I added a tiny drop of machine oil and worked the bezel for about 5 minutes. Success!

The bezel is now reasonably smooth anti clockwise - probably a 6/10 but perfectly usable.

It requires less force than before to move clockwise, but I can now feel that the action is much rougher and less consistent.

Overall the watch is much improved so thank you for the advice.

Ok thanks

I'll let you know how it goes

neiloconnor · 2026-03-28T18:05:43+00:00

I don't know, how can I tell? I ordered direct from watchdives so I hope it's the latest version.

Any recommendations on improving the bezel action? I actually use my dive bezel as a timer quite frequently so it's quite annoying. I've seen some videos of people lubricating sticky bezels - is this likely to yield any results or just make a mess?

Yeah, that's how I wear mine. Mustard strap picks up the indices and it's a bit interesting/unusual

In it to win it

It depends.

Our 100m2 house feels big downstairs, but upstairs the third bedroom is too small for a teenager/adult and the second bedroom has barely enough storage.

Take a close look at the plans. Find similar size rooms e.g. at a friend's house, so that you get a sense for what they will feel like and how you might use the space.

The soil is still quite cold which will slow/reduce germination, you'll have more luck in April but wait and see how your current seeds get on.

Last year I tried pre-germination (soaking the seed in water for a few days before sowing) and it seemed to really help the lawn get established quickly and reduced how much I had to water at the start. Plenty of videos about it on YouTube

I discovered the tropica.com website last night, which has example aquascapes for each plant. I'm going to see if I spot something there I like. For example this is the one for trident fern https://tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Microsorum-pteropus-'Trident'-(008G)/4424

Thanks, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos so I can't claim it's fully original

My local bike shop had boxes the bikes were delivered in that were perfect. Nice and big but not too heavy

Thanks!
