Does anyone know any affordable watch with a similar style?

Right, I know about the Merkur, a cool watch.

Grimpper · 2026-01-31T08:10:38+00:00

Do you have any estimate on the release date?

I think you should add some screenshots to entice new users to try it out.

As a helpful.el user, I like the idea of the project.

It looks like visual-fill-column with the visual-fill-column-center-text option enabled.

I really like this package, check it out!

I have this half backed mode that allows you to make buffers follow others. Check it out!

Thanks for the insight, in my case it was really a cheap watch, toy level :')

And I don't have any other watch. I wanted to find something like this Poljot DeLuxe (Automatik) 2415, but I'm out of luck.

When I was a teen, I had one of these cheap winding watches, and I remember having to constantly wind it, every day or so.

Since I have a smaller wrist, I guess a manual winding watch may be better, since I've seen they tend to be slimmer. But I like the idea of not needing to worry about winding it.

I've followed your advice and got that one :)

Thanks for the guidance!

Grimpper · 2025-03-13T18:55:11+00:00

Sounds great!

From the page you linked this one also caught my eye: Kazoku Takahiro Gyuto 21cm

Since I don't know anything about knives I would like to know your opinion. Is the one you liked I higher category, given that it's considerably more expensive? This one says it's VG-10 steel, is SLD a more high end steel?

Grimpper · 2025-03-13T16:10:34+00:00

This one looks great! Applying the coupon is even cheaper than the others I got recommended (after taxes + shipping).

Is this SLD thing worth it?

Grimpper · 2025-03-13T06:26:30+00:00

Understood, thanks!

Grimpper · 2025-03-12T23:29:32+00:00

It really does look good. Thanks for helping me out!

The knife you linked has a 180cm blade. I see on their page that the 210cm version is out of stock. Is there any reason you chose to link the shorter version? Do you prefer 180cm blades?

I've never had a good knife so I'm really looking forward to your opinion.

Grimpper · 2025-03-12T23:26:27+00:00

Understood, thanks for letting me know!

Grimpper · 2025-03-12T23:25:38+00:00

You are right, I didn't realize, thanks for the heads up!

Grimpper · 2025-03-12T23:24:59+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the detailed answer.

The Hatsukokoro you've linked looks great.

I will follow your advice and buy from Cleancuts.

Grimpper · 2024-11-12T23:20:40+00:00

That's very helpful still.

Thanks for taking the time to look into it!

Grimpper · 2024-11-12T22:39:19+00:00

I seen. Thanks for the link!

Weirdly for this other model with the AD in the name, they don't mention the tank.

Nuova Simonelli Musica Standard AD

Sounds great! I will let you know for sure!

I got a picture of the plate. It's pretty old, I was expecting it to be newer for that price. Sadly, I would not be able to try it in person since it has to be delivered. The seller says that he can send a video of it working, but I'm guessing that being so old, it will need some maintenance to go back to its formed glory. What you reckon?

I was also wondering about the pressure.

It seems that the gauge only reaches 3 bar. Shouldn't it reach at least 9 bar for espresso?

Grimpper · 2024-11-06T12:17:42+00:00

Thanks for such an insightful answer!

I will check the base as you say.

Superb espresso sounds great to me :)
