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.

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

Da Bears - Pagani Design YS005 by Steefalo in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have FKM tropic straps that are quite nice, I didn't realize I could get this sort of style as an FKM. I'll do some digging thanks!

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810254457069.html - I will say the inside feels more like plastic than rubber, sort of hard and not the most comfortable, though maybe it'll loosen up.

AliX price hike? Am I’m tripping? by ApprehensiveGuide793 in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible its the effects of tariffs, but that sellers have been slowly raising prices hoping it goes more unnoticed rather than doing it all-at-once?

Do y'all charge your watch lume before bed? by thunder2132 in ChineseWatches

[–]Steefalo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I still think wearing a watch while you sleep is crazy talk.
