I'd start with demagnetizing. One of my Seikos was -40 seconds/day. I demagnetized it and immediately returned to -5 seconds a day. You can buy an inexpensive demagnetizer on Amazon.

Just so I'm understanding correctly a
That watch you linked has a "Sellita top grade SW200-1 Swiss automatic movement"
This watch has a, "Sellita SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement, 26...
That one is pretty easy to answer. Small magnetic charges on parts with tiny tolerances = big braking effect.
Quartz escapes it, because fewer parts and slightly wider tolerances.
To answer...
I think this is a waste of time and ammo. Box everything up and ship it to me for disposal.

So, I thought I'd throw this out a bit of WHY - since Flamingo and I have talked about it. Many...
Watches are like guns. Only accurate and reliable ones are interesting.
Accuracy for me is +/- 10 seconds a day, with a strong preference of <2 seconds/day. Reliability is that I can fall off a...
I admit to normally not liking 'square' cases - but the Pam Radiomir is a beautiful watch to me. I know folks tend to like the Luminor for its protected crown - but the Radiomir is just...elegant.
I have been compiling the list of watches we seem to like under a G:
Victorinox
Marathon Quartz
G-Shocks of various stripes
I'm a bit surprised no one has said Seiko?
Has anyone tried any...
Fleming wore an Explorer. But...the first watch worn by Bond in Dr. No is a Gruen Precision 510.
If you think that's bad wait until you learn about the prostitute's actual test results...
Well...except that by all accounts it probably isn't true...Hillary wore a Smith's on his wrist and may have carried a Rolex in his pocket. Tenzing Norgay was supposed to have worn his personal...
It doesn't benefit you.
Theoretically, the ability to scale from prototype to production in hours or days is great for rapidly responding to a changing market and demands. If new guns dropped...
What do we think is the current production watch version of an HK USP? It needs to be analog, accurate, robust to the point of overbuilt, priced below a G.
I think the Bulova Accutron Astronaut circa 1962-67. The only watch (at the time) accurate enough to be worn by pilots of the fastest airplane ever built.

And for watch two: A ~36mm...
You could just make some light shooting .30-06 rounds with the existing bullets. Then give the kids a couple of sporterized '03s to match dad's. For the interim - get the cheapest Boyd's stock you...
Come on man - if we're talking a .308 Battle Rifle - how can you not mention the short-lived, never really effective in combat and quickly supplanted, but glorious M1A? A rifle that demonstrates what...
Long enough for me to find a Twinkie.
FAL
SCAR
M1A
M1 Garand
Very different beasts. All of those cartridges are ~200y maximum.
.300BO is fairly reliable - it is merely 5.56 with the neck and shoulder cut off and then...
Indeed. Pragmatically, I think most folks can solve these problems by thinking about the following: What is the most common pest/vermin I need to deal with and at what distance?
If you're dealing...
Things I'd prioritize over a new rifle - if wanting to harden a rural home:
1) LoRaWAN network across the property
2) Tied into that network a series of monitoring sensors for gates/roads
3)...
Not going to lie my answer to this question is driven entirely by having a rifle that is fun to shoot and learn.
I've watched as an entire city collapsed around me. When the mobs hit the streets,...
AR15 in 6ARC with a can on it and work up a load that hits out to the 1200y range of the 6ARC.
Now you have a lightweight AR15-platform rifle that can shoot farther, faster, and flatter than a...
Seems like a good time to keep someone arguing and distracting them, while you roll out the backside and hit them with a bunch of buckshot.
Or at least that's what would happen if I had my way.
Not all 3D printed grips are equal, because not all 3D printed methods are equal. PLA and the various polymers that are laid down as layers pretty much all suck equally. But Selective Laser Sintering...
For Law Enforcement it is undoubtedly mostly a grip problem. For the average concealed carrier, I'd have to see, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are a few variables involved - grip being the big...
I was all of about 9-10 years old when this happened. But even my adolescent mind could comprehend that the difficulty in maintaining the chain of evidence, the pre-existing notion that the LAPD...
