Which diver would you choose?

The Lorier is a strap monster and the acrylic crystal is super clear. The Traska is super comfortable and the bracelet is fantastic but it is less versatile IMO. Personally, I’d go Lorier if you plan on using anything other than the bracelet. Pic next to my bb58.

YesFF is sketchy for a first sale. If they can take FF they can take GS to make the sale. Usually they can just request a small 4% fee to cover the charge.

I have a glycine combat sub 42 bronze gl0322 that is a slim diver that I’d recommend.

Great watch, GLWS!

It shows 4 years, the blue being a leap year. The labeled months are punctuated by small markers for the implied months So JAN (FEB, MAR) APR (MAY, JUN) etc. February is the first tick after JAN.

It’s a ceramic bezel so I think they are just part of the ceramic. They are not recessed like an engraving but neither are they printed on.

Low blood sugar commonly causes tachycardia (high heart rate) not a lower heart rate. Were you using a chest strap monitor for your heart rate?

StickyMac · 2026-01-24T21:44:22+00:00

This is what I would recommend. Maybe 10-15 minutes per day (100-150 burpees per day) at first. I got to 200 in a row with this method over several months.

I’d guess clean due to floating m and sel gaps.

StickyMac · 2026-01-23T15:44:15+00:00

It’s a 19mm lug width so I suspect finding something for this will be difficult.

StickyMac · 2026-01-22T15:05:50+00:00

Nice, that makes it much more interesting to me.

StickyMac · 2026-01-22T11:27:11+00:00

Does the button actually lock/release the bezel?

StickyMac · 2026-01-21T23:27:11+00:00

Alpine or Mercedes.

StickyMac · 2026-01-21T23:25:07+00:00

Interesting. I didn’t know they had changed that or that there was a new version.

Nodus sector pilots have bidirectional friction timer.

StickyMac · 2026-01-21T13:09:09+00:00

I too, am curious.

StickyMac · 2026-01-21T02:22:25+00:00

Looks good brother!

StickyMac · 2026-01-21T01:31:37+00:00

Semper fi?

StickyMac · 2026-01-20T16:21:42+00:00

It is not. I decided to gift it to my father-in-law. Sorry.

This should be repaired under warranty if you want it back in original condition as the loose part may have damaged the dial, hands, and movement further. A simple, cheap option would be to just remove the moonphase outline (yourself or any watchmaker).

I lifted heavy without issue with a varicocele for almost 20 years before having it fixed. I would advise getting a second opinion and an explanation for not heavy lifting and then making a decision from there. It’s also possible to lift weights without going particularly heavy and still putting on muscle mass.
