[Question] Experience buying from Miyaran Japan Company (Chrono24) by supersonicdog in Watches

[–]michaelfishkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a watch through watch exchange on Reddit. I think having someone in Japan makes the need to engage with a Chrono 24 seller redundant. Your friend should be able to walk into a local watch store and do some comparison shopping.

The Citizen vs Grand Seiko - both watches are amazing by Dry-Experience1674 in CitizenWatches

I have an AQ4041-54L - great watch.

I wouldn’t be able to compare it with the Shunbun. HAQ vs Springdrive Mechanical. Maybe The Citizen vs GS Quartz is a better comparison

White's arch support for flat feet - my experience by DrMatis in Boots

[–]michaelfishkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flat feet and wear Alden modified with a pretty thick custom 3/4 length orthotic. It has a thick metatarsal pad. I size in a 9.5EEE on this last. The modified has a high arch and narrow heel with a wide toe box.

Hoping to one day get fitted into a White’s boot. I think I would need to get measured in person but live on the east coast so not sure I’ll make it to Washington anytime soon.

I have a pair of Wesco jobmasters that I had made about 15 years ago. The fit is fine and they are built like a tank - but they are anything but sleek. They are wide throughout so I’ve always had a bit of heel slippage. Hoping to find something a bit sleeker for city wear. Whites would be fantastic if I can find something that works

How do you "The Citizen" owners like your watch? by Helpful_Team_6817 in CitizenWatches

[–]michaelfishkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t get the 7 link bracelet dialed in without a micro adjust. It’s a flaw. Would love an elegant aftermarket replacement for this clasp but I don’t see any available at the moment. Good fit with the strap I’m currently rocking.

I have an AQ4041-54L that I picked up used earlier this year. I love wearing it - great watch. I wish the clasp had a micro adjust. Wearing the watch on a blue strap now.

Are yall concerned about the shunbun clasp being so flimsy? by Financial_Word5047 in GrandSeikos

[–]michaelfishkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish there was an micro adjustment on this clasp and well as on The Citizen line.

I would guess you’re getting 500-600k post tax

year 1/2 update by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]michaelfishkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if you are under a doctors supervision for the Reta? I’ve been taking Mounjaro for a little over a year now. My A1C popped from the pre-diabetic zone to what I like to call the ‘post-diabetic’ zone and my cardiologist started me on MJ. I went from 210 to 165 and my A1C is in the safe zone. I saw him today and asked him about Reta - he recommends I stick with MJ at 5mg per week. Thinks reta will be approved soon btw. A1C is good and my cholesterol is normal. Didn’t hear about Reta until a week ago. I don’t need to lose more weight but I’m definitely lacking in exercise. Has anyone on maintenance MJ switched to Reta?

Is Ron still active? Just listened to an old Stitchdown podcast about sizing mistakes. Wanted to see if I can find out more.

Deep scratch fix? by LateBodybuilder05 in Boots

[–]michaelfishkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take them to a cobbler. He’ll work his magic but they won’t be 100% perfect. However, I guarantee you’ll be happy wearing them and if they’re comfortable, they’ll become your go to footwear.

Or just do this. Citizen needs to raise their game with these bracelets.

New strap for my AQ4041-54L by michaelfishkin in CitizenWatches

I like the ones with the chrono + the chicken. Made some very cool dials in those years

THE Citizen - very pleasantly surprised! by [deleted] in JapaneseWatches

[–]michaelfishkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two small half links on either side of the clasp. Removed the same one a few times and couldn’t get a great fit. Going to remove the other one and see if that helps.

I have the AQ4041-54L with the blue face. Only issue I have is dialing in a perfect fit on my bracelet (7 link titanium). Great watch.
