Hi everyone! I'm new to the community and have just stumbled upon this description of Authentic Movement by Janet Adler. I'm blown away by how much this resonates with my experience as a dancer that I've always felt but have never been able to put into words. I'm curious if anyone knows about opposing views to this method?
Hi guys,
Recently I brought back my genuine Datejust 1601to an unauthorised watchmaker, just because I needed the bracelet adjusted, just a quick fix nothing major.
I came back the next day to pick up the watch and to my great horror, the dude tells me the watch is inauthentic. So immediately I suspect him and tell him to open the caseback and show me. He told me he doesn't have the tool for it (isn't it literally the most common tool? lol) so when I got home I started anxiously inspecting the watch. Only to find out I can literally unscrew the back with my bare thumbs!
I have no clue on what the inside of the watch is actually supposed to look like or whether it's even possible for a watchmaker to swap out original Rolex parts with cheap ones so he can keep the expensive ones, or worse, steal the whole entire movement.
If you have any insight into this or tips on what to do, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

hopefully the op shitter i got doesnt crap out on me, but i dont have high hopes. if i can stick that dial on a compatible, better movement id be ok with that too. hopefully it doesnt come to that but i'd like to be properly prepared should the time come
I have an SNKM95 (the red Amazon edition of the SNK80x watches) and it stopped working. Took it to my watchmaker and he said the balance wheel is broken. He offered to fix it for me if I can procure a 7S26C (otherwise it would be much more expensive). I’ve been looking at eBay for a movement and saw this one being sold. It doesn’t have “Malaysia” on the rotor though, unlike the one I have.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Are there genuine 7S26C movements without the “Malaysia”?
I have quite a bit of Unity experience, however I am a novice in animation. In the past I have had someone else do character Animation aside from some Camera animation and simple object movement.
In this game I have large 3D Cube-like characters I made in Blender. Now a normal humanoid character will change in shape as they walk. But these block characters however do not change in shape as they move around the world, as they attack, and so on; they are always rigid and block like in shape.
They get around the world by rotating themselves. Most of the time they would move by pivoting on the corners of their shape. Here is an image to show what I am talking about. (Bonus Image). Think of moving a big cube of something heavy in real life by alternating pivoting it on the front two & bottom corners of the cube. That’s how they walk.
So by most means this is very simple animation: no need to alter a mesh’s shape. However I have a few issues that need to be resolved:
-
- The objects velocity is discontinuous: its acceleration is jerky. For a normal running humanoid all you have to do is play the animation as they run in a straight line at a constant rate (of course it can get much more complicated). But for these block characters their center is technically swaying back and forth as it moves, take a look at the picture to see what I mean. Also it’s not moving forward at a constant rate, and instead slows down as each “step” comes to an end. This is an issue because animations don’t normally move the object: instead the game’s code actually moves the character’s center while playing animations that look consistent with the object’s movement. But now if I were to take that approach I would have to figure out how alter the character’s center that is consistent with this rotating block movement, which would be a huge hassle. It would be nice if these animations actually did move the object depending on how the animations would actually move the object, instead of the animation basically just rotating the object in local space while trying to figure out what that movement would mean in global space in code. It may seem that rotating objects around a point in code may be the best solution for this, avoiding Unity’s animation system all together, however it would quickly become a pain to figure out how to do every animation only in code.
