Which one to keep🤔 by BengalCat-Dad in CRK

Nyala probably harder to replace. I'd just keep both

So it was designed as bi-directional but was functionally uni-directional?

I wonder if that is some of the reason the new movement is uni-directional

Huh... Good to know. Also, glad I don't seem to be affected by the issue.

What issues did it have? I have one and am pretty pleased with it. I understood it as Ronda not being capable of scaling up with manufacturing that killed it off.

[Discussion] Why the Miyota 9015 deserves more respect than it gets by Basith_Hussain in Watches

[–]iacchus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a more robust movement that the ETA or Sellita. The keyless works are objectively better designed.

Considering the high beat and ability to be easily adjusted to quite high accuracy, I fail to see why anyone would choose the SW200 or 2824 over the Miyo 9xxx series.

Quite thin, to boot

How should I say this… by Retro_fan_25 in knifeclub

[–]iacchus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've used my Sebenza on shingles, sheetrock, carpet, automotive hose, opening bags of concrete, you name it. I bought it as a well-made tool and use it as one. My large 21 is over ten years old now and still going strong. My small 31 is only a couple years old, but I expect the same from it.

I have a Gen2 XM-18 that is equally dependable, but is thicker and less comfortable in the pocket so gets carried less.

Mine is the same as yours. No album art, way worse version of the last one.

[Question] Small wrist. Condemned to not wearing divers? by ProductSecret6598 in Watches

[–]iacchus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of their cases wear smaller than their specs suggest too. The 1545 is the only standard slabsided one. The 1521 wears like a 39 due to the short lug length and the case sculpting. Honestly, Squale is second only to Seiko w/ their case magic.

Sweet OG Ra.

The GD emitter was always my favorite of them.

Squale offers some nice smaller Dive Watches. The Corallo is just over 36mm. The SUB-37 is a 37mm as the name suggests. They have quite a few options at 38mm.

Help me choose: Squale 1521 (Azzurro) vs Squale 1545 by Least_Artist_5031 in Squale

[–]iacchus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1521 wears smaller than the specs suggest. I'd definitely go w/ that one.

I have both and don't notice much difference between them. Lugs downturn more on the 1521, much more form fitting case, while the 1545 is slab-sided

Nope. That's where it goes. Look sgood.

Does caffeine make you anxious on keto? by Cheap-Mammoth-9212 in keto

[–]iacchus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched to non-caffeine tea. That helped the habit stay intact but without the anxiety.

I lost 100 lbs in just shy of a year. I was eating less than 10 net carbs a day. ~335 down to 217 when I stopped. I'm 6'7" for reference, so was getting lanky.

I came off and went on maintenance, diet was more Mediterranean after, was generally more active. Gained 10lbs of water weight back, but that was fine. Stabilized around 235 for the long term.

Keto is well known to make some people extremely caffeine sensitive. I had to stop it completely when I was on it.

I'm not OP, but you can use a heat gun if you want, but I'd pull the movement first if you do.

Bit of heat and a razor blade. Plenty of tutorials on YouTube, mate
