I’ve been driving myself crazy over the past few weeks, with my finger on the but “button” more than a few times.
Slightly different price ranges, but I’m stuck between two CW’s or a Longines hydroconquest GMT which I could pick up for around $2,300.
Any thoughts or experiences to help me with my decision? Or anything else I should be considering?
My VSF DJ (about 6 weeks old) has an issue with the date not advancing. Neither when I manually adjust the time past midnight, or if I manually try and change the date via the crown.
Before I take the movement out, wondered if anyone here could point me towards what the problem might be?
Thanks
Hi - i found that it was really helpful to hear about others experiences when i was going through my hearing loss journey, so I thought i would take a few minutes to write about my own experience and see if it helps anyone out there. Keeping in mine, that everyone’s experience will be different.
I have had some hearing loss in both of my ears for around 10/15 years now. My right ear has always been significantly worse. Around 4 years ago, i noticed a further loss which resulted in my getting hearing aids from Costco. They seemed to work reasonably well, but i still had pretty decent hearing in my left ear to get away without wearing them at all.
Fast forward to March of 2026 when i noticed a significant drop in my hearing in my left ear. Words and sounds were distorted and my hearing aids became less effective. To be honest, i really panicked, and was really down about it. I’m fortunate to live in MA and ended up going to Mass Eye & Ear which is arguably one of the best hospitals in the country, where they started the evaluation process and recommended that i get an implant on my right side.
Fast forward to surgery day - June 3rd 2026 - I arrived at around 10am. My surgery was around 12pm and i was home by around 7pm that evening. Feeling mostly fine, aside from the annoying cup i had to keep on my head.
The following days I felt very tired, and i am lucky enough to be able to spend most of that time resting. Once the cup came off 3 days after surgery, i really felt like i was starting to feel more normal again. Yes there is a sore incision behind the ear, and a little light headedness, but after around a week after surgery i was feeling perhaps 80% normal.
Two weeks after surgery i was cleared to start working out again, and resuming all other activities.
I get activated this Friday (3 days from now) which im obviously excited about, but know there is work to be done to get to my “new normal”.
Not sure if thats helpful or not, but that was my experience. Happy to answer any questions.
I’m sure that no one else will be as dumb as me, but I’m the interest of making sure, abs and publicly acknowledging that I won’t be making the obviously dumb mistake again, this account is a scammer. I.e. take your money and you’ll never hear from them again.
I’m not even mad about it, but pretty sad for them.
As the title says, im looking for a Rep Cartier Ballon Bleu from AF Factory. Preferably from a US seller.
