I found a Weishi No. 1900 on eBay for $5.30 (free s/h). I checked the store, looks like an importer of general Chinese electronics. Clicked back and forth a few times to see if it refreshed and disappeared. Read/reread/re-reread the listing to see if it was just a part for the 1900. I checked that the price was USD.
Ah, what the hell, I’ll order it, they’ll see the mistake and cancel it. Then I got a shipping notice.
It got here today. Brand new…
Over the past week I have ordered a Wolf Windsor 5 watch box from a member here, as well as a 15 Watch Wolf Windsor box from Amazon. I received the 15 watch box and decided to give it a try. For reference, my wrist is roughly 7.75”. I tested a pillow o…
Continue readingA while back I ordered a generic springbar tweezer from aliexpress (same kind as the ones in amazon & eBay [$12-30ish]). Naturally, the tips broke within literally the first 3 uses. No biggie, as I assumed they would fail, I just wanted to get a feel for the concept of springbar tweezers and if I liked it, then I’d spend more on the horofix or potentially Bergeon.
A couple of months ago I saw/read/heard (most likely here) that you could use the Horofix replacement…
I’m at a bit of a crossroad right now. My most recent acquisition is a Seiko Alpinist, and while I do absolutely adore it, it’s on faux gator. The look is primo, but if it’s gator, my collector side wants to say “to hell with it, I’m buying genuine gator!”.
But my environmentalist side sheds a tear knowing how obscene and cruel the market can be. My DREAM watch is a Monaco with…
Recently, I purchased a new watch box from Etsy, which I posted here. I was made of solid wood and was very nice. However, I kept looking at the watch boxes from Bosphorus Leather and decided to pull the trigger, as i really wanted something in leather…

Do you know if I have to pry or push to snap off the case back and what’s the best tool to minimize the risk of damaging/scratching the case please?
I would be very grateful for your help. 🙏
