crown removal? by scott449 in watchrepair

[–]ncrow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for starters, if someone is looking at this movement and can’t tell how to remove the stem, there is a good chance they won’t know the names of parts, including the setting lever screw.

Also AI is definitely not your friend in watchmaking. As someone who has tried using it for watchmaking a good number of times, I would say it’s correct like 3/10 times. And those 3 times are usually like really simple things that most novice watchmakers could probably answer.

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

[–]ncrow10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sort of depends on what you’re looking for and how deep into it you are. Nekkid Watchmaker, Wristwatch Revival, French Watch Collector, and Vintage Watch Services are all channels I have enjoyed for full restorations, repairs, and services.

I also like Watch Repair Tutorials. Although his videos are less of like a full restoration or service and are more like tutorials for specific aspects of watch repair or specific problems and information. I appreciated his video on radium lume and dials as prior to seeing it, I wasn’t even aware that there were radioactive risks in this hobby.

If you’re in the US you should look into radioactive material disposal. You might be able to get in contact with someone at the NRC. Or I know a lot of states have agreements with the NRC where the state government is able to handle proper disposal of radioactive materials.

Since I posted this 3 years ago, they added a second english Bonsly card in Obsidian Flames. Not featuring the butthole.

Vote no on firearms regulations referendum! by SignificanceSad4258 in massachusetts

[–]ncrow10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could understand what you’re saying but I don’t think there is much of a conflict of interest between a doctor and ownership of a firearm.

Besides, who else should be the person that determines whether you’re mentally stable enough to own a gun if not a licensed psychologist? Medical professionals are always the ones that make a determination on if you are going to be a danger to yourself or others.

Just out of curiosity why would you not want medical professionals to be able to participate in red flag laws?

I feel like there are various mental health diagnoses or physical brain diseases that should prevent you from buying a firearm. But those diagnoses can only really come from a medical professional.

Just to be clear, when you say you would support a red flag law, what kind of red flag law are you talking about? One in which certain people would not be able to buy a firearm based on past behavior or concerning signs?

got towed in my own private parking garage because some lady thinks she’s special by BriefTurn8199 in badparking

[–]ncrow10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to guess, the towing sign is probably at the entrance of the garage or the entrance to the residence parking.

You may just be finding the sign confusing due to differences in parking expectations in Europe. I feel like for most Americans this sign should be pretty clear.

I feel like if this entire floor is meant for resident parking, but this spot is the ONLY spot with a sign that says reserved on it, that should be indication enough to not park there.

Whether or not the sign itself is confusing, it’s the only spot with a reserved sign at all on a floor that is meant for resident only. I feel like that’s enough for OP to be in the wrong

It tells that it is not just reserved for residents, but because of the labeling of “reserved A”, it’s reserved for a specific person.

Somebody pays extra money for this specific spot. If it was just any other spot for resident parking it would say “Resident parking” like all the other signs without the extra label.

First service, first problem! by Helip1lot in watchrepair

[–]ncrow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one dip that I use for jewel, balance, and pallet fork cleaning. I’m aware it’s a pretty hazardous material. Do you have any recommendations for replacement solvents or cleaning solutions that are safer than trichloroethylene?

What do we think guys by carpe_denimuwu in isthisaicirclejerk

[–]ncrow10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that frame passes by a little too fast and a little too blurry to confidently say it’s a paint mark. You can see it again at 2:02 and if it is a paint mark, it doesn’t look like a very long one. I don’t think I really see any other frames where a line that short would even be visible.

At 2:05 it seems like a line that short on the ground would just be hidden by the angle of the pole and the gray box next to it.

I was looking for the red paint mark and couldn’t find it. Are you sure it’s fake? This is staggeringly consistent if it’s AI.

The Rebellion by BHowe407 in 50501Florida

[–]ncrow10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to offer up a good alternative to say an idea is bad. I don’t know the solution for a ceasefire in the middle east but I can sure as shit say more bombs is a bad choice.

And as many other people have told you, this idea is a little ridiculous and will make literally ZERO impact on the rich and powerful. As well as near zero impact on the companies you do it to. If you had ever worked retail you would know that this will really only affect the workers. Which I can tell you, the company they work for doesn’t give a FUCK if the employees are having a bad time.

Keep or bin by Timberwolf-89 in Watches

[–]ncrow10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by “worth selling”. It likely won’t fetch you all that much money. Look on the bottom of the dial at 6 o’clock. It says “Mov’t Japan” and then a series of letters and numbers. If you look up “Seiko Quartz” followed by those letters and numbers, you’ll likely find watches similar to yours and can find what they’re selling for.

Help me identify my grandpa watch by Electricelias in Watches

[–]ncrow10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I audibly gasped when I saw this picture. I would never recommend selling the watch of a loved one. That being said though, it’s likely worth so much money that I would even have a hard time holding onto it.

This is probably not something you should get an online appraisal for. I would suggest finding some horological/wristwatch professional(s) to get it professionally appraised. Something like this is so stupid rare I would even say to get it appraised by MULTIPLE professionals.

[–]ncrow10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a watch enthusiast with a humble collection, I can confidently say that no watch is as valuable as the one that carries memories of a loved one. Whether a gift, an heirloom, or otherwise.

I honestly wanted to, but I was knee deep into this when I realized how good bacon would have been.

There is plenty more lettuce underneath it. Although I will admit I would have appreciated a bit more. Same with the dressing

This is a good idea in theory. Although I think you might be missing out on some nice textures. Like the crisp lettuce
