  5. What are you playing right now?

    @ jody73- I played Lego Indiana Jones on the PS3 with my 6 year old son, and had a blast every time. he bought the cheat guide with his own money and pushed us both to complete the game 100%. we tried lego batman, graphics are great, just a bit too hard for him.

    We play Lego Indiana Jones on PSP, and we have tried a demo of Batman. But I agree, Batman is a bit to difficult (for him). Lego makes great games for kids.

  6. spring bars?

    After testing a lot of spring bars which I was not happy with (the rubber strap would not stay tight to the case/the spring bars became bent) I ended up ordering genuine spring bars for the 45 mm with rubber strap from ofrei. Now I'm happy with it and I get a tight fit.

    I suppose it would be easier to go to an AD and buy them (just leave the watch at home) :)

  9. Expensive tools

    When I first joined this site and got my first rep, I bought a cheap 30$ tool set for removing links and spring bars etc. After changing two spring bars and removing one link the tools were ruined. Pretty useless. I then bought a Bergeon spring bar tool and what had been difficult spring bars became so simple.

    So I figured when I decided on learning more about disassembly/reassembly that the tools would be half the job.

    Thanks a lot for your inputs guys. Much appreciated!

    Will send you a PM Offshore :)

  11. Expensive tools

    My ordered tools have arrived and I just need the movement (in mail) and I'm ready to start the TimeZone Watch School part 1 :)

    Considering these tools, which is just for the most basic disassembly/reassembly, cost me about 390$ delivered at my house it is clear that this is not a cheap hobby :) The tools for part 2 will be of equal cost. In addition this shows me once again how expensive everything actually is in Norway!

    Hopefully though these tools will last since they are supposed to be of high quality. In addition I might save some $ when I hopefully in the future will be able to service my own movements.

  16. TimeZone - Level 1 Toolkit

    Thanks for your comments guys :)

    Based on the TimeZone Toolkit I have ordered the same tools from a local supplier. About 90% of the tools are identical, the rest should be of equal quality. I hope that getting Bergeon tools, means quality tools and that they will serve me well for many years. Because they are not cheap!

    The price of getting it locally is basically the same as importing it from the USA. But if anything is not working, it should it is easier to complain face to face :)

    Now I just need to get hold of a 2801-2 movement and I'll be ready to start on the course

    Cheers

    Thanks for the input offshore :)

    I have not found a decent place to get quality tools in Norway. So when buying tools on the net from a different country I have to consider the postage and VAT as well. I have purchased a few tools from Germany, but the postage was almost as high as the price of the tools.

    By getting the package I think I might save some on the postage and I do not have to spend a lot of time searching the net in order to find a cheaper site. So unless anyone says that they know a site where I can get the same tools much cheaper I think I'll go ahead.

    Cheers
