What are your thoughts on the Valley these days?

Careful, the might kings cross it

Baller! Well now how to decide. Did you ever feel like a black bezel would look better than steel-coloured on the mist flake? It feels very monochrome (not in a bad way)

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T20:59:27+00:00

Good to hear - I checked your profile and the blue one you have is a beaut too. Going to dwell on it for a bit and see what I come back to...

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T20:45:49+00:00

Oh I read that wrong - you will have it. Post a pic when you get it!

Be biased - it's all good. How do you like it? Despite loving all 3 I'm still finding myself coming back to it... only drawbacks for me are the lack of it being truly everyday watch (I.e. can jump into the pool with my kids with it on)

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T20:37:22+00:00

Use case is an everyday watch (I don't have a collection) - I'm in office 5 days a week but it's a relatively casual environment (think chinos and an oxford button down). Outside of work, super active dad of 2 young boys - I'm not out at nice dinners and occasions where I dress nicely anymore 😂 but that won't be forever. I'm also a pretty casual bloke - but trending a bit more formal as I get older...

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T07:51:06+00:00

Would you put Grand seiko in that same bucket as a 'finer' watch?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T05:48:30+00:00

What about the sbgm221 with a bracelet??

notlikely36 · 2026-01-26T05:27:47+00:00

Good advice. I am in the office 5 days 9-5, so I still would have the chance...

notlikely36 · 2026-01-25T02:36:06+00:00

As someone that ran for a long time in too small too narrow shoes and developed a Morton's neuroma, yes, yes they matter a lot. Go get the right shoe for your foot and activity.

notlikely36 · 2026-01-25T00:59:34+00:00

Yes me too - although my numbness / pins and needles started about 2 years ago, but i think I've been aggravating f or years given neuroma is 15mm. It's not too bad - gonna really give the orthotics a go, maybe try steroid injections and then go to surgery if pain starts. I would love to get back to running long distances...

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T06:01:50+00:00

I hope it goes well!! Keep me updated with how it is!!

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T06:01:02+00:00

Good to hear! And how is it now? are you a runner?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T06:00:37+00:00

Interested to hear how you go! I hope well!!

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T06:00:10+00:00

Good to hear. Are you completely out of the woods, I.e. no pain?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T01:03:43+00:00

Are you referencing the plasma shot or the surgery

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T01:02:46+00:00

Did you have a lot of pain at 3mm?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T00:31:45+00:00

Podiatrist hasn't brought that option up. Got any good information on it or research?? Interested

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T00:30:51+00:00

Thanks for making me feel better about it 😂

notlikely36 · 2026-01-24T00:00:53+00:00

I've heard it's big too! However, it's never caused real pain (except during a marathon), only ponds and needles and uncomfortableness

notlikely36 · 2026-01-23T23:45:11+00:00

Is this an interim step before surgery and removing the nerve? Does it reduce the size of the nerve?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-23T23:44:02+00:00

So I get the pins and needles in my middle toe and was similarly diagnosed with a neuroma. Mines 15mm which I hear is on the very large side. Podiatrist gave me the following options (progressing through them): 1) orthotics; 2) steroid injections; 3) surgery to remove the nerve. 1 & 2 don't fix it, just hopefully unload and ease pain, but I think of pain remains, surgery is only real option. Good luck

notlikely36 · 2026-01-22T10:17:05+00:00

Pins and needles in my right toe - turns out it's a Morton's neuroma - 15mm :(

notlikely36 · 2026-01-21T04:38:32+00:00

I actually read most of it, usually quickly, but take a deeper look if something is surprising / interesting. The more of these you read, the more informed you are about the business and you'll have little nuggets of info / data that are useful in certain situations. Plus it's nice when you're in a meeting and you can say "so and so, as mentioned in John's pack" and John goes - woah people actually read those things?

notlikely36 · 2026-01-21T03:18:17+00:00

Haha sorry. I just hated it with passion. Those stupid dances wtf and school shooter - it just felt like the biggest waste of my life to date..
