Hello and good morning,  Just to say I find the new background a lot easier and not so hard on the eyes. brilliant. And as regards the moving question which Mark quite rightly nipped in the bud, I think Old Hippys suggestion  is probaby the right one. One cannot please every one but as said a compromise has to be found and informing the member his post was moved and why is a good compromise.  I am sure that we all have faith in our Administrator and moderaters to find the solution and continue to provide a brilliant forum which is open minded and informative.     Thank you Gentlemen your work is appreciated.

Hate to disagree. Maybe I'll become immune to the new scheme but I'd at least like the option to view things the way they were (or set up my own scheme). The problem with custom schemes is that once you customize it and you have a question, it's impossible for anyone to say: press the gold button on the lower right.

I wasn't aware that there was the ability to change the THEME from light to dark. The toggle is in the middle of the b0ttom of the page. Mine was changed to DARK over night. By changing it back to LIGHT things look normal again.

I suppose that as a grumpy old man I hate change but hopefully eveyone will know about the ability to change themes!

First thing when I wake up is to go to the NYT Wordle site (black and white) and then I turn down the illumination on my ipad (my eyes can't take it that early in the morning).  Then I go to this forum...I think my eyes will be happy.  Can somebody talk to NYT?  Maybe change their color scheme.

I have to agree with @grsnovi. I prefer it the old way. 😆

Let me see if watchweasol is an anagram  of wise old owl.  I am now expecting  a private message saying  "less of the old" 😉

it literally brings on a headache quite rapidly.

The good news is that you can change it back. You just have to go to the bottom of the page (below the YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter buttons) and select: THEME and change it back to LIGHT MODE. Apparently during a forum update a change was made and we all ended up seeing DARK MODE.

All is well.

That's great! Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed back and all is well 🧐

      Venus 178 hour counter creep

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Hi everyone, I put together a Venus 178 recently, but found that the hour counter "creeps" ie. runs when the chrono is disengaged. This is the similar type of setup as the Omega 861, where the hour counter is driven off the mainspring barrel, but stopped when the chrono is disengaged by a friction spring.  Am I correct in assuming that the friction spring for the hour counter driving pinion should be dry? I am guessing that the issue will be either the spring or the driving pinion, but while the driving pinion has some wear the spring looks decent.  I've attached a couple of photos in case anyone has any tips. Thanks in advance!

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.
