+1......problem solved!

The water cycle concept is intriguing, the water in your glass could contain molecules from Julius Ceaser's piss!

Unless the crystal has significant damage there’s no reason to replace it. The crown is a different matter, that has to be right to guarantee the water resistance. I suspect Rolex won ‘t replace...

Doesn't look anything like 1mm to me. I would say this is normal, as previously stated you won't get the same snug fit as a solid end link. Trying to improve the fit is a slippery slope, I've done it...

Its likely that the hand is either loosened on the pinion or the pipe has loosened within the hand itself. When resetting to you claim that the position of the hand varies in a random fashion, if the...

Hadn’t seen the pictures yesterday when I posted, as Duncan’s pointed out the hairspring is distorted and isn’t centralised. I had one recently this, coincidentally a Seiko that was fairly new, and...

Get it to a repairer, it isn`t like a grazed knee that'll heal up. There's obviously a problem and beyond the magnetised or snagged hairspring suggestions it's a waste of time speculating. I`m sure I...

Sorry, but I do not believe an app on a phone can detect whether a watch has become magnetised. When a watch gets magnetised it's the hairspring that's affected, not the watch case! If someone can...

I thought they were good too, Ozzy can still perform despite advancing years and a somewhat 'hectic' lifestyle over the years! Hearing him perform takes me back to my youth in the 70s.

OP needs to run 2-3 times/ week to make progress. Build up slowly and forget about times/ pace, aim to run for 30 mins without busting a gut. Fitness will cone back but it won’t happen overnight. Buy...

I had a stock of diamond paste but unfortunately it got lost in the house move. Having said that I didn`t find it too successful, used with a soft pad and Dremel it would slowly take the sharp edge...

One word of advice to y'all.......LOCTITE! A tiny dab will prevent these mishaps, and a quick flash with a naked flame will soften it to allow the screws to be removed.

Screws can come loose after...

I`m v. impressed to see how that's been fixed, even with the correct equipment that takes skill. I`ve never used a laser welder but I`d love to try, I'm sure there's a high degree of skill needed to...

Agreed. I`m making the assumption that the watch is a Rolex and I`ll speculate that the scratch is in a polished section of the case. If so it's an easy job to have it polished out or polish it out...

Unlikely that the dial can be cleaned to an acceptable condition. Also possible that the movement is water- damaged.

Having the dial refinished is probably the best option. It’s a few years since...

Ultra- low interest rates couldn't last forever, unfortunately UK house prices have been fuelled by the affordability of cheap mortgages and people have (literally) bought into the fallacy that...

I had one of these, never managed to get it to work properly, can’t recall the exact details of its demise but I suspect it involved a crash landing onto a hard surface!

A replacement dial is the easiest option, its worth asking Steinhart whether they can supply one but I think this unlikely. I tried to source a crystal seal and I found Steinhart to be most unhelpful...

Classic cars are a totally different proposition, I own one so I’m fully aware of the pros and cons. I suspect classic values may struggle over the next few years, certainly can’t see them going up.

Take one of the remaining pins, measure it, then order the closest equivalent from Cousins. Sometimes pins gave to be trimmed to fit, a straightdorward job if you’ve got the tools but not easy if you...

Electric cars are now becoming more mainstream and are no longer the exclusive preserve of the trendy early adaptors, virtue signallers and other idealistic beardy types, but the major factor driving...

Alcantara is excellent, don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s synthetic. Last better than leather, which eventually ends up cracking .

I agree, I can’t work it out.......must've seemed like a good idea at the time!

2 door cars are a pain thesedays, the width of modern cars coupled with the larger doors needed to access the back makes them v. difficult to get in and out of when parked in a typical parking space....

It isn’t possible, because the centre links on Rolex are solid gold. OP did state that an extra link had been added and I’m guessing that’s the one that has worn through.

Spending depends how much of a premium you place on holidays, since I retired I’ve become less enthusiastic and that’s partly due to the getting away from work factor being removed, retirement us...
