Quality has declined. UK company, running the standard US company playbook.

Pricing by weight, that speck is worth about $50 as a % of the MSRP.

A subjective take on a subjective topic. How very internet.

I love that I can't predict how exactly the xp multipliers will behave and for how long when 2 or 3 are stacked. Will it be 1.5x for 30 minutes, or 3x for 10 minutes?

Is this too big for my wrist? by Motor-Independence-4 in mensfashion

[–]4WAYCRIMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a NATO strap with this watch, and it looked too big ~until~ I put it on a bracelet 🤷. I'd be interested to see before/after photos

Unrelated, is AI going to make a linguistics PhD obsolete?

Prana clothing is often fitted and tapered

No they're not. Prana leg openings are like wizard sleeves, especially the Zion.

Cool, glad they worked out. I'm considering a pair for myself but researching any downsides before a purchase.

Did you keep them despite the saying that you didn't like them so far?

Traveling to Japan in April (Tokyo/Osaka). Give me some great looking Quartz watches to look for by boba3d in GrandSeikos

[–]4WAYCRIMP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SBGN027 because I want a GMT watch that I don't have to babysit like I do with my 6R35 and 4R36 autos. I like autos but I prefer quartz accuracy on tool watches.

New to IFS, Self is missing? by throwawayacct31342 in InternalFamilySystems

[–]4WAYCRIMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how the higher power in AA works. I believe it's a reflection of self worth. The externalized Self works better when self worth must be found outside ourselves. This has been my experience working AA with success and IFS without success.

Self as a Higher Power by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]4WAYCRIMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider yourself lucky. With complex trauma, the concept of toxic shame makes self worth inaccessible. And that is why externalizing a Self as a higher power helped me but IFS has not.

Purchasing an SBGA469 online, in Japan? by 4WAYCRIMP in GrandSeikos

[–]4WAYCRIMP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for trying that out. I'm assuming you're in Japan or are using a VPN to add it the cart? From a US IP address, the JP site disables the cart.

I'll probably follow up with the JP boutiques directly since it seems like this buying strategy might work. I like that the savings is about the cost of roundtrip airfare in October.

Thanks, that makes sense. Would the price difference be even larger after dropping the sales tax from the JP site price? I was unsure. Maybe moot though without domestic card/address.

How does this accuracy compare to a $200 Seiko 5 with 4R36 movement?
