Tubular lock - what am I missing?

Hello!

Moved in to an apartment with this safe. Got the tubular pick tools. Both 7.5 and 7.8mm fit in, and both seem to create a very similar impression.

Still the lock won't open. I probed it (assuming that's the right verb) for a good 4-5 minutes.

What am I missing? Should I keep trying?

Thanks!

Safe in new apartment, bedroom closet

Bought this apartment and moved on today. Asked the seller about the safe and he said they never opened it...

The keypad doesn't make any sound or light. Could it be that the battery died?

How do.I open it undestructively? I like the idea of having a safe at home...

It has a serial number starting with PGMAW#####

These two were hiding in a drawer for many years.

For some reason I was collecting those long before they were thoroughly researched. I thought they are very handy.

I think the date is 2020, not 2028

[Value Estimate] 7 beautiful watches inherited

A good friend's father left her these watches. She will not part with the Rolex that was his daily driver, but has no emotional attachment to the rest.

She was offered $23k for the lot (including Rolexes) so I assume they are genuine.

I feel $23k is low balling but I know very little except looking around on ebay.

WDYT?

Edit: Thank you wonderful community! Really good and thoughtful information

Saw this cool bird the other day

Took this picture the other day of this cool bird. Not sure what type of bird it is but it was captivating.

Inheritance - wrist watch

Got this from my grandfather through my father... I don't know anything about watches. Can you please tell.me how old it is and if it is spacial (aside from emotional value of course...)

I didn't try to wind it, read someplace it could be dangerous after a long time, so I don't know if it works.

Thank you!!!

What happens when I file a grievence?

I retained a lawyer for $5,000. The retainer agreement did not list hourly wage. A month later the lawyer said he needs to charge me another $5,000. I asked (in email) why, and he said that this is like installments and the initial charge was $10,000. I was under a lot of stress so paid it.

After the lawyer was unresponsive I retained another lawyer and asked the first one for an itemized bill. He charged $1,050 per hour - above and beyond any other lawyer I asked - and thus exhausted the retainer. The new lawyer was responsive and did a wonderful job and charged me $7,000 total.

Is there any point in filing a grievence against the first lawyer? would that get me anything?

Thanks!

Grandfather watch

Was my grandfather's, I don't know anything about where and when it was purchased.

It still keeps time, but not well... looses about 10 minutes per day.

Is it special? How do I open the back?

Thank you!

Found on the street and looking for its forever home

Can't locate my TI84 calculator to play with this. Any takers? I think it is super cool.

Place for old tech enthusiasts

Found Texas Instruments "View Screen" on the street. It is a device that connects to a hand held calculator and project it's screen for a class. I Can't locate my TI84 so can't play around with it, but thought that some collectors might have a field day with it.

Is these a community for obscure and retired technology? I'd love to give those to someone who'd find value in it. I also have a bunch of old technology I'm too sentimental to throw away (think palm pilot and Erricsson P900 cellphone) and would love to share

Thanks!!!

1900 Gold five dollars

Two of those, mounted as cufflinks but coin is intact. Is it worth grading, or pretty much melt value?

Thanks!

Fake party invite - site bortro.vu/policy.html

Got a very good spoof of a Paperless invite from someone I know. It came from their address and not Paperless so I was suspicious. The URL itself is very generic and doesn't seem to include and encoded data:

bortro dot vu, and the page is policy.html

I went to the URL from a secure browser and there's only a button saying "click to confirm" or "press and hold to verify"

I didn't see it asking for any details whatsoever.

It is obviously a scam coming from a hacked account. What is the end game?

Thanks!
