DSSD bent second hand and now scratched dial
highoeyazmuhudee replied to cheswick's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
try asking Eurotimez. MAN what happened to that dial? Let me guess you tried using a cotton swab..which surprisingly, scratches and leaves fibers wedged under the hour markers... been there Scratches are usually harder to see on the dial once the crystal is over it than you think... i'd be more concerned with the burring on the base of the hands where they were installed, those are easier to see when everythings installed and closed up. Clean the dial using 99% isopropanol and a quality microfiber cloth (cleaning in a scooping up and away motion and work from the center -out)and dont sweat the hairline scratches, only the visible digs. try that first, but i'd replace those hands and only install new ones using a nylon press not metal. if the isopropanol isnt enough ive done some amazing things with zippo fluid and a microfibre cloth, but im unsure of it long term effects on lume or even the paint, hopefully no bubbling or cracking, maybe with constant cleaning years in the future it would, but youre only doing it once and immediate effects are null other than superior cleaning and NO residue left afterwards -

What's the legality in carrying a roll of coins for defense?
highoeyazmuhudee replied to TeeJay's topic in The looney bin
in Canada licensing is ALL about knowing and demonstrating gun safety and not having a history of mental health issues or intent to offend or have previously offended, I believe there is nothing wrong with this process. However I disagree with the Canadian government when it comes to prohibited restricted weapons and carrying a weapon like carrying your wallet. I believe one should be allowed to carry for safety reasons once you've acquired a single license (PAL) to buy and own AND CARRY even a handgun or pistol, and short of buying WMDs we should be allowed to own assault rifles and handguns like the AK47 if we so desire. Our laws are indeed odd, if you collect guns and can demonstrate knowledge about your collection you can infact own prohibited restricted firearms in Canada as long as its part of a collection and registered, or if you have the firing pin removed you can possess it as well. I find that ironic since if you're a nut job you'd probably have an arsenal of weapons (a collection if you will) and there fore technically allowed to posses it. But our government sees no reason in allowing hand guns to the public because they seem to have no other purpose than to kill your fellow man without them seeing it coming, and hunting a deer doesnt take a fully automatic assault rifle. Also kevlar body armor for a civilian is illegal, which I also DONT agree with since it comes down to personal protection whether you actually need it or are just paranoid. But I guess the government sees it as being harder for the police to kill you if they really have to in a shoot out. handgun permits are reserved for police and brinks truck security guards. knuckles, autos, throwing stars, asp batons, other martial art devices are all also illegal to carry. However these new "spring assisted knives" seem to fall outside of the law and are offered for sale locally and even on ebay, im not sure how theyre differently than autos really -

Yeah in Canada too if you use the intruders weapon against him and you werent in a situation where it was him or you, you're in the wrong. If you over hear someone planning to break into your house and you setup a trap and it injures them, youre in the wrong, which means premeditating to use a blunt common object as a weapon is a crime once used. You can get around carrying pepperspray if it's labeled "bear repellent" it still contains 0.5% capsicum but is NOT "intended" to be used on humans. In Switzerland it's your civic duty to be armed and carry your weapon, things like the Gestapo I guess have made some nations edgy since and it's not a far fetched scenario as history has taught us. I used to think Americans were gun totting fanatics, and I never understood the obsession. But after taking a history lesson in high school and learning about world war 2 and American history i'd say this quote from Thomas Jefferson clarified it for me "tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry". the right to protect your family and property is a good right to have. In my experience police exist after the fact, to collect information and make arrests. I'd have to say I take a more proactive interest in protecting my loved ones cause after the fact may be too late, and wouldnt rely on the police to provide such protection with all due respect to the officers who put their lives on the line daily. I think if you murdered a burglar with his own weapon that he intended to use against you a jury of your peers would not, should not ever find you guilty. I know Louisiana has a "shoot the carjacker" law, which means if you're threatened with a carjacking youre within your rights to shoot them with out fear of prosecution, but then again Louisiana has other interesting antiquated laws as well... is it still legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet there?
