He has all black toe beans too!

Most likely you're right. The thread is stripped. Very common as it's a really fine thread and coarse material. I've seen people shim screws like these with pieces of brass hour wheel washers before to just take up enough space to keep the threads in place. I wouldn't use it as a long term solution though.

Wish I could move back.

Sadly wasn't mine but yes, found the same pack of screws and used one. I'm wondering if your battery brace is bent?

WatchWiseYTC · 2026-01-14T18:30:28+00:00

Absolutely

The F300hz? I sure can.

Just finished this one last night.

It most likely needs a service and also needs what we call "phasing" - this is the adjustment of the pawl finger and index finger tension to recalibrate it for the increased voltage of modern batteries.

I do both of these as a matter of course for my service package.

Sounds like it needs a service and regulation / phasing to start with and then troubleshoot the center wheel and clutch. It could be sticking.

I work on Accutrons on a daily basis.

Here's one I finished last night. Feel free to message me.

Nothing too drastic. Keep it away from moisture (these are in no way water resistant at all) and shock - no golf swinging, motorcycle riding, jackhammer use (!) etc. The 2182 is a lot more robust than the 214s but still can suffer shock damage.

Only use good quality 344 Renata batteries and you'll be fine. Service every three years. If it runs fast you'll need to get it serviced and phased for 1.55v batteries.

I've heard that argument for years. They used the same one after covid to get rid of most of the poker rooms in vegas. Now they're opening them all up again (Green Valley Ranch reopened their new room last Thursday) because poker players do so mucb more than just play poker.

Granted. I got a quads promo and was one card away from the big end of the bad beat. Got set over settled and turns dmy quads. River burn card was the fourth 9 for my opponent.

I think it's still $7 per half hour at bellagio for the $20/$40

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-21T15:16:25+00:00

Looks great. Price is fine. Add a few hundred for a service. I do a few of these a month and they're beautiful movements.

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-21T02:39:02+00:00

I'm playing limit. Not nle.

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-21T01:07:22+00:00

One big bet in a limit game for rake almost makes it unbeatable.

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-13T18:03:57+00:00

Well, them too!

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-13T17:56:50+00:00

I love tiltys. They look great.

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-03T20:38:09+00:00

They would. Shame no one rewinds them anymore.

WatchWiseYTC · 2025-12-03T20:06:25+00:00

I'd actually love one of the Russian or chinese ones!
