I was new to a school and decided to skip class with a bunch of classmates I barely knew. One guy goes to the bathroom and comes back and stands right behind me. I look up and he is completely naked except for a sock on his dick hovering right above my head.
We've been great friends for close to 18 years and I just got to meet his two kids.
Well it had a lock icon. You can't just make those up!
Thanks for the tips! Is it pretty easy to find movement specific service instructions or do you just learn to recognize parts and common build methods?
Once I settle down I'd love to get into full on servicing vintage watches as well.
Yeah so an example of throwing on aftermarket parts:
Start with your base watch, I picked up a cheap Invicta dive watch like so https://files.catbox.moe/bnxgcp.jpg
Slap on some aftermarket hands, bezel, faced, and sand the bracelet for a nice brushed finish. https://files.catbox.moe/mo52xw.jpg
This is a watch restoration I was attempting. Did a poor job but learned quite a bit. https://files.catbox.moe/9bv3pa.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/2kwaka.jpg

It could be a lot of things ranging from state threat actors looking for a toehold into a network or to cost the government time and resources or people doing it for the lulz.
Not too quirky or obscure but I really just like to fix shit. Clocks, washing machines, cars, crooked door, hole in a sweater, electronics... Nothing is outside of my interest.
On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look.
A friend had this mantra of "You do you." that I've really embraced. Stop giving a shit about the things you don't agree with or views other people are into. I'm not looking to change minds, just being personally receptive and open is enough for me.
Our situation was a bit different since it was just me and my wife. We both had our 8 hour work schedules so we kept to our jobs for most of the day. I also recall taking a day off to make a three day weekend here and there.
I did it for about a month and and loved it. We got an Airbnb in Arizona. We woke up early, clocked out early, and went hiking nearly every day. The weekends we did a trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, both great experiences. If you can make it work, then try it out. I know tons of people that maintain jobs while travelling almost full time.
If you like to talk to tomatoes...
