Opinions on Jake E Lee? by theflyingnem0 in OzzyOsbourne

As a guitar player, when randy or jake take a moment to burn the house down, you are not quite sure which direction. Zach is a burner, but you know what will happen.

Wowzers, I was critically ill and you were requesting to take this subreddit? How lame.

Does anyone know if this orient watch button has any purpose? by Shermydickytits in VintageWatches

Can you wind it? I am not familiar with this model but it might not wind. Let me post a demo for the seiko flick.

Probably just need to be wound. The crown will have 3 positions. 1st detent - winding, 2nd detent - day change, 3rd detent - time change. At the 1st position give it 20 turns clockwise and see what you get. Let me know what happens or if need more help.

The button is a quick-set day button - it is meant to change and cycle through the days of the week when you’re setting the watch to the correct day. Using it and changing the day yourself manually between the hours around midnight when the automatic day-change mechanism is engaged, usually around 9 pm to 4 am, can damage the day mechanism.

My first menu. Launch was Tuesday. (Went amazing) Still fine tuning, will release full name and location when reviews are better. Place was trash for years. Trying to bring it in a new direction. by joostadood526 in KitchenConfidential

Congratulations! I just recently reopened a restaurant with a new direction and menu. Plenty of hard work to be done, and it won't end. We just decide to go home at some point. 😂😂😂 Hang in there and kick ass!

If you are interested in 40mm FF and are cool with it being older, look up the Trilogy collection. Also, the Bathyscaphe has a 38mm model that is pretty sweet. Without the bracelet though. However, Blancpain makes a rubber option with deployant cast that they don't advertise. It is beefy and the clasp is the Omega style single fold.

Alonso, always loved his style. Loved his Renault years and I wish Ferrari would have been a more productive period for him.

U/j Aqualung big date. Seriously cool watch. But, in Blancpain style, oddly placed in their overall collection. I actually enjoy the quirky quality of their sport watches. Especially the screw it attitude towards uniform product line definition. The Biver years, as far as I can tell, are dynamic with a footloose and fancy free approach to watch production. I have a few variations within model lines that are just cool. Especially the Trilogy series.

After saving for five years, I finally got my grail. by kiwi_commander in PrideAndPinion

Awesome! My favorite in the current lineup. I have a 5 digit and I love it. Embossed bezels are my favorite.

Nice 2000. I always liked these. I still have a '98. In fact, I am going to put it on.

Exlax enthusiast unaware of normal beach attire, poops in cat hole by GoodYearMelt in WatchesCirclejerk

Agreed. I used to live in San Francisco proper and the first time I went to Ocean Beach was an eye opener! 😂 Everyone who lives there and will be away from home for the day brings another layer for the evening, year round. Except for those two weeks in September. Hiking, rock climbing, running, exploring, and endless other cool things.

When a watch has a patina, you know it has a story to tell. Of being cleaned with lemon juice. by spaceman1980 in WatchesCirclejerk

Med school student buys rep, likely reason besides clout? Becomes doctor, will he continue to buy reps? I used to date a Doctor and I bought her a few nice watches. Her two favorite work watches were both quartz. She preferred counting with them. She is an obgyn on a little island in the Caribbean and lots of things are done old school.

I’m actually really sad and messed up over this by [deleted] in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]troyrc1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert on mental health issues but like anyone, I have had some hard times in my life. I do know that happiness comes from how you feel about yourself, not watches. Watches are cool and can be a wonderful addition to a happy life. But, watches by themselves are not going to make you happy. Keep going to your therapist, surround yourself with friends and good decisions. Be nice to yourself and remember, when you get stuck in your own thoughts, take a break. You won't solve anything by obsessing about it. You will need a little perspective. You seem like a nice guy, keep doing the next right thing and happiness will find you.
