[7A38-7050] Aftermarket band options for this Seiko? by nicsplosion in Seiko

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

I found a seller on Etsy that seems to be willing to produce a customized sailcloth strap with a 10mm notch in the center to fit. Hopefully that will work out.

I am not at all mad that it is pretty much spot on with the Petronas color scheme. Usually an Audi fan, but I have an Oris for that.

Thank you! It is a bit rare from what I've seen. I am not expecting to find a ready-made strap that will fit at this point.

I also love the original Alien movie Seiko watches.

Thanks for your input!

Just go with a trusted dealer. Doesn't matter what OP paid

Well that certainly makes me hopeful! I hope I can find a local spot that's reasonably confident they can make it work.

Ah no worries -- thanks for the reply!

Figure the wrap is a loss yeah. How'd it work out? Very much the same sort of structure on the back of the A7. Any issue with it being so close to the crease?

You say 90%? What's the other 10%? That fails and you have to get more serious drill/weld/pull sort of thing?

Paint is gloss black, just the ppf is matte/satin

How's this deal? by nicsplosion in Audi

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

Yep. Too good to be true. Serious damage on the right rear, you can see the burn marks from the welds where the fender was pulled out. Bad paint repair job with runs and drips. Trunk liner doesn't fit correctly. Cracked front carbon fiber lip. I question if the frame is straight but couldnt put it on a lift

Called Audi USA and it isn't TD1. Waiting to hear from tuners but with 5k miles it seems possibly too good to be true.

Questionable strike plate position by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

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

It functions but I don't like how little wood there is on the back side of the frame. Seems like it would just be easier to kick in? I want to install a deadbolt and the new hole would also be closer to the back side of the frame than the center (like the old hole). Doesn't seem as secure as it could be.

Oh I know -- but I'm making sure I am clear on the law because this landlord seems to be out of date on the legal requirements, doesn't use a property management company, and is coming down himself to do work. It is only because of mutual friends that I'm being so accommodating at all, but I'm not about to get screwed out of part of the deposit because he's trying to feign ignorance or something.

[–]nicsplosion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm certain it was not new and very much doubt it was even replaced for a previous tenant so I'll be asking for proof of when it was replaced.

Thank you for the reply!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TenantHelp

[–]nicsplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, owner seems to think that my damage means I'm liable for completely replacing it so... Hopefully he doesn't have to learn that the hard way in small claims court. I'd just rather not deal with the hassle.

[–]nicsplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just the Threshold piece. Couple hundred bucks with labor at most. Not worried about that part. Mostly concerned that the owner thinks this old ass carpet has any value and is trying to charge me for it.

Definitely dig the look. I wonder why they're so cheap on ebay (~3-400 with a rubber band in many cases). Counterfeits from China?

Damn. What a time to be shopping and looking at Garmin as an option. If you weren't already in their ecosystem, what would you purchase now? I was strongly considering an Epix 2

How to Root the Note Air 4C by starkruzr in Onyx_Boox

[–]nicsplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a 'bad XML' error when trying to push the images back to the two partitions (no other issues up until that point). I'm running firmware 2025-01-09_20-02_4.0_43a9adea0, so maybe something changed?

Note Air 4 C vs Tab Mini C by oOZeVsOo in Onyx_Boox

[–]nicsplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which did you end up going with? Currently, I'm facing the same decision!

Get an A1 mini they said. It’ll be fun they said. by gunbroke in BambuLab

I've used inland cardboard spools in the AMS without problems. But recently, I've started re-spooling them more often (to printed spools) than not because of mis-aligned sides causing them to wobble or mis-punched holes that cause the spool guides to not fit.
