What time is it? Watches and horology

Having said that I am struggling to find any reference imagery to back this up. :oP

I'm sure I've seen a video of them using a wooden tipped screwdiver to hold the screw from the front while they screw the nut parts from the back.

Wooden screwdriver!? It gets better. :oP

I'm no engineer, but:

Surface of hexagon > the slot.

Even if you wanted to use the slot to "hold" the bolt in place, how would that work? At best you'd be adding another force preventing the bolt from moving (well, squishing).

Happy to be taught otherwise.

It's a wankfest. Can we move on?

I'm sorry...

You mum's a wankfest.

Ha.

Orient Ray 2

Quite like that.

I just wanna be at the jewellers when some citeh bouy brings a Royal Oak in with chewed up screw headz. 😀

@ejay must've seen that!

Finally... Something worth reading on this thread...

Could have been a rod of pegwood.

Think I need to stopp messing about and put the pennies away for one of these:

It's pretty much all I want from a smartwatch... nothing as locked-in as the Garmin and Suunto, and nothing as fashionista as the Apple Watch... just a simple set of sensors, the ability for me to choose the kind of battery life I need in the moment (a few days, a month, something inbetween)... and deep integration with Android.

I particularly like the lack of GPS (whilst providing all other sensors), because GPS is the one that kills your battery.

I don't even think it looks too bad.

Well, it doesn't look as bad as it could look.

Sounds good, looks bad.

ah, there's an all black one. that'd be fine

Does anybody want to buy a late 60s gold filled Omega Seamaster 600?

Will be looking for £300 for it. Its a very tidy watch for the age.

Tell me more....

Quite a few colours

Pity about the black bar at the bottom for the screen driver.

There's a grey one:

Spatr pls

Not sure if my monitor is broken or you don't know what the colour grey is...

I'm very colour blind... is that not grey? Maybe it's green, that's usually the colour I get confused with.

I only really know grey by hex codes. Same for green.

Reds on the other hand I can see just fine.

What?

stahp.

Although looking back it was David who started it.
