The only reason I ever discuss measurements in terms of SI units is because so many people have no idea how the metric system works; hell, some don’t even know what it is.

Doesn’t make it any less pointlessly archaic and inconvenient system of measurement to use, and more practically still causes unnecessary compatibility issues with stuff like screw twist ratios and what have you.

Unless things have drastically changed since I was studying watchmaking about a decade ago, anyway.

And look what you did, making me agree with Medjed on something. For shame, really.

5ft 11in = 180.34cm
5ft 6in = 167.64cm
Real easy, it must be hard for euros.
