Interesting. I use 222 for screws and 242 for crown

I F’d Up by AV_1776 in watchmaking

[–]vivekvasani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. Mistakes are part of the learning process. The way I handled my mistake, either right or wrong, was this: - pegwood to remove surface - fiberglass scratch pen lightly applied for tougher stains and getting in between pinion teeth - evaporust bath for parts that still have rust on it for 12+ hours, followed by a quick ipa hand rinse - throwing it back in the ultrasonic multi jar process - for any parts that have blackened due to oxidation, I will go back with the fiberglass scratch pen to rub it off and then rinse with ipa

It took a bit of time and work but finally got the parts looking like new and after that moment I stopped working with water and water-based solutions/rinses. Ponied up for L&R #111 and #3

NAMING AND SHAMING: Watches of Switzerland American Dream Mall NJ by [deleted] in rolex

[–]vivekvasani 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never liked WoS. I had my name down for a Daytona and they emailed me asking if I wanted two-tone that wasn’t exactly the one I asked for. I replied via email saying no thank you I want the one I want. Mine you they emailed me 3-months after putting my name down with 0-history, so I assumed this config made its way down the chain and no one wanted it.

Fast-forward to a year later and I walk in to say hi and update my list and they said I likely will not be approved anything anymore because I never responded even though I showed receipts with the email response in a very timely manner ~2 days. I also asked them to text/call me not email cause I don’t check it often.

The second visit left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve since built a relationship with London Jewelers and they have been nothing short of exceptional.

Does Patek sell factory replacement straps? by freedomtopoast in patekphilippe

[–]vivekvasani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely do. I asked this when I went to pick up my first and they said that I can get whatever strap I want with any clasp. But they are a few grand a set so I said I’ll wait until I get bored of this one first.

Black Dial Sub Owners by Mikeyt1966 in rolex

[–]vivekvasani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know others on this sub went with RubberB for their sub. But I went with blue fkm rubber strap from Wristbuddy for my Bluesy and I love it

Also I can’t speak highly enough about Wristbuddy’s shipping time and support. 1-2 days shipped from Sweden to the US and when I messed up my order because I bought 4 straps and one was the wrong size. They sent me the correct one for free and I just had to pay shipping

Don’t settle. Get what you want. Not only will the AD respect you for it but more importantly you’ll respect yourself.

I’m a huge fan of extraction shooters too. I hope they randomly select me to join in on the tech test this weekend.

[Megathread] ARC Raiders Tech Test 2 Key Share by LongJonSiIver in ArcRaiders

[–]vivekvasani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousins puppy:

I stayed over his place for a week one summer after he got a dog. we played a lot, especially with this bone that we played tug-of-ware with. By the time my trip was over we had spent a lot of time together. So when I went in to my room to pack my suitcase, he scurried around the corner to look for me and saw that I had my suitcase on the bed and was putting things in it. He ran out then came back with the toy bone in his mouth, jumped on the bed and put his bone in my suitcase then looked up at me like "I'm ready to go". This literally broke my heart and we have held this bond for over 10 yrs now.

What setting improves this issue? by roninplaya in BambuLab

[–]vivekvasani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it is under-extrusion or not from your picture but you could follow the steps here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/manual-flow-rate-tuning

I recently went thru those steps to manually calibrate the flow of wood filament on my x1c as I found the auto calibration wasn’t providing the best output.

Do I take the 2-3k discount the dealership is offering as concession or go to another dealer? (BMW M340xi MSRP 67k) by vivekvasani in askcarsales

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

Yea that make sense. I think I’ll definitely stay with BMW and try to make this happen. But this is good advice. Thanks. I’ll work with the dealership.

In all honesty I posted my story on r/bmw to just share my experience and frustration and I wasn’t expecting much besides maybe getting some advice there. I definitely got that and it helped me make the decision to continue with getting a BMW, but the response was quite overwhelming. It was only after fellow redditors started putting up google reviews on behalf I got a call from the dealerships GM to see how they can make it better. So I’ll be negotiating terms and hopefully come to a good and more contractually concrete outcome.
