Today I understand how much color blindness has affected my life, and now it also hurts my feelings. This story can happen to you, my friend, so I think it's worth sharing.
Is it just a bad dream…
On the morning of February 5, 2020, I woke up feeling tired of listening to bad news about coronavirus on TV and decided to spend the first hour of my day watching some videos on YouTube.
How crazy is this year {2020}! It's just one bad news after another.
Give us a break 2020, I screamed silently in my mind.
And I can tell you this, what I didn't want to hear is another bad news…
At 9 AM I heard my phone ringing, and it was HER. The girl of my dreams.
I didn’t remember the last time she woke up this early during these lockdown days, so my first thought was “Something happened”.
“What's up babe? Is everything OK?”
“Yes” she replied “But we need to talk”
Oh, we all know this “we need to talk” phrase, don't we? Am I in trouble? Thoughts of ‘every’ possible thing I could’ve done to upset her just flashed in my mind in that few seconds.
“You don't need to say no more, just tell me WHY?” I whispered.
Today, I wish I didn't know why. Because the reason was ‘ME’.
My color blindness messed up my relationships. Can you believe it?! I still struggled to digest it in my mind for the whole day.
So at this point you probably think, so Mr. X how can something like that ruin a relationship? It must’ve been something else!
No, my friends, there is no mystery. My color blindness did mess up my relationship. How?
There are a lot of things a guy won't say or easily share, and many of those things can have a big impact on our life (relationship) without us noticing it.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR COLORBLIND PEOPLE
I was bullied back in school when I was a kid. Kids from other classes started to pick up on me when they found out I couldn't see some colors. It was fun for them. I grew up as a shy and not very social 27-year-old guy, who avoided too many interactions with “humans”.
Who feels uncomfortable going to crowded friends gatherings and parties with his girlfriend.
A guy who feels scared to buy flowers for his girl, just because “How the hell do I know what color they are?
A guy who feels uncomfortable going to fancy places, cause all I’ve got is 5 black T-shirts, a few white ones and two pairs of jeans. My dad is not a fancy dresser himself, he is a regular guy from a small town, so I didn't have anyone to teach me how to do this ‘outfit thing’, I wish I knew how to dress well.
Men’s world is different these days. The guys - they all look very stylish, dressing with brands, and it's attractive for girls. They have the confidence to be in any place with any kind of people.
But for me, with all the money in the world, I can't be like those guys. My color blindness affected me in many ways, and today I finally can admit it - February 2020.

In link true vintage-watch nerd fashion, the bracelet is my favorite aspect of this piece. Seeing what is so, so close to the link legendary Speedmaster flat-link bracelet executed in pink gold just gets link my blood pumping. Sure, Omega made a Speedmaster in yellow gold, but never pink or rose. This bracelet is so classically vintage Omega in its style and works incredibly well on link this Seamaster. Hit the Shop to get all the details.
This link brings me, at an admittedly lumbering pace, to the Casio Databank CA53W-1. I have never owned a Databank and have always been curious, if for no reason other than link that inexpensive Casios offer link a link truly remarkable amount of charm for the money. (I remain a huge fan of their inexpensive world timer, the A500, and let’s not forget this Reddit-darling that Jack covered a couple of years back).

In many link ways this release pays tribute to both Dimier link and Gérald Genta's original iconic design, keeping in line with the aesthetics of link the "Jumbo" models with a 8.1 mm thick, 39mm stainless steel case and bracelet, "Bleu Nuit" Petite Tapisserie dial, and bathtub-shaped hour markers and hands. The titanium flying tourbillon cage at six o'clock catches the eye but doesn't distract from the fact that this watch otherwise feels like a quintessential "Jumbo."
