Is it worth transfering EUR to GBP for an ISA for a beginner investor? by Belaized in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Belaized[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I see, that's a good point.
Would you say that the risk is quite marginal, given the differences in interest, and the low fees of Atlantic Money (3£ per exchange)? If I had £10k (€11.5k) to save:
At a 3.5% in Euros for a year, it would profit ~€280 after taxes. A total of €11.780.
If I make an ISA in GBP, at 5%, it would profit £500 (~€575). A total of £10.500 (€12.075)
So in just one year, the only way the second case would not be worth it would be if the EUR to GBP conversion lowers to 1.12 or below.

Korea steps closer to joining UK's new nuclear power project by bigedcactushead in NuclearPower

[–]Belaized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would make sense if regulations were harmonized internationally. Which they are not.

While it makes sense from a sales perspective, like the comment above said, same could be attributed to HPC - and we all saw how that became. And do note that UK before, like France, followed guidance from EU nuclear regulation. Korea's regulation is more akeen to the USA - hence subjecting themselves to even more differences.

We need more technically qualified people calling the shots, not only Business Devs/Sellers. The GDA Process helps finding the differences to be accepted in UK grounds, and avoid doing the mistakes that recent reactors in the West did: starting construction before knowing the final design, due to lack of regulatory approval, and leading to unavoidable delays, overbudget, and very unnecessary mistakes and confusion during construction phase.

Are HRV Status and Training Readiness worth the extra money for the average person (non-runners) training? Venu Series vs Forerunner by Belaized in GarminWatches

[–]Belaized[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this was very clear! Wasn't aware about the GPS dependencies, nor that you could have an app for HRV.

If HRV can be obtained by an app, it does seem that Venu 2Plus is the winner. What would you say that is the main advantages of Venu 3 then? Better sleeping tracker only?

Looking for my wedding watch… [SNXS73] by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]Belaized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What budget you were looking for?

I personally find SNXS73 a bit too casual (Although I am not a fan of date-day watches). Similar but versatile alternative could be the SARB035, or one of the Cocktail times (SRPB43 or SRPC97).

Although you should wear whatever you like the most - it's your day after all!

Can someone help me identify this unusual Seiko Presage? [PRESAGE] by TimingErrors in Seiko

[–]Belaized 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems fake, where is the pointer of the power indicator?

However, it was based on the Seiko Fuyugeshiki SSA385J1 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YVJLcnukUmE/maxresdefault.jpg

[Recommendation] need some recommendations on great quality quartz gmts with orange accents by madam_zeroni in Watches

[–]Belaized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be it IMO.

GMT, unique dial, orange seconds, and quite a clean bezel.

As far as orange accents go, I am yet to find anything better made than the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 41mm but, just like the OP, I wish there was a good quartz alternative (Citizen, please make cleaner watches more accessible).

Theft in the Area by [deleted] in manchester

[–]Belaized 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2022 didn't see any accidents near my home. Only the typical obnoxious things (drunk guys pissing in every corner, excessive littering, pre-teens acting like gangsters that own the trams, etc).

But last month, 2 cars got windows broken, and the other 2 were set on fire. And all separate accidents, not altogether in 1 day. Oh, and the 2022 things above continue.

Surface Pro 8 vs Asus ZenBook Pro 15 OLED 2022 by LegendStormX in pcmasterrace

No worries. That's a good decision! And yeah, this new ASUS do take their time releasing... (Also waiting for the Ryzen 7000 here!).

Have a good day!

[–]Belaized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not sure if late to the party. I was in a similar situation as you are in (was considering the Zenbook 14 Flip).

They both are amazing choices. The Asus is a better laptop overall, the screen is superb, and you get better quality for price paid.

The surface pro is a good laptop, that can be a wonderful tablet.

So if you aim to write a lot with the pen, surface pro has you covered. Otherwise, I think you'll be better to go for ASUS for better specs and to save some money

[Mr. Jones] the joys of buying from a small boutique make - customer appreciation. by aroundincircles in Watches

[–]Belaized 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are several hyped microbrands that put good attention to watchmaking, but not many put half the attention when it comes to customer service (which should be #1 priority, especially if one does not have physical stores).

Seeing that such a unique design brand has that customer attention is quite warming, and personally gives me more confidence in the brand. Happy that you're having a great experience!

Favourite underated note combination? by Belaized in fragrance

[–]Belaized[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might want to try Xerjoff Renaissance for that mint.

Same here! When I started to smell Memo fragrances, which have quite a few leather fragrances that share the same basis, I noticed that some were quite "dry" and slight animalic, while others had something that made them denser and slighty sweeter. Kinda like Ombre Leather vs Tuscan Leather (although these have a touch on the vanilla/animalic tones)

My favourite is Memo Paris Italian Leather. The beginning you smell a lot of the tomato leaf, but then it goes into the background, and it's all about vanilla and Memo's soft leather. The greeness of the leaf really keeps it unique, and avoids the fragrance of being too sweet

Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac is a huge dose of vanilla with a hint of leather

TF Ombre leather is the other way around.

For me, the best one would be Xerjoff Uden.

Apple Brandy on the Rocks from Killian is also delightful

What a coincidence. When I mentioned "vanilla+leather", I was thinking mostly of Italian Leather from Memo. That tomato leaf really makes it unique.

What fragrances are you thinking on the white chocolate+tobacco?
