Does the seconds subdial work?

2017-08-18 20:05:20 UTC  

yes

2017-08-18 20:05:37 UTC  

im pretty dissapointed that i almost destroyed the nomos

2017-08-18 20:05:43 UTC  

How?

2017-08-18 20:05:44 UTC  

its hard to tell but the face is scratched up and there is no glass

2017-08-18 20:05:52 UTC  

you can see foil under the paint

2017-08-18 20:06:02 UTC  

A new crystal would cost more than you paid :^)

2017-08-18 20:06:17 UTC  

id rather spend it on audio pebbles

2017-08-18 20:06:29 UTC  

Though you could be meta-memetic and put an antireflection coated sapphire crystal on it

2017-08-18 20:06:53 UTC  

It'd look as it does now but be $200 + labour more expensive

2017-08-18 20:06:54 UTC  

i almost destroyed it trying to replace the back case

2017-08-18 20:07:12 UTC  

i resorted to two pliers wrapped in tissue

2017-08-18 20:07:12 UTC  

Why were you replacing the caseback?

2017-08-18 20:07:23 UTC  

had to remove tape on battery

2017-08-18 20:07:32 UTC  

Caseback friction openers are like, $0.2?

2017-08-18 20:07:37 UTC  

hey fuck u

2017-08-18 20:07:53 UTC  

They even come with smileys on them so they can double as a stress ball

2017-08-18 20:07:59 UTC

2017-08-18 20:09:14 UTC  

i ended up leaving it semi-closed for a month before i realised i can just use my vice

2017-08-18 20:09:28 UTC  

https://www.aliexpress.com/item//32347133124.html I really remembered it as cheaper

2017-08-18 20:09:44 UTC  

its not a screw back though

2017-08-18 20:09:46 UTC  

>threaded caseback

2017-08-18 20:09:49 UTC  

o

2017-08-18 20:09:55 UTC  

the soki one is

2017-08-18 20:10:09 UTC  

Then you need a caseback knife, or just use a cheese knife like John Goldberger

2017-08-18 20:10:27 UTC  

taking it off wasnt hard

2017-08-18 20:10:30 UTC  

putting it back on was

2017-08-18 20:10:45 UTC  

t. Sierra madre casino

2017-08-18 20:10:46 UTC  

i looked it up to check if i was fucking retarded

2017-08-18 20:10:56 UTC  

Does the crown on the Soki have an o-ring?

2017-08-18 20:11:18 UTC  

It'll likely squeak a tiny bit if pushed in and turned

2017-08-18 20:12:03 UTC  

it doesnt squeak but theres some resistance

2017-08-18 20:13:44 UTC  

how shit is that soki watch for 2.5e

2017-08-18 20:14:01 UTC  

is it like throwing 2e in a well

2017-08-18 20:14:03 UTC  

it terms of quality its better than the nomos i spent $4

2017-08-18 20:14:24 UTC  

the nomos came with a messed up watchface

2017-08-18 20:14:38 UTC  

homos

2017-08-18 20:14:38 UTC  

not sure how to describe it, it wasnt perfectly round because something unfolded

2017-08-18 20:14:47 UTC  

on the watchface

2017-08-18 20:15:07 UTC  

Put the soki as poorfag extraordinare tbh

2017-08-18 20:15:21 UTC  

There's also an SNK809 knockoff from some low end chink brand IIRC
