How to tell swiss vs japan and 41 vs 44mm devil diver oceanographer?

Hello, scouting for an Oceanographer and have been reading about it. But looking on classifieds, most people don't share the specs. How can I tell which is which? I saw no codes on the caseback, none under 6 o'clock, are there any tells?

Anyone know a site where I can search for ended auctions?

I'm trying to find a Hamilton watch that was auctioned and sold without a crown. I saw it, forgot to favorite it and now I can't find it. The information was very important to me. Any ideas?!

Citizen Cosmotron Special

Can anyone help me narrow down the price point of this? It's the 7803 'Special' Cosmotron that resets the seconds hand to 12 by the press of the 8 o clock pusher. Also resets the minutes hand if it's withint +-3 minutes of 12 for accurate time setting. It's in working condition and want to sell it, not here obviously. Scouted the internet and classifieds, couldn't find a similar model. Thanks

Did they really remove the Platinum and other ranks discount codes?

So I've been using FJ for at least 3 years. I used it because of their campaigns that aren't available on other sites. 10% off Mercari for example given by FJ, plus another 10% off if the seller accepts to offer a discount, plus a 5% off added in the cart from my Platinum discount codes, made it worthwile, because you're reaching a 25% discount.

Then they started decreasing the campaign discounts. 8% off Mercari, 5% off, now it's only 5% off JDirect Auctions for example, only 8% off JDirect Fleamarket instead of 10%, so that reached only a 23% off with the seller discount and platinum coupon.

In comparison, other proxies even give 12% discount coupons for JDirect auctions and Fleamarket.

Others let you negotiate up to 20% off the product price with the seller and I've had abuot 50-50 luck with that, but it's worth it because beside the 20% off if the seller accepts, you can also add a 5-7% discount coupon in the cart at checkout so we have at least 25% off in most cases 27% off, but they also have a lower per item fee of 200-300 yen so it's better than FJ

I stopped using FJ to purchase anything from Mercari and the shops advertised on their sites. I only used them for purchasing from 3rd party shops that aren't on their site and then I'd use my 5% coupon from the Platinum rank e-mail to at least negate the per item fee or even get a small discount.

But since August I noticed I haven't received the same coupons. Now I have some 5% off Rakuten from which I never ever purchased anything, and only 1 coupon of 5% for all stores, not more that are tiered.

This is the final drop for me because it's not worth using them anymore without the 5% discount that was tiered. Now I can buy from 3rd party from another proxy, at the same price, but at least they have a 200-300 per item fee, instead of 500.

I'm sure many of you use their services differently and maybe it's worth, but for me not anymore.

Crystal gasket lube that doesn't yellow?

Hello, have a vintage Citizen where the oem crystal was just 0.1mm smaller than current crystals that come in 28mm diameter. I already replaced the oem white gasket with another that's 0.35mm the thinnest I could find, the crystal presses, but it catches onto like a few mms on a side and flattens the gasket. I'm sure it will fit if there's less resistance from the glass on plastic friction. I just need something temporary obviously, just so it can slide in there. Anything that doesn't turn yellow in time? I have silicone oil, water based lube, what else?

Any stores in Europe beside the official site and Amazon?

I'm trying to buy an Airman, but was hoping to find it used or at a discount. Are there any other stores beside the official site and Amazon? Can't seem to find any. Or maybe you can recommend some classifieds. I'm after the model in the photo GL0511

I'm getting unwanted contact from posting on a forum

Hello, posted a while back on a watch forum about repairing my watch. Since then I've received unwanted contact, basically they tracked me by my username which I use on other forums as well and messaged me about repair or about selling. I contacted the mods on the forum and they refuse to delete my post or at least remove the search words from the title. They seem US based, is there anything I can do to make them comply under EU law? Thanks

What did I do wrong and what else can I try?

