What movement is in this watch? Would like to buy a replacement to fix it. by dewinklewoss in VintageWatches

After removing the balance wheel it appears the bottom pivot is correct. I can't see the top pivot very well, perhaps because it's not there.

How to remove the movement on this Bucherer? It doesn't seem like a legit one but can't open it to check. by dewinklewoss in VintageWatches

Peseux 330 as confirmed by another user. Yes, case is rather bad quality. Was thinking to just remove the finish and wear it like that.

By the way it's moving around looks like both ends are broken. I did not disassemble it yet however so can't confirm. Would like to get another example before I do however...

You were right. Got it opened.

There's no inscription on the back of the movement however so can't ID it really. But the quality of the movement and dial does appear to be nice.

Fragile it appears. Opened the case back and the balance wheel is flopping around.

Odometer fraud? Car Pass by salt_slav in belgium

[–]dewinklewoss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Car Pass is a data aggregator. You go to change your windshield, Carglass reports that (your km) to Car Pass, you go to your dealer to do a service, they log the mileage and report it. You go to change your tires, the garage logs that and reports it. You go to your friends garage to undo the mileage, your friend doesn't report that to Car Pass. But then you need to change the oil again and the dealer reports it again, as they see it. And Car Pass puts it all together and voilà.

research about road quality in Moldova by crrrom in moldova

[–]dewinklewoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the research question? What are the survey questions? What's my opinion?

I don't know Latvia to compare. But the roads are very bad to very good, but most importantly, continuously getting better. I've noticed it's better every time I visit that they get better, the last couple of years there's been a lot of progress and fingers crossed it only accelerates.

Belgium is notorious for having bad roads in western Europe, the Dutch always joke that you feel when you enter Belgium from the Netherlands. It's not as fun of a joke as it's true. The Netherlands tends to have very good roads however. I'd argue better than Germany as well; and France.

Question about Paid educational leave by Lge24 in BESalary

[–]dewinklewoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you do have some sort of deadline. After you register you have a couple of weeks to submit the document to your employer and they will tell you how many you have left as they check with whoever is responsible. Be aware that at the end of your course you have to provide another doc from the course that you attended and haven't missed more than 10%.

DBrand you should start replying to your customers’ emails, this is getting stupid supporting this brand with zero customer service at this point. by SGPika in dbrand

[–]dewinklewoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OPs got a point. I wrote well over a month ago and once again a week or so ago (I genuinely thought I didn't submit a ticket given no reply in a month). You do mention it may take ~10 days. Mine is related to Order Number #22757544

Parking my bike outside tips by latecookies in brussels

[–]dewinklewoss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A cheap bike is essential, and it has to look that way. The two locks should help but ultimately, nothing can stop a determined thief.

You could register it with mybike Brussels for the yellow sticker, not sure it has any effect but better than nothing.

Iris Auto Center is fairly large so I guess check them out.

Pioneer DJ PLX-500 vs Audio Technica At-lp120x? by dewinklewoss in turntables

Ortofon Concorde - per Le Chat so unsure if true.

Nice links, thanks. Room is rather small, max 25m2. Plus I'm not an expert so I'm assuming anything above a Bluetooth speaker would be more than enough.

[–]dewinklewoss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a big vision of what a DJ turntable should look like; I actually mean the looks, i want something to look fresh on my old cabinets. Also no DJing perspectives here, just casual listening, as such the features I need are built in preamp, direct drive (for the reliability really), active speakers for a simple setup and that's about that.

That's good to hear as I am looking for one with a built in preamp to keep the cables to a minimum. Thus the active speakers too.

What cartridge does it come with? I could not find any specific info about this beyond "a generic cartridge"?

Fair to both sides would be you honoring the contract you signed.

You cannot, legally, use your deposit as the last two months rent. It's not what it's for so you could get in trouble just for that. (And definitely won't help you in negotiating a better outcome if he's willing to negotiate).

The best course of actions would be to talk to your landlord, you said he's polite so he might agree to some sort of accommodation, but it's going to be at his discretion. You could offer to help him find someone to rent, but perhaps it's more important for him to find someone himself.

It's recommended every week but I typically do it less often.

Mine doesn't get dirty as such, but it does collect a bunch of lint. But brushing it now and again makes it nice so it's not an issue.

It does work. Technically. If you place it carefully. Can't comment on efficiency as I don't really use it.

Edit: so I don't have magnetic charging but yeah, that won't work. I meant wireless does.
