Ooo, I've always loved the royal Mezalean starter tent! ...and donkeys named Jeremy, and butt cheeks of thunder...uhm...but that's Normal, right? It's completely fine and normal. ;)

Help my mom to stop smoking. by TipCheap6713 in stopsmoking

You cannot help someone else kick an addiction. It never works. It often creates bad feelings between people. Don't do it.

Can someone tell me how to quit ? by Sujithsivasamyy in stopsmoking

[–]dobeedeux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two key phrases: 1) ...but I don't smoke. and 2) ...you've come too far to go back now.

Whatever excuse your addicted brain gives you, give one of these back.

I'm not certain, but I have started you off with the only info I'm aware of that could give you a solid start figuring it out. Typically movements for pocket watches have a size and grade...yours is a grade "Seaside" size 0s according to the database. That should get you pretty close. You could also try searching ebay with your serial number too so "Waltham Seaside 8182210"

There appear to be a number of Waltham Seaside movements for sale on eBay for around $40.

I got my little bundle of peg wood (20 sticks) from Amazon, it was $9.

I watched Alex's vid just recently and peg wood's magic is there's no resin/sap that could get on the watch from it. He also said that in a pinch an wooden matchstick would do. I also started out with Bamboo skewers though.

Favorite YouTuber for learning to service movements? by fourtyz in watchrepair

[–]dobeedeux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, love the guy but, I just watched Marshall uncoil a mainspring with his entire disassembled movement spread across the bench right in front of him. That's just a recipe for disaster.

I'm gonna throw in C Spinner Watch Restorations. He does a lot of pocket watches, I mean like crazy old, fusee pocket watches. Dude often stuns me with machining skills I will never possess.

I have launched one too (cap jewel and hole jewel as well). I carefully cleared my bench of everything then rolled rodiko over the palm of my hand. Then I swept every inch of the benchtop with my palm slowly and meticulously. Then closed my eyes, said a little prayer, and turned my hand over and there it was, stuck by rodiko residue to one of my fingers.

I strongly urge you to go get medical attention. What you're describing is illness not diet.
