·And coming from a guy with a titanium plate and 12 screws in his collarbone, the phrase “you don’t want to know how the sausage is made” couldn’t be more true.

·So I used to hand grind and do a French Press every morning, but when I started waking up at 4am for work, hand grinding has lost it's luster- I need the coffee made and ready to drink when I come downstairs.

··This Space for RentOn Mon, Wed and Fri I wake up at 4:30 to swim. I still make my Cappuccino. On the other days I make my Cappuccino AND make a pot of coffee using my Yama Vacuum Pot. I roast my own beans and grind it fresh every morning. It’s cathartic.

·Heh, yeah, I'd need something cathartic too if I had to get up at 4:30 am every morning...

··This Space for RentIn my house we get our aquatic fix every morning when our son watches Spongebob while eating breakfast. So I think that helps me relate to what you go through 😁

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerSo I sent my Rolex 1503 to the watchmaker for service and he normally sends me back a pictorial review of the service. BUT in the pictures was this one picture. This seems to me like working on an expensive Lamborghini and stacking the parts on the hood before putting it back together. Is it normal practice to place the hands on the dial when servicing the movement? I’m praying my dial isn’t scratched. I don’t have it back from service yet. I would really value Archer or others opinions and practice of what they do during service.
No, this is not normal practice.

·Solid drift off topic. Baratza grinder, roasted beans from a local coffee shop, and bonavita drip unless we go French press. We go to the aquarium for our water.

·Just wholly unnecessary. Zero reason to do that. I’d find a new watchmaker based on that one pic alone. There are PLENTY of fish in the sea.
But finding a watchmaker whose work you like at a price you like, may not be as simple as the “fish in the sea” analogy. Put it down to having tried a bit too hard to give you a meaningful pictorial report on the work he did. By now I am certain you will likely have discovered that there was no harm done?

·I’m still waiting on the end result.... it was shipped on November 8th..... USPS Priority Mail Registered from Chico California. It shows leaving Sacramento CA last night. Longest damn priority mail I have ever seen. It stayed in Sacramento for two days before it moved. I’m worried about it getting lost.

Too spoiled by priority parcel in Europe, where they mostly deliver everything under 24 hours!
Good luck!

·Something is wrong nowadays with the shipping, maybe its the pre Christmas time.. I am waiting since two weeks for a package from Belgium, where normal delivery is only 2-3 work days. But it is completely lost..
