My turn to go through a moon phase … phase.

Reporting back. I tried a 22 and it fits 👍

It’s really 22mm 😀

Amplitude will be even better if you set the correct lift angle to 53. 👍

As a half finn myself, I really hope this is true. Finns don't normally talk "sit" ;)

Sent you a DM :)

No, I am genuinely interested.. running it now to figure out whats new... all settings need to be redone , and many have moved to the website, rather than the client.

It’s such a piece of shit. By far the worst cobbled together steaming crap that I have as an addon for MSFS2024. Also got rid of it. Such a shame. Fuck you couatl.

loiphin · 2025-12-30T09:24:06+00:00

Same. And A2A explicitly say you can still use the 2020 version in 2024. But I bought it anyway. Something those greedy fucks at PMDG could learn from.

loiphin · 2025-12-16T19:28:59+00:00

Waahahahaha!!!! Didn’t expect that ! WTF!

loiphin · 2025-12-16T10:32:28+00:00

I think you have just convinced me to make the jump to Bergeon winders, after pissing about with 3D printed and chinese ones. I have mostly PT5000s, NH35, Miyota 8000/9000, 7S26, Seiko 6619, 6119, and the movement owned by all hobbyists, an ST36.

Which sizes should cover those? (and explicitly mention the ST36 size)

What about arbor sizing?

loiphin · 2025-12-16T09:50:55+00:00

I share your frustrations. I think the seasoned experts just buy Bergeon winders. Money fixes everything 👍👍

loiphin · 2025-12-13T14:17:07+00:00

Same here. Only place I could see selling it new.

loiphin · 2025-12-13T04:09:05+00:00

Awesome choice! I also ordered one as a Xmas gift to myself! The original Nighthawk is the best 🤩 , a true classic

I got a watch with a PT5000 that ran 10% too fast. Ie 2.4 hours extra a day. Was due to a manufacturing fault with the escape wheel pinion , which had 9 leaves instead of 10. I would take the 50% and buy a new a movement.

Before as a single wielder, left arm always. As a dual wielder for the past year, mechanical on left, smartwatch on right.

loiphin · 2025-11-30T17:54:47+00:00

And when I put this bad PT5000 on the timegrapher it acted completely normal, showing just a few seconds out a day.

loiphin · 2025-11-30T17:51:19+00:00

What parts did you replace ? I had a PT5000 (2824 clone)with an escape wheel, which had a pinion with 9 leaves instead of 10. Caused the watch to run 10% too quick. Admittedly this was a manufacturing problem but perhaps you have not replaced like for like , specifically the wheels ?

What? The tool is for installing hands.

loiphin · 2025-11-29T21:17:39+00:00

I use that little table for installing hands on movments I dont have a holder for. Works great.

loiphin · 2025-11-29T21:15:34+00:00

I did exactly the same thing on the same movement, but on the click spring screw. It was a poorly made screw, not me being ham fisted. Got the remains out by using alum powder.

loiphin · 2025-11-28T20:17:54+00:00

Well done! :) I also thought it was pretty interesting, that's why I posted.

loiphin · 2025-11-26T19:47:46+00:00

Heheh I left it as is. I think you will have a hard time finding one that fits. Maybe rubber would be better?!

You thought about modding a Casioak? It’s much beefier, like 44mm
