This is not a tool watch or sports watch, not something to take into the water. So the bracelet will never be as robust as a Rolex. I think they were going for a ‘dressy’ bracelet vibe - all polished and thin - but took the risk of looking ‘cheap’

I've been putting-on weight since Covid, so decided to do something about it. I've been jogging for years, so exercise is not the problem: it's just food. But I don't like high-quality food; I've never eaten a salad in my life. So this summer I decided to keep eating-out for lunch every day, but only eat half the lunch, take the other half home, and eat that other half as my evening meal. Yes, I'm hungry each evening for a couple of hours, but you get used to that. In fact, _shouldn't_ we be a little hungry each day, instead of simply eating out of routine? Anyway, it's a life-change that I'll do till the end, and I'm fine with it. I'll assess benefits in three or so years.
@sc1
@sc1 3 күн бұрын
Most people mistake ‘hunger’ for ‘not being full’. ‘Hunger’ is going 2-3 days without food. Naturally, we should not be full most of the day. Most of the day, we should have an empty stomach, and feel comfortable with that. if someone eats every 2 hours, that is what they will feel accustomed to.

So im obsessed with this watch and i think it’s so great. However it’s trading at least 10k-15k below retail for a barely worn one. From 2023. It’s hard because id prefer to get one from the boutique but that is such a massive swing financially. I just dont think that unless i was able to bundle this with perhaps a harder watch to get that i would be able to turn down essentially 15k worth of savings. I also ordered short straps for my 5226. Ive been waiting for 3 months. Have you gotten yours quickly? I had to put mine on a Delugs strap that is similar.
@sc1
@sc1 3 күн бұрын
My regular production short straps came in to my AD within 4 weeks. If you order a non-standard color or material, it takes longer. My custom made grey leather color took about 3 months. I’m glad to see someone else that appreciates this watch. if you don’t want to pay full retail, no worries, it’s ok to get this one the grey market and save some money.

@ yeah its a phenomenal choice. Congrats on it man. Thank you for the info on the straps. I’ll have to check in again with my AD. Its been probably more than 2 months now. Im just waiting on on the standard ones that come with the watch but in the small. It’s been a little over 2 months. They recently told me they were on back order. The delugs version of the light tan one has been holding me over. I have to say your videos of you wearing the 5226 and 5212 (which. I have my name on the list for) served as a source of inspiration for me

I don’t like having around the bulk of a watch winder. Honestly, when I put on my 5205G for a couple days, I just set the time and don’t bother to reset the moonphase/day/date/month. I only set them if I plan to wear it for a prolonged period of time.
