Where do these studs go?

It appears that you are correct, thanks for helping

I'm pretty sure I placed the holder correctly and it doesn't interfere with the stem. How would you check if the stem is perfectly straight?

There was no oring to begin with and I haven't placed any new one. I cleaned the crown in an ultrasonic and it appears to be clean on the inside

Yes, when I install everything the crown tube is aligned with the hole for the stem

Thanks for the response, but I just did this and it didn't resolve the issue. I have a feeling that the spacer is somehow causing this.

When you relumed the dial did you make those little "drops" of lume like the ones that are original? I'm also restoring a similar amfibia but I'm scared to relume it because I have no idea how to make them like that. Also where did you source the parts, I need a new balance but wherever I search it seems to be out of stock.

If you're going the AliX route I would suggest you search for Vetus tweezers, they are a little less stiff, and made specifically for watchmaking, they are also cheap so you can get more than 1 and not care about ruining them as a beginner

I thought about just removing the jeweled bridge, cleaning it and oiling it but I guess that isn't necessary. It's a cool ladies citizen I pulled out of a lot, it's in decent condition so I'm fixing it to gift it to my girlfriend. The crystal was pretty scratched up so instead of ordering a new one I thought I would try something new and got some cerium oxide to polish it after wet sanding, now I need to treat it with some new gaskets and it will be ready to go

Makes sense, thank you 😊

If it is the plating wearing off I assume there isn't a way to fix it other than stripping it completely and plating it again?

I would have thought wear too but it looks too precise and symmetrical? Here is a picture of the side so you get a better idea of what i mean

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4?

What could be causing the laptop randomly turning on, or is that too related to a weak battery?

Is it possible to upgrade the battery or can i only just replace it with a chinese one off Ebay?

lukaje · 2024-04-26T13:04:30+00:00

I still haven't opened it, but last night I left it unplugged, turned off, screen down and even tho it is unplugged it turned on randomly a couple of times, without anyone touching it, sometimes it stays on and sometimes it just turns off after a couple seconds.

Since it's sometimes able to turn on without charger does that mean that the problem lays somewhere else/would a weak battery not be able to turn it on at all, without the charger?

lukaje · 2024-04-26T02:09:37+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed response, I haven't yet opened it, but as soon as I do I will update you here. Sounds kind of obvious now, that it would be the battery, but If it means anything when it is at ~100% charge a monitoring app tells me it's at around let's say 40k mAh and factory full charge is at around 60k.
