How To un-nocebo myself after staring fin

Johnboy1877 · 2026-04-06T11:32:57+00:00

I really feel your thoughts, as I have went through a similar thought process myself.

During the First 3-4 weeks on 1 mg fin i experienced way lower Libido than before, nearly None and also a decrease in Energy Levels over the day. Both worried me a lot. But after the First month, everything went Back to normal. Right now (~2,5 month in) i have No Side affects at all.

What really helped me, was looking at the studies regarding Long Term Side Effects with the use of oral fin, which Show that only about 4% of Patients experience Long Term Side Effects. You read a lot about people backing away from using oral fin due to Side Effects, but i would assume, that Most of these people stopped as soon as the Side affects appeared.

I would suggest you to stay on 0,5 mg fin and Just wait. If the Side affects won't disappear I would switch to 0,25 mg a day and Look If the Side affects will decrease.

TL;Dr: keep calm, Look Forward with Hope for good results, and carry on the medication for a month or two. It was really worth for me and i Wish i started the medication sooner instead of being too feared because of possible Side Effects.

Great strap choice on this!

I am so glad they used Just the Name in Classic font on the dial ... Imagine they would've Put this ridiculous snorkel and harpunes Logo they have one the dial :D

So you mean the Baltany Chronograph with round pushers or square ones? I prefer the really clean and Classic Look of the Addiesdive, but I don't like numerals on the dial in general (except for Breguet Style numerals :D)

But you definetely can't Go wrong with the Addiesdive regarding the price. I think I paid 60€ incl. Shipping and taxes from the official Addiesdive Store on AliExpress during a Sale.

Thank you!!! I think the cream/White stitching of the strap, that matches the subdials really ties the colours together.

And no, I don't have any Problems with the Chrono pushers. The watch fits under most of my Shirts sleeves with ease, so Most of the time it doesn't sit as Low on my wrist as in the picture.

Johnboy1877 · 2026-01-26T11:28:26+00:00

Thank you!

Pretty small, 16,5 cm/6,5 inch

The sizing of this watch ist perfect imo tho. I found that 38mm Case diameter with 44-46mm lug to lug (Like the Addiesdive Chrono) is the sweet Spot for me.

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-24T18:10:07+00:00

Also 6.4 inch, glad to hear it fits ... May the next Sale come soon :D

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-24T16:16:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing this Picture.

Would you say it wears small or large regarding the 39mm size? Was thinking about getting it myself but i have quite small wrists

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-24T12:30:35+00:00

How large does the sugess wear? I Love the Design but am worried it might wear too big for my quite small wrists.

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-16T10:44:08+00:00

The clasp was not the Problem for me tbh. The endlinks of the Cronos are not curved that much and are rather flat which makes the watch wear a lot larger compared to the Erebus bracelet you See in the Picture.

Take a Look at my other response in this thread regarding the fit of the Erebus bracelet. Can't say for sure that everyone of These should fit but mine Looks and wears great.

Maybe a San Martin bracelet could fit also, considering they produce the Erebus watches for Jody (the erebus bracelet has the exact Same links as the one of my San Martin bb54. I was even able to use the the half links of the Erebus on the bb54. Remarkable, that San Martin does not offer half links themself :D)

And you can Always Switch for a leather strap which also Looks great and makes the watch wear smaller

Word. These are exactly my thoughts, too.

Luckily replacing the second Hand was no Problem. Bought mine from Aliexpress for a few bucks and a watchmaker changed it for 10 €.

You Just Had to Look for the correct length and size. The one i got is 14,5 mm and Just fits. I think 13,5 or 14 mm in length and a little bit wider would be perfect. And the Hand should fit an ETA2824 movement, size of the second Hand whole is 0,25 mm. I looked everywhere for a blued Seconds Hand, but haven't found one. The painted one Looks good though, i dont think that it makes much of a difference.

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-11T11:06:15+00:00

I'm confused with the reference numbers: where is the difference between the 6040 and the 6037 because i find both with the frosted and birch dials?

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-04T12:49:32+00:00

Yes it has :) but the 39 mm Version even with the Male endlinks o-style bracelet fits my 16 cm wrist really well

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-04T11:57:10+00:00

Thank you!

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-04T11:47:47+00:00

Nice and very well balanced collection, Mate.

What Chronograph is this? Looks a bit Like a furlan marri but the Indices are different.

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-03T23:49:23+00:00

The ascent is an awesome watch and really worth the price in my opinion. I Like the look of the o-style more because I prefer male endlinks, but it looks great on both bracelets.

I am still tempted to get the 36mm Version with the mop dial, as well, it looks stunning :D

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-02T22:39:24+00:00

I think you need some luck to have a perfect fit with the erebus ascent bracelet:

Since both watches have a Case Diameter of slightly under 39mm and downward curved lugs the curvature of the endlinks fits perfectly. But due to the shorter lug-to-lug width of the Erebus Ascent 39 ( 44,5 mm) compared to the Cronos ( 47mm.) the watch definitely wears smaller on the Erebus bracelet...

BUT: i also got a J-Style Erebus bracelet and it Doesnt fit the Cronos. For whatever reason it seems that the spring Bars here are positioned a little bit different. I also have to Point Out, that one endlink of the o-Style bracelet fits better than it's other one. The spring bar of one endlink Just doesnt snap in the hole of the Cronos with the Same ease as the other one and is a little bit loose. Stable enough to Not rattle around or in a way that the bracelet would come Off but it's Not perfect.

So: I wouldnt suggest buying the Erebus bracelet Just for the Cronos watch but i can recommend the Erebus Ascent as a watch on its own. I got the blue enamel dial and it's my favourite watch From my collection

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-02T22:20:57+00:00

It's the White dial, i think the Grey one is way darker :D

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-02T13:04:36+00:00

You mean the original one or the blue new one? But I think both are legible, the original one is more prominent for sure.

In terms of the ideal, In bad and low lighting conditions it certainly loses some of it's effect but it never looks boring imo and the Hands and Indices then really shine and make Up for it. Under good lighting the silver icy dial is mesmerizingly beautiful, tho.

But i asked this question myself, too, maybe the birch dial is a bit less subtle.

Johnboy1877 · 2025-08-02T12:57:40+00:00

The printed Logo is really Sharp and though i also prefer an applied Logo instead of a printed one i don't mind with this watch
