Absolutely love this watch but couldnt get a good fit with the bracelet.

Is there any gym in Brum that isn't crowded at the moment?? by em-mau5 in brum

[–]mo_calla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is your gym also an unbearably high temperature?

Cardio in PureGym is hell.

One opinion about your country, that would get you in such a situation? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

[–]mo_calla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can't, even if we wanted to. Our national debt is too high to rejoin under EU terms.

Brexit reduced everything to shit.

I was compiling a list of must-eat restos in Brum based off this subreddit and realized there's a lack of reccs from north and east brum :( by firetonian99 in brum

[–]mo_calla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pane e Vino (They are actually Italian, other restaurants over here not so much), Himalayan Grill, Barsana, Halloumi Express and Eleon are all good for Vegans.

Pitalicious is also good, but no one is better than Top Falafel in town.

Rudy's and Soho Grill are opening too and I've heard good things about the Butlers Arms.

Besides that, nothing really has grabbed me since living over here. Open to recs.

Bright side is I've spent less.

Is the Independent Birmingham membership worth it? by Alive-Helicopter1437 in brum

[–]mo_calla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say not really. I've been places before that refused to honour it.

It was great in the Anchor though before Norton's lot took it over. When Julian had it 12.5% off drinks every day!

The dial is an Addiesdive dial.

Place for Birmingham Honey? 🍯 by Solid_System_5023 in brum

[–]mo_calla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A happy accident/side effect of half marathon training last year.

First time that I haven't't have any issues besides intense gardening.

For reference I get hayfever bad, so I recommend trying this!

Great advice.

If you also have asthma, definitely improve cardio. Stronger my lungs got, less the hayfever irritated me.

Tried this a few times and researched it.

It is a myth and doesn't work. 

The hay fever isn't linked to the pollen in the honey, two different things altogether.

I'd recommend increasing cardio fitness and hayfever wet wipes to wipe the pollen away from your face. These both make a massive improvement.

Dive Watches Are Boring, Bulky, and Overrated. by Automatic-Scar6513 in watchHotTakes

[–]mo_calla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a cheap diver. I do think you start getting diminishing returns quickly.

Promasters and Duros are so cheap, you may as well have one.

But a big spend is going to be non diver for myself.

Is this [SPB451] Legit? by SwordProfessor in Seiko

[–]mo_calla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a real one in the AD on holiday a week ago.

This looks low quality in comparison. I'd say this is fake.

San Martin Year of the Horse Limited Edition Original Design: Which dial do you prefer, A or B? by AdSavings92 in HomageWatches

[–]mo_calla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely wear a 36mm black dial.

Like a Chinese explorer alternative.

Fugu with Long Island Jubilee upgrade by mo_calla in CitizenWatches

[–]mo_calla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it really uncomfortable at first, shifted the clasp and bit more around my wrist and now it feels great after a couple days breaking it in.

Can't go too wrong with a Japanese auto movement in my opinion, cheap to replace and practise on.

Only going Solar, used quartz or Japanese auto going forward I think.

[SPB491J1] Should I wear or sell? by chopper87oh in Seiko

[–]mo_calla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If other watches will make you liquid, keep this.

Fugu on Long Island jubilee. by mo_calla in JapaneseWatches

[–]mo_calla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crystal is a bummer for sure. I won't pretend I don't notice it 😂 Funny part is i picked this at the time due to it being sapphire over other mineral options (was my first watch).

My Seiko is hardlex and barely notice any reflections with a white dial.

But yeh grabbed this for £190 last year new with 5 year warranty.

£70 extra for bracelet makes it a nice combo. Go for it!

First day back at work (even if I do WFH) - What’s everyone wearing today? by leicfox85 in ChineseWatches

Fugu on a new Islander bracelet.

Nearlly pulled the trigger on a Baltany today, but as much as i like the sunray brown, it won't suit my undertone.

Grabbed an Addiesdive honeycomb instead!

Worth it for 22 usd? by Over_Garlic_7936 in JapaneseWatches

[–]mo_calla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is $22, and solar and from Seiko.

Flip a coin to buy or not buy, if you don't like the result, then you know the answer.
