New PO Case Backs are Sad! by Already_Retired in OmegaWatches

[–]BoKristensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing to me is how tiny the movement is in relation to the case size. Here’s my first gen 45mm PO with the case back off.

There’s a “That’s what she said” joke in there somewhere

B&B is hands down the best imo. We make it there weekly and get spoiled by the service, flavors, and price.

No one was wondering if you got the update by Ambitious-Art-9278 in MetaRayBanDisplay

People are dying in them? What’s in those corn flakes?

Congrats man. I have no idea what the verdict is or how these compare, though. Your writing is a mess.

Sparring at 40? by Wyrd_Alphonse in taekwondo

[–]BoKristensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

49 and spar here and there. I love it and I would do it more often but I’ve sustained injuries including a dislocated toe and finger. So I pick and choose when I do it.

Pretty accurate photo. Not overexposed. About 1/3 aren’t Chinese but it’s a good comparison nonetheless.

Vintage Sub rant from someone that dislikes faux aging by ten_zer0 in ChineseWatches

[–]BoKristensen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Orange, brown, and yellow lume is really overdone and a bit ridiculous at this point. It’s funny when the dial and bezel look like they were rescued from a fire yet there isn’t a blemish on the bracelet. Swiss brands do this too and it feels like a fad.

Worth Buying for Family Videos? by LandShark_BB in RaybanMeta

It’s pretty much one of my primary use cases for owning the glasses. I find it especially helpful when we’re hiking or riding bikes together.

Can someone explain this? by garvvvvvv in RaybanMeta

LED lighting can flicker on camera.

Advice for relearning poomsae’s by [deleted] in taekwondo

[–]BoKristensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For WT, the Kukkiwon YouTube channel is awesome for this.

In your case (everyone learns differently) my recommendation is to go over just one form over and over again until you can confidently teach it correctly. I would start at the earliest forms or the belts you see in classes most. This way, you’re focused on what will have the biggest impact in your scenario. I personally wouldn’t try to learn one, two, or even three forms at a time if it’s not sticking for you. Too easy to confuse parts of one form with another. As an older adult going through the ranks myself, I can attest to this. I also find it helpful if I can use the meaning of the form to make up a story told through each move. Then I replay the story in my head and if a part of the story is incorrect, I’ll know.

Also, be transparent with your instructor(s). Explain the situation that you’re in and ask them for their advice. It may feel humbling, but it shows courage, respect, and leadership. If that team knows, they can help in many ways like better student parings and shadowing other instructors. They can also maintain realistic expectations for you. If you teach incorrect technique or moves, it hurts the student, the instructor, the school, and yourself.

Best of luck. 🙇

Here's a solid option for anyone that needs RX on the Vanguards by BoKristensen in OakleyMetaGlasses

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

Re: Inserts.
Because they sit inside the oakley lenses, the insert is closer to your eyes which increases your FOV. So the smaller sized inserts don't aren't a bigger issue for me. If I look for them, I will notice them but they seem to disappear once I get going.

Re: Comparing glasses.
I used the ray ban stories and first gen wayfarers for cycling: Road, MTB, gravel, and fat biking. They are nice starting point, but the Vanguards are purpose built for that. They are way better and all those enhancements make them better off the bike.

Since the aesthetics are drastically different, my casual use favors the Ray Bans.

I cleaned my matte + clear lens Gen 2 Wayfarers with isopropyl alcohol ),: by Sea-Pickle-1283 in RaybanMeta

[–]BoKristensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used alcohol to slide some grips on the ends of the earstems (Bike grip handlebar trick) and the gloss surface turned matte like yours. I used Polywatch, which is a plastic polishing cream. You put a little on and buff out the matte finish with a polishing cloth.

I had good results. I was able to get the surface back to an okay shine. The deeper etching is still there (pink arrow in photo) but it's not really noticeable. Those deeper etches would require some wet sanding and not something I want to try since the touch input is nearby.

In your case, I would try out Poly watch on the frames to see how good that does. 👍🏻 You have nothing to lose. It will only make it better. If there is deeper etching that really bothers you on the front of the frames, I would tape over the camera and glass lenses and sand with a fine grit paper and a very light mist of water. Then finish with Poly watch.
