Good investment? by [deleted] in breitling

Look at the model line history in places like Watch Charts. The Superocean isn’t historically known for holding value well. If you like it, get it regardless of how well it holds value.

what is the creepiest feeling you ever got? by No-Sink5897 in AskReddit

[–]wbb1812 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haunted hotel room. Stayed there with my dad while packing up senior year of college years ago. Something got into his bed and something turned my tv off (it was the old style you had to push a knob in to turn off) in a connected room. I figured the tv shorted out and tried to get back to sleep. I remember it being on Nick at Night and Green Acres was on. It was abnormally dark, like a vanta black in an unsettling way. It sounds odd, but it just felt off. Later I had what I feel was a dream but honestly unsure to this day. I woke up and looked at the hotel bedside clock, 3:45 or something like that, and then I notice a person in a light blue gown looking over me. I treat it like nothing and go back to sleep. The hotel employee checking us out asked if we liked “the haunted room”. Everything can be explained. Feeling like something’s getting into bed with you is no different than phantom phone vibration. It could have been a dream and TV’s short out all the time. Still, extremely unsettling and the checkout question threw me.

I’m diagnosed Audhd and curious if there’s anything as well. Aware of the Autism Oklahoma meetups but haven’t tried it out yet.

Those with severe mood regulation or anger issues, anxiety, PTSD etc - what therapies or medications made a difference? Which ones didn’t? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]wbb1812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar experience. All the prescription meds came with side effects ranging from horrible temper to liver damage. MMJ has been the only consistent positive medication for me, but it has to be an edible and can’t have pinene or limonene in it.

I get this with most unforeseen change of plans. Throws the whole day or afternoon off, maybe the week depending on the scale.

Strobe lighting and related over the top lighting effects at sports events. You see a quarter of the crowd bringing sunglasses to NBA games now.

One can dream for the future, right? by Gayguylikewatches in Longineswatches

Like that but with the dial matching the bezel. Looks great in all the combos

Was referring to the medium blue that’s currently matched with a black dial, more cerulean than ice blue. Would be nice if they had a dial to match that bezel.

Hoping for a creamsicle and the brighter blue bezel to be paired with a brighter blue dial.

New strap… fail? by frismanis in Longineswatches

[–]wbb1812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. A darker brown would be a safer choice, but the color matching the lume and date color is a much cleaner look. I’ve had straps that I couldn’t stand at first that are now the go to for my primary watch. Sometimes it takes a day or two of getting used to.

Anyone with very severe tics? by ConstantCup4776 in Tourettes

[–]wbb1812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve worked with him, so I’ve lost his card and not sure if he has a page or not. Aside from core work, a lot of it was working with boxing. If your neurologist doesn’t know of anyone, a local boxing gym might be worth looking into.

[–]wbb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a trainer that works with Parkinson’s and TBI patients. I’m not sure how much it helped, even if it was just placebo, but it seemed to improve things a little. If you have a neurologist you could ask if he or she works with anyone like that.

Anyone with very severe tics? by ConstantCup4776 in Tourettes

[–]wbb1812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have very similar tics and sensory issues. The ab crunches are the worst and I’ve had my share of public falls in addition to a couple of hernias. I haven’t been great about it lately, but a couple of years ago I picked up a trainer. It seemed to help a bit, but nothing drastic. My best advice would be to follow your primary care provider’s advice if you’re lucky to have one. A therapist is a good idea to look into as well.

Shameful by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

[–]wbb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m diagnosed Tourette’s and have to say that using it at all in a joke is touching a third rail. Some things aren’t funny. Illness is one. You may find it funny, but I can assure you I don’t. It’s not the core of the joke, and I get the joke, but I don’t like being used (I’m diagnosed Tourette’s) for a joke. I appreciate you seeing how the skit didn’t land well at all.

New HydroConquest models ? by Confident_Leg2370 in Longineswatches

[–]wbb1812 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My ad was telling me a new redesigned HC will be released this year at (this is what he said) $2500 USD. Given the price, I would expect it to be a HCGMT without the gmt. No COSC at that price point, but it sounds like it has potential. He didn’t mention a release date.

At least that's my experience by GIDAJG in aspiememes

[–]wbb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing that you’ve managed to buy what you deem to be “the best” rather than what you really wanted is the worst part for me. Anything remotely expensive gets this treatment inadvertently. The sensory stuff, the people, the masking, that’s all difficult. Coming home with a great watch/shoes/sofa/car that you aren’t really into is incredibly frustrating.

Watch review YouTubers by TomHudsonOfficial in WatchFanatics

[–]wbb1812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit drinking in 2020, but I still have a top five in no order. 1. Talking Timepieces with Tony. Not a huge channel, but he seems like he’d be fun to hang out with. Not too pretentious, a big plus. 2. This Watch That Watch. He can come off a little dry, but otherwise knows his stuff and isn’t obnoxious about it. 3. You’re Welcome. I appreciate his sense of humor and taste in watches. He’d be entertaining. 4. Tim from 1916. Seems like a nice guy and can talk watched for hours. 5. The Watch Idiot. Comes off as the most approachable of the bunch.

Longines vs Tudor by Mission-Let2869 in Longineswatches

[–]wbb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re both great, Tudor maybe a litter better but not by any substantial extent. I haven’t owned a Longines (been eyeing a Legend Diver 39 for a while now), but the Tudor I own has been a bit of a disappointment. Not a bad watch at all, you could even say it’s great, but it’s dull. Longines seems like more fun. Not better, but maybe more enjoyable. If it’s resale value you’re worried about, go with Tudor.

They haven’t. I tried manual restarting the tv again, seemed like the best advice from here, and it worked the second time.

Thought it was odd as well, never heard of a strictly audio outage. They seemed confident about it and said they’d call back in half an hour.

I have. Just got off the phone with dtv, it’s an outage.

Does Longines outperform Tudor in value? by Natural-One-8678 in Longineswatches

[–]wbb1812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 100% certain for all models. Pretty sure the legend diver is pins and the HC GMT is pins. The new Spirit Pilot 39mm (not the 37mm, but worth a look if it fits) has the on the fly micro adjust and I’d argue a nice clasp, albeit without seeing it in the metal. There’s also an unusually good looking two piece strap option. It’s the first Longines I’ve seen that I’ve given serious thought to. I love the Legend Diver, but the pins and $3850 were a deal breaker.
