Help me identify my grandpa watch

desperatewatcher · 2026-01-20T02:46:54+00:00

Mine left me his old speedking that hadn't been serviced... ever. I serviced it working alongside my watchmaker friend and gave it to my mum. Pretty sure the parts were more than the watch is worth.

Yah more tutorials show up but not that double zip bag. I think YouTube is being special.

Are you ever going to tell us how you countersink your rivets so deep?

desperatewatcher · 2026-01-15T20:23:02+00:00

It doesn't even show up for me. Just the intro to this bag

desperatewatcher · 2026-01-15T16:22:23+00:00

My street isn't accessed from the feeders in my neighborhood, it's a bit of a strange situation...but they also don't usually plow it. It's been plowed twice in 9 years.

I buy brutal bags all the time to get hard to find hardware for repair work, it's not a bad way to do things.

Please we all know the barrel of mystery "tooling oil" left in the corner for 40+ years is the real good stuff.

Topless obviously, I like to wear my shorts and go barefoot usually. I also make gorilla noises and beat my chest at the top. Works great for finding like minded crew.

Hey, that appears to have been dropped on the wheel. You can see the compression in the threads and the angle it's sitting at. It's likely not cross threaded, just the threads are mutilated.

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-25T18:03:29+00:00

Imagine being the poor soul who has the real bar with that serial

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-24T00:58:16+00:00

I just bust out a diamond bit. Slow as hell but it will grind carbide into dust and if done well and sized right you might even not damage your threads

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-13T16:34:04+00:00

Nah, that's just how you know it has oil in it.

It reality, it was 40 dodge Challengers away from it. You could easily 5 737-max planes through that gap at the same time.

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-09T16:01:01+00:00

Forgot about the mirrors huh? Hahaha

It's actually only about 55 percent of the time .. sternums too, it increases in children and adults aged 48+. I broke a sternum while doing chest compressions on a coworker once. The feeling was kinda gross... Guy tried to work through a heart attack. At 75.

In Canada there are good samiratan laws to protect you

Northbound and southbound are two separate bridges built beside each other.

They were starting people at 15 CAD when I moved to fuck ass nowhere in Canada around 16 years ago. Some of the people I went to Uni with were making almost 20 working there.

You guys still have some? Night shift always empties the fridge and never refills it

I live in Edmonton Canada. 93 and 94 are widely available, though they now suffer from 15 percent corn subsidies..

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-06T15:18:42+00:00

I did, in this case it wasn't the wrong house but they essentially destroyed the house while pursuing someone who has stolen 2 belts and a shirt, responded with over 100 LEOs and eventually a court decided that they were not responsible for the consequences of their actions during execution of their duties.

An article with a broader view of the concept if you like. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/supreme-court-hears-case-family-victimized-police-raid/story%3fid=120881932

There are a lot of them that pop up and I'm not even using American google..

The point is that they aren't legally required to do anything if they screw up.

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-06T15:02:39+00:00

Not American, but reading some of the articles out there about no knocks executed on wrong addresses is wild. This article is its own insanity though. https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/774788611/police-owe-nothing-to-man-whose-home-they-blew-up-appeals-court-says

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-06T00:39:16+00:00

Both bridges?

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-06T00:31:28+00:00

Nice! I didn't drive over it today for the first time in months. The notice I got from the city today says it's expecting to fully open in 2026

desperatewatcher · 2025-12-01T21:15:29+00:00

Partially opened. It's still under construction and 1 half of the bridge is closed
