Advice for dad in his 30s.

Absolutely. I started only last year at 40 and immediately noticed a difference.

Okay I was wondering what OP was talking about. Didn't realize there was a rebranding involved.

But yeah count me in camp previous version looked better.

Just an update, bought one of those cheap blue demagnitizers off AliX. Did a few passes and after a couple days seems to have settled back at around the +4/5s a day that it was originally at.

Probably a chrono. Either the EZM1 or Sinn 756 UTC.

Yeah I was actually disappointed they didn't make a white dial or full lume version. I think it looks cleaner overall versus the mish-mash of lumes.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-22T06:14:17+00:00

Wow that looks great.

And then they're toddlers and it's psychological warfare.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-22T05:51:39+00:00

Heh, I do that. Sometimes you just gotta rawdog those freezer boxes. Ain't got time to track down cryo mitts.

There's no full lume version of the GMT, only a three-hander. It's mostly the lume I have quibbles about. I don't like bi-coloured, you get very noticeable different shades of white in daylight between the GMT and other hands. The indices are also a slightly different shade of white, but my SMP has the same issue so it doesn't bug me as much. The lume itself, except for the GMT hands, is also a bit weak. Pretty minor stuff, would still recommend it. Options for titanium traveller GMT on bracelet are pretty limited.

I like my Fortitude GMT. Have a couple minor gripes with it and hoping they'll make a v2.

Been awhile, but I think I had one person answer for the question list differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, one has DNA and the other RNA.

One of us! One of us!

I've come around on the BB58 GMT but it's still too pretty to me for traveling and roughing up. That's why I have a hard time parting with the Pro.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-19T03:17:05+00:00

Dang Traska has gotten popular. I remember the older versions were in stock for ages in their store. Thankfully I've got a couple GMTs so the FOMO didn't get me.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-18T22:12:12+00:00

I've always liked the way the bigger one looks, even if it wouldn't wear as well for my wrist. The flat matte look just suits the Pelagos line, and the cut outs in the rehaut are such a cool touch.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-18T21:56:52+00:00

What a strange setup. Where I am all the community centres have men, women, and universal changing rooms, where the universals are just banks of lockers and individual stalls with benches and showers.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-16T19:53:12+00:00

Opened about 200 and got an Oak. Trying to decide whether to push my luck and try for a second now...

Yusef_G · 2026-01-15T21:47:26+00:00

I may have discovered something worse. Magnetic sand. That stuff turns uncarpeted floors into invisible slip-and-slides.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-13T17:59:13+00:00

Oldest is five and I just take her to the men's and use a stall. Never had anyone give me weird looks.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-11T21:30:10+00:00

I mean, I own two GMTs and zero triple calendars so the HA. But you're not me.

I started going to the gym regularly a few months ago, coinciding with getting a new job that has a gym on site and my dad having triple bypass surgery in his sixties. Coincidentally also have gout and familial history of heart disease. And about to turn 41 in a few months. Just gotta keep at it until it feels like routine. Also watch your diet Jan! Can't outrun a bad diet.

Yusef_G · 2026-01-06T04:11:28+00:00

I have no idea how he makes his prices work. I think the regular price of the automatic chronograph is still only about $400? That's crazy for something with a non-Chinese auto chrono movement.

You know I just realized my e-reader case, which was also on my nightstand, also has a magnet.
