I learned of the existence of the term "hoplophobe", learned its meaning and learned of its application as a pejorative signifier.

I learned that the AUS post does not update their package tracking very well.

Impatiently waiting for my Ploprof after getting the "sorry we missed you!" Card. 馃檨

I learned that Seiko Bellmatic's are complicated inside and incredibly intimidating to a beginner. But 3 out of 5 are running again. The remaining 2 probably never will run again.

But the big question is, are the staffs in the right way up? 馃槈

I haven't worked on one in years, but always found them pretty straightforward to work on, but yes probably not a complete beginner's watch for sure. Parts can also be difficult to find.

Congrats on getting 3 of 5 working. 馃憤

Cheers, Al

I learned that I need to hit the Powerball or MegaMillions. I'm old and need a long break from work.

I learned the limit of my patience can always be improved. Too bad it's always in hindsight.

i just learned that, indeed, 'seamaster geneve' watches are real, not frankens/redials, and were made for a brief period in the late 60s...

I learned that my old Rolex runs 6 minutes fast after 2 hrs. And still only 6 minutes after 24 hrs? Wtf? I don't get it.
