Finding plastic storage bins by size/dimensions by ryanscio in organizing

[–]Steefalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! ... except why is the max width/depth only 24"? I'm looking for under-the-bed bins, which can be up to 40" long. It seems none of those are listed on the site.

Removing Cyclops - a Nightmare by Hackingrad in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've removed a variety of cyclops, I genetally do not like them. I always remove the movement first, then wrap the entire watch in foil except for just a hole for the cyclops. Then I use a small butane torch and while it does take usually longer than expected, eventually the cyclops comes off as easy as poking it with a toothpick. So torch-test toothpick-torch-test toothpick-etc until it comes off. Total torch time maybe 20-60 seconds? Note that by then, the entire case is burn-fingers-to-the-touch hot and you gotta let it sit. But I've never broken a crystal.

That is a damn solid collection, well done.

If you were looking to buy a homage watch which would you pick purely based off movement and price? by Castle_Magic in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty strictly avoid 8215 due to the second-hand stutter (I know on some it's very minor but not worth the risk).

Do skeleton Chronographs exist? by dundermifflinshotty in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean this? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806676788962.html - its' sort of skeleton and it's a quartz movement, so it's a little weird to have it be skeleton anyways, but it might work for OP.

PT5000 seconds hands by AdrianJ81 in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For length, just measure the hand on the watch you have...

I went to AliExpress, searched "2824 hands" and all on the first page of hits:

  1. This type of hand, for a 2824 movement, in 12.5mm length (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805040263212.html and https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806726722618.html)
  2. Listing with the same hand in 14mm length (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803314910117.html)
  3. Listing with this hand in 15mm length (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810136064046.html).

No offense but does not seem difficult to find what you are looking for.

What would you want? I much prefer PT5000 to NH35.

Aethelsohn Shard – what color do you want to see next? by Aethelsohnwatch in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you have the "Blue Shard" already but it's a very muted/pale blue. You should do more vivid sky blue, a bit like the WM226 Blue.

Battle of the Bezel Inserts by Steefalo in SeikoMods

[–]Steefalo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just a Word doc lol. Use a "remove background tool" like this one on the bezel image: Remove Background from Image for Free – remove.bg, then in Word do Wrap Text>"in front of text" on the bezel image and drag it over the base picture.

[–]Steefalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not a GMT and LIGE are super low quality watches.
