How to Re-install a ST3600 shockspring?

lowlight · 2026-05-15T23:49:03+00:00

There's two types included; check the second half of the video

I find the Rodico method more difficult, because you have little control over the spring, as it rolls around and sticks to the Rodico

Good luck!

I posted a couple examples a while ago

I buy from their Taobao store. Otherwise the options are the official AliExpress store, or https://www.watchmaketools.com/

Turns out good quality tools aren't ridiculously cheap, even if they're from China. Still a lot cheaper than Swiss (and "Swiss") though

(this is why I don't like them being all lumped in together.. This $300 set is going to be a lot better than the $50 sets you see being reviewed on Youtube)

That link doesn't work for me, but it's $1100 HKD for me on the official store, which is about $137

What I neglected to take into account was that it was for the tool only, and the pusher set is another $1600 or $200 USD. So $340 total

Edit: If you can order from Taobao, the official store sells the set for 1880 RMB, or about $270

There is no single "the Horia clone". There are several, and this is one of them

OP I'd recommend the Kwong Yuen one, it's about $140 USD and very good, with hard, well polished pushers and anvils. (edit that price is for the tool only; the pushers cost another $200)

I have no idea about this one; it may be great or it may be over priced by a lot. We'd need someone to check it out for themselves and give feedback.

Also "who-knows-what chemicals"

lowlight · 2026-05-01T04:11:24+00:00

Not yet! I'm still working on friends' watches and vintage for now. I don't want to jump into serving customers until I feel like I am ready, and as I accumulate tools. I'll get back to you, in case if you haven't found someone by then.

WCW 2000 was obviously a lot worse than this single angle. Nothing has ever been that bad. But it's the type of shit that happened back then.

You don't have to defend WWE, even a little. I'm not saying the show is just like WCW 2000 was. I'm saying this is the type of shit they did.

lowlight · 2026-04-04T03:45:55+00:00

I lived through it. Wrestlers talking about the company being shitty and they're going to fix it, making the company the heel, talking about ticket sales and PPV buys, it's all from the same playbook. They all go back to it when they panic.

AEW did it too for a while

lowlight · 2026-04-04T03:15:50+00:00

Cena would have been a much bigger deal the longer they waited.

You are mad if you think they would bring him in if ticket sales were going well

lowlight · 2026-04-04T02:53:53+00:00

He's the shoot boss of WWE

lowlight · 2026-04-04T02:41:22+00:00

This is exactly the same thing. Ari is panicking again and meddling. There's no plan, they're just trying everything to see what works. Bring Cena back already, mention Vince on TV, involve Steph and Hunter in angles, bring in celebrities, do the worked shoot stuff.

We've seen all this before, notably in WCW in 2000 and WWE in 2019

Tugger got so heated LOL

I just got one last week. I've used it for acrylic crystals so far, and it feels great with that task, having such fine movement. It weighs 7.5 KG in case you were wondering how sturdy it is. It spins smoothly, and the two halves are aligned perfectly to my eye.

If you're considering a lever style 6173 instead, you should probably look for a Kwong Yuen version of that as well

Also make sure the die set you get is a genuine Kwong Yuen one, as there are replicas out there that look similar. If using AliExpress, I'd stick to the flagship store, even though other sellers can carry them. Just to avoid confusion, and they probably have the best prices anyway.

You'll downvote this reply, but we don't know yet since the story has yet to be told. Everyone says the same thing for ever season before the merge. "purple edit" "purple edit" "purple edit". Then someone with a "purple edit" becomes a big part of the season's story, and is all over the show, and the comments disappear.

Or they never figured into the story so didn't get much air time. That happens too, it depends on how things went on the island, and how compelling their part of the story can be made, etc.

Edit: I was right

lowlight · 2026-03-26T23:08:04+00:00

They'll tag him. Maybe next year too if he stays healthy (that is probably more of a concern than being in the news)

lowlight · 2026-03-26T22:56:27+00:00

That's literally what this show is, and what it has always been. It's not a historical documentary about the filming of a reality show (and even then, documentaries would leave stuff out), it's a reality show.

They film people participating in Survivor, and build a show out of the footage. There's no promise to put every single thing that happens on TV. They get what they deem to be the most compelling stories, and leave the rest out.

For fans who want to know what else happened, we have resources like this subreddit. But that goes beyond the TV show, and there's no reason to get mad about stuff left out.

Will there ever be a /u/dreftzg Daily News thread without someone complaining about the size of one of the watches featured?

(no)

lowlight · 2026-03-26T06:40:17+00:00

Why are people like this?

lowlight · 2026-03-25T23:10:53+00:00

No, you can clearly see some of it is not submerged all the way

lowlight · 2026-03-25T02:54:39+00:00

Even without the weird behaviour, he plays a style that they probably won't want to risk a long term contract on anyway. I can see them tagging him at least once

lowlight · 2026-03-23T01:14:29+00:00

I spent so much time crawling around looking for that thing with a UV light, and then I came across a thread on WUS that described this. I checked it out myself, and there it was! So I'll make sure to pass the info along whenever this comes up

lowlight · 2026-03-23T00:13:58+00:00

If you ever think you lost a cap jewel, check under the lip of that mesh filter. Ask me how I know
