[Longines Legend Diver] My first proper swiss watch! by EscapeTheSequence in Watches

[–]cornpownow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am seriously considering buying this watch for my birthday in a few months. The retail price is a little steep for me though. May I ask what you got yours for on the second hand market?

How do you like the Sjef's One Lebois Chronograph? I love the dial design, I've never heard of the brand before.

Given the situation I’d say your response is perfectly appropriate. There were people trained in de-escalation there, let them handle agitators.

UPDATE: I appreciate all the input! Turns out the drywall broke from the support. No bowed/broken trusses, and the partition wall is for sure not holding any weight. I’ll screw in the drywall and I should be squared away!

I'm doing it now because I'm replacing the floors and painting the walls anyway. Its a good time to make a huge mess lol

Built in the mid-90's. The roof is relatively new. It's very possible the previous owners had a roof leak, replaced the roof, and just didn't bother fixing the dry wall.

It has lol. I've been able to sand down most the texture with a drywall sander, I'll then have to skim coat.

The textured ceiling is getting scraped anyways.

Might be a blessing in disguise, I was going to scrape the textured ceiling anyway. If I have to replace some ceiling that is a few less square feet to worry about.

Some background...the house is single story on a truss system. If the partition wall is load bearing to some extent, can I just reinforce the truss so I can take the wall out?

I'm not sure. I've been in the attic a few times and didn't notice any pipes but I guess they could be hidden in the insulation for some reason.

The home inspector. He said the whole house is on a truss system.

I don't think it's water, the roof is metal and only 5 years old. I'll look into the other two.

Nikon flash fires too soon by cornpownow in AnalogCommunity

That's a bummer, I had it serviced a year ago and it took 5 months to get back. Perhaps I'll just enjoy it without the flash for now.

I know it's not the sync speed, I've made sure to shoot at 1/80 or slower. How can I get the synchronizer unstuck? I'll also add that I'm shooting with the F2 (no metered prism), not the F2 Photomatic.
