not sure how this happened, but arrived at a restaurant and started to look at the menu when I saw something sharp on the side of my watch.
somehow the pin / screw for the last link closest to the quick release on the Bader bracelet was almost completely out. Anyone else experience this? I'm going use loctitie on it tomorrow...but that was quite a scare!
hi...I posted elsewhere that I couldn't wait till v2 and ended up ordering the V1 which arrived today and the unpacking /setup was uneventful other than struggling with the right grind, etc. (on that note, I know the mantra is Grind Finer, I'm not sure that was my problem!)
first shot took 55 seconds to get to 36 grams from 18 grams of coffee...some adjustments and I over shot and it was about 25 seconds. Crema looked amazing - really not bad, but I kept fiddling until I had leave for dinner...
anyway, returned home and wanted to try a few more...got everything ready, turned on the machine, displayed up as it was warming, etc. but unlike earlier, the display showed 115 up to about 118 and then bounced between 116 and 118. I tried running brew and let it go for 35 seconds, expecting the boiler to then cool down w the new water infusion...but it didn't.
later I tried to reset the machine...but even after coming back on with the 'fil' message, it quickly returned to 115 to 118.
soooo frustrating...any advice? I sent an email to Clive...but suffice it so say, not a good start!
First...I really love this watch. Do I wish I had the true GMT features? yes, but...I love the aesthetics of it. My other 'lux' watch is the Omega Moonwatch Professional...and this bracelet is just as comfortable.
Anyway, I was assuming I would switch to a sailcloth strap at some point, but I love the Bader. the micro-adjust (hopefully it keeps working) is so nice. today was in the 90's but started in the low 50's and a couple of clicks and it was perfect all day.
To my question. Is loctite worth it after I have already re-sized it and been using it? the screws all feel tight and honestly, I could not tell if any loctite was applied.
