Surprised that nobody had started a thread by this time. I used two moves that are not part of the puzzle requirements.

I kind of lost track of how I got to this point, but I think it was just basics to get here.
There is a 1-3-5 xyz wing although I don't think that does much good.
A 1-7-9 xy wing cracked it for me.

Code:

+--------------+------------+---------+
| 9    4   2   | 7  6   1   | 8  5 3  |
| 7    6   3   | 45 48  58  | 2  9 1  |
| 15   8   15  | 2  9   3   | 6  4 7  |
+--------------+------------+---------+
| 46   7   49  | 8  35  2   | 35 1 69 |
| 135  13  8   | 9  135 6   | 4  7 2  |
| 1356 2   159 | 15 7   4   | 35 8 69 |
+--------------+------------+---------+
| 8    5   17  | 3  2   79  | 19 6 4  |
| 2    19  6   | 14 48  89  | 7  3 5  |
| 134  139 147 | 6  15  579 | 19 2 8  |
+--------------+------------+---------+

Having missed the exclusion of 9s in the 3rd col of box 7 there was no XY wing for me so I used the 19 W- wing in boxes 7 and 9 operating on the 1s in row7 to solve it via pretty much the same next couple of moves as the XY wing leads to!

A very quick one, with XY 179 (R7C3)

I like the sashimi x-wing.