Hello, Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, original screen cracked, bought AMOLED (with fingerprint sensor incorporated) screen first from a local store, installed it properly according to a youtube video of the breakdown, screen looked washed. I returned it, ordered another off Aliexpress this time. Installed it, screen looked good, all the right colors. Fortune didn't favor me and I broke it the 3rd day, I couldn't believe it. Ordered another from the same store, same product, installed it, now the screen looks washed again like the first time. They're basically the same chinese product, the first one was also packaged similarly. I tried disconnecting everything, mainly battery and screen connectors and reconnecting, but still washed colors, what else can I try?

100% duties wtf

Man how tf do they calculate this shit. I'm from EU and look at this. Total 9$, duties 8$, how tf is this normal and how can we not pay Aliexpress? On Amazon I can pick if to pay when buying or when the item arrives. Why does Aliexpress force us to pay when we're buying? They're scamming the f out of us, I'd rather pick to pay when they arrive because my customs won't bother with such a small amount anyway so how do we boycott Aliexpress? This is outrageous, they should at least give us the choice

Tool for removing bezels from the inside

It's the 2nd time I meet this situation, crystal shattered when trying to push out the bezel. I have two identical Orient mexicans vintage automatic watches, same case, different dials. One as you can see in the photos gave out, the other is left without a crystal and without means from pushing it from inside the case because it's not protruding so a die would hit the case walls before reaching the bezel edge. So I'm thinking I need like a backwards claw that would extends into the gasket edge and then lift up the bezel or slowly tap it with a hammer so I don't ruin the bezel edge. I want to mention I already tried the bezel removing tool but it's so flat with the case that the discs can't grip it and it slips so I don't want to scratch it further. Ideas? Does the tool that I described exist? A claw or a disc that grows in diameter so I can expand it below the bezel edge into the gasket groove, otherwise I'm out of ideas

Crown doesn't pull out after lever press

What could be going on here? Orient EM04 model 21 jewels movement, just wanted to replace the crystal and here I am with it on a holder, in crown's 2nd position a tab shows up, press it, I pull the crown, nothing happens, it feels like pulling on a regular crown without the release point pressed. I'm certain I pressed it, tried lighter, harder, it moves back in when I push the crown back in, any suggestions?

Are these coupons a scam?

It's the 4th time I try to use one of these coupons, I go for the lower tier to my total, doesn't work, I go for the lesser one, works some times, sometimes it doesn't.

How was Druski allowed to make fun of Jay-Z, Asap, etc when Jesse Collins produced the BET awards?

I don't understand how he's clearly a Drake fan, but Jesse Collins allowed him at the BET awards to attack his boss and other people that went against Drake. He also had Rick Ross on his Coulda been love show right after the beef. This post was made more in regard of the recent comments 'give him his Ovo chain already' when he's all over the place

Whisper my name and All love

I'm sure people already caught this among other lines aimed at Jay-z with plays on his old lyrics, albums, interviews, etc

All Love - Jay-Z:

"All that back and forth on the internet

Ninja, we don't tennis that, y'all gotta do something, yeah"

Whisper my name - Drake:

"You niggas be hittin' the 'net for some love, you a tennis ball · I'll take 500K, not the dinner, I never could learn shit from none of y'all"

But the most ironic line of Jay-z's verse is this one imo:

"Be those closest to it be the very ones that envy"

This line is almost like a confession. He always kept close to Drake with these features on almost all of Drake's albums, he kept himself relevant by associating with the biggest artist at the time. But at the same time he was envious, orchestrating his downfall, "keep your enemies closer" type of shit.

Meet your padre is a masterpiece

I see people bringing up this track in the comments and comparing to such and such, Gently, etc. Well, compared to Gently's wacky beat, this is a whole mexican corrida, a very melodic track with an actual band playing. You have to appreciate music, not just rap and lyrics to get the beauty of this song and is by no means a joke just because Drake's rapping in spanish and might sound funny to some Edit: Modo Capone is also fire on the same note
