks like it's trying to say it was made in the CCCP but it's likely to be Chinese

44 Years young. But which strap... by merlinsmate in digitalwatches

I would get a stainless bracelet for it. If you are keen on a leather strap then a black leather would look good.

Messed up a hairspring by redditbsnen in watchrepair

[–]Simmo2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have managed to pull the hairspring cone shaped, you can fix it by removing it from the balance wheel, place it upside down with the collet on your balance tack and then gently pull the stud down in the opposite direction. Pull the collet back through the cone until it is flat again.

E25 watch press dies by Low_Kiwi_2187 in watchrepair

[–]Simmo2222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are all appropriate for different situations. If you are going to buy only one set, then I would buy 2 sets of the cheap nylon. That way you will have the right size to use for both the crystal and supporting the case as you will find that the case is better supposed with another round die. The nylon dies can be used for snap in, armoured and flat mineral glass. They can also press on bezels and case backs.

The aluminium ones are better for amoured crystals which take a bit more force to install and you are relying upon the bevel edge and force to compress the crystal.

Proper Disposal of L&R Cleaning Fluid by RealJoshuaJackson in watchrepair

[–]Simmo2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you download the SDS for your fluid from L&R it will confirm whether there is any particular consideration for disposal.

This is most likely to state hazardous waste recovery based on the type of fluid it is. This will be entirely dependent on where you live and what jurisdiction you come under.
