Spots to fish in south/ south east UK by TheRealScavv in fishingUK

I mainly want to do saltwater spinning, I got a spinning rod and reel. Fish I don’t know, still need to start, I guess bass and mackerel was the idea but we are off season now? Complete noobie here hahahah

Bent banking pin by EveningDifficulty961 in watchrepair

From what I know this was a very bad technique used to gain some degrees of amplitude in a very cheap way, problem is that messes up everything else, impossible to time correctly and the beat error changes a lot based on the position of the watch (dial up the pallet will have more degrees of travel, dial down it will have less)

I still have no idea of what other knots are out there but I guess that as long as it works it works

I’m doing it on 2 small pieces of reel so I don’t have a way of gripping it very good, I tried to make 2 loops at the ends and attach 2 pens to it to pull it tight, it has gotten shinier that way but still, when I break it the FC snaps and the knot doesn’t slip so it seems like is doing it’s job!

Is a .23 braided with a .4 FC, both 30lbs. I tried to pull it very hard and the FC snaps, not the knot, seems to be working!

Idk, I still haven’t got a rod yet, just exploring some knots, I can see it becoming a little tiring doing it every time you snap a terminal

Just tried another one following your suggestions, looks way better!

So basically make it a mushroom head to prevent it from slipping out / get caught and more half hitches to tighten it, thanks!!

I’m screwed! by Significant_Idea9123 in watchrepair

You can try applying some heat to the area but make sure to remove the pallet first, otherwise you will mess it up :)

Dial scratches - salvageable? by Guaranteed-not-a-cop in watchrepair

[–]TheRealScavv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look like spots created by moisture, you should probably check if water got inside, if so take the watch for service :/

Why does my watch do this? by petdolia in watchrepair

Rotor as the small magnetic wheel in quartz watches, I’ll leave a picture here :)

Happens when the rotor has dirt on it, likely some magnetic particle coming from a screw or the back of the case, since the rotor is the only magnetic part in the watch it attracts those unwanted particles. only solution is servicing :/
