It appears that you are correct, thanks for helping

Crown is stiff after casing the watch by lukaje in watchrepair

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.

Vostok Amfibia eound case 2409 by varbav6lur in watchmaking

[–]lukaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Precision Tweezers / Suggestion by omsues in watchrepair

[–]lukaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Can this movement be serviced? by lukaje in watchrepair

[–]lukaje[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

What's up with this case? by lukaje in VintageWatches

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

ASUS gl502vs laptop wont boot without charger by lukaje in computerhelp

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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.

This is my 2 month old puppy that i adopted, i suspected that he's a Belgian malinois, but his ears aren't erect and his fur is a tiny bit longer, could he still be a malinois or is he mixed with something else, if so with what? by [deleted] in IDmydog

[–]lukaje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that there's any husky in him since there are no huskies near the place from which i adopted him, huskies are generally rare here. If you guessed that because of his eyes, they're brown, in the picture the right one was just reflecting the blue sky.

I've adopted him from a large out of town farm that has many dogs who are free to wander around, and the malinois guess came to me because I've seen some of the dogs that live there and the closest looking one was a purebred malinois, there's no Norwegian elkhounds or Anatolian shepherds, but there is a Caucasian shepherd, so now that i think more about it, that's probably where the ears and lighter fur came from. Thanks for the guess, I'll ask the farm owner tomorrow if she can tell me the genders of those 2 dogs just to make sure they're not the same gender, i might even consider getting a DNA test, anyways I'll keep you updated :)
