AAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I could kill for that right now.....

 

Sadly though I am on a diet since the beginning of Feb following years of neglect for my general state of fitness.

My target is to lose 3 1/2 stone to get my BMI back into the top end of the "healthy weight" range before the summer. I am over half way already but it has meant avoiding things like bread, beer, and anything fried, so like I said, I could kill for those bangers and beer right now.

 

Oh well, the sooner I hit my target the sooner I can indulge in such things again, just not over indulge.

 

I trust you enjoyed your dinner :-)

No bangers for me either - or butter - or full-fat milk - or cheese...

 

Cholesterol's too high and I have a three-month target to get it back to normal. Luckily, I don't have any problem in giving things up (apart from watches, of course), so it's going well. No statins for me if I can help it.

Guys, you only live once! Considering all the food we buy out there (hopefully organic, etc) that we really don't know how it originated or how it was processed, I'd rather know what I'm dying from! :)

Too simple for a walkthrough, Bob.

 

All is done in a cast iron fry pan (real men cook in cast iron) :)

 

Chop onions, add a little oil in pan, add onions and a spot of water, cover and cook on med/low heat. Clear a space in pan and place bangers, add a little more water if needed to steam, cover and cook a little more. Uncover, turn up heat, brown all and put in a soft roll.

 

Easy peasy

      Hour hand won’t go past certain spot when adjusting time forwards

      If the watch is new, just return it to the seller for a refund or replacement.

      Keevo, Welcome to the group ! I'm thinking that you have some damage to the hour, and/ or minute wheel. Possibly just a bent, otherwise damaged, or missing tooth.   Your photo didn't post that I can see. I think you'll have to open it to start really finding the issue. Best, Randy

      Cap jewel with what looks like a circular engraving around the edge

      By mikepilk · Posted

      In cap jewels on several watches I have serviced over the years. I've recently serviced a couple of Longines movements where the cap jewels were colourless. They are a real pain. Without colour they disappear when immersed in any liquid for cleaning 😲 Not necessarily. Cousins do a 10ml bottle for £26 which will last me for years. That's just half the price of a simple Bergeon silicone cushion, so not too expensive 🤣

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      I wanted to post an update as I have two movements running really well now, 230-250 amplitude , 0.5 and under beat error, and +/-8 seconds or so. I removed the hairspring assembly in order to start over and noticed that the terminal curve between the stud and regulator arm was distorted. The stud was lower than it should be. I massaged the curve to look pretty good and reinstalled it. I followed Alex's video advice, best I could with 10x magnification, and with the regulator arm set in the middle of the curve I adjusted the stud so the spring was centered. I then made sure I could move the regulator arm the entire terminal curve without upsetting the coils. I then put it back on the Timegrapher and began closing down the regulator pins until I saw a change in amplitude which means to me that the pins were now pinching the spring. I opened them slightly and it looks good except I have a 0 on dial down, +3 on dial up but -16 on crown down.  I'm a bit stuck on how to adjust out the positional error. I also noticed a drop in amplitude, 180-200 on crown down. In the other video link I posted at about minute 26 if I remember he adjusts out positional error by manipulating  the regulator pin gap. With crown down the hairspring falls away from the pin and the rate slows so he closes the pins a bit to keep them tighter in crown down position. That means the spring is tighter on dial up as well but then he moved the regulator arm to slow the movement.  There must be some Seiko experts here that have some methods for dialing out positional errors.
