'I am a race car driver.'

 What a lying sack of shit.

He's got something similar to what I suffer from, some kind of mania and
 I'm guessing the forums trigger him in some way. It's sad because he's normal away from forums so far as I can tell and judging by what I've seen his mania is something he's heavily addicted to. This is the dirty secret bi polar sufferers don't like to talk about, their mania is both crippling yet highly addictive. Anyone who has done coke meth etc imagine if your brain naturally got you the same high only needing you to find your trigger. So, getbig triggers Brian and he can't help himself. Moth to a flame.

This is the first time I've read a post from you and not thought you were just a funny fella trying to troll the shit out of people.

I totally agree.  He has to have been high on his own brains supply to post that particular watch post.  He needs help to try to nip it in the bud before it happens (if that is possible)

FYI, deleting your reddit account deletes all posts by yourself - the threads remain, though.  He likely did that.

I wonder what the "big event" in his personal life is.  Divorce?  Mom is ill?  AIDS diagnosis?

If he called it that it may just be his usual hollow bragging.

Like getting accepted into some sketchy rip-off law school.

It's not possible. I think it's BPD not bi polar disorder. BPD is significantly harder to treat. At best mood stabilizers might might help but he will never stay on them for any meaningful amount of time

This is what it is. Love him and accept him or cast him away. The consensus seems resolute and I withdraw my defense of him. I wish him the best.

He won't last long on reddit. Terrible idea but not unexpected. He's addicted, somehow, to the Internet. Someone more insightful than I may be able to put the pieces together. But he's always going to seek his triggers. No matter what the cost.

Mike you’re trolling at an elite level so I feel dumb asking this but where have you dealt with him away from the boards?  Where are his good friends he’s normal with?

Even Bhanky making an outstanding squat is not enough to satisfy Getbig.
Poor Bhanky.

I've been watching for a while as I know he will eventually reveal more info about school placements, but I'm so bored of his endless streams of bullshit that I can't be bothered paying attention. He's all over Reddit giving it the big one about his watch collection, being a massive bodybuilder and race-car driver, etc. He's so desperate for validation it's insane.

He's applying to shit-tier online law schools, too.













Love how he's worn a Seiko for years but now he's claiming on Reddit that you couldn't pay him to wear one!

















Donating plasma and working at the library is a new lie

“I would consider these nice. I purchased my first Rolex in 2001”

He was 23 most of 2001 and he could afford a Rolex, hmm..

He conveniently doesn’t say how old he was or how he bought it.

Yes, curious that he 'went dark' and literally vanished with Mike after this life changing event, but has been spamming reddit left right and center with dozens of frivolous stereotypically boastful posts over the last few days looking for a new audience in his endless thirst for attention seemingly unabated

Was his being kicked off Facebook the life changing event?

Whatever it was, it looks to have represented a ready excuse to break off from well-meaning Mike and the effort to play the good guy, and move onto new internet fields where he can resume his usual main character syndrome behavior and resulting squabbles where he feels more at home

I have no clue I only chatted with him to help the last two weeks of prep for his show, after that he went snowboarding and generally seemed pretty....boring. The bhanks we get is nothing like Brian, he's not manic except online or so it seems. I was mostly gone during the last few years so his entire personal life and history here I am not familiar and honestly I'm not going to spend my valuable free time reading. I don't think he's much different than anyone else but I can see his insecurities would drive him to be receptive as he very much wants acceptance/praise. I was very much like that for years and probably knowing that I overcame I looked at him and was optimistic I could help him as well but after several very one sided conversations I realized Brian is all about Brian. Nothing wrong with that, it's probably a rational way to live, but not someone I would take seriously as a potential friend. Not sure this answers your question. I was a Facebook friend but if you're wondering if I spent any time looking into his personal life I never did. No interest there. I bodybuild, that's our only commonality. His taste in watches sucks. Nice car, nice house, alright as a dad and he works out. The rest is noise to me.

Fan of horology whoreology indeed.

Also - https://www.reddit.com/r/hallofwatchspecialist/comments/1pv07ck/103k_spent_mid_grades_or_cool/ . Getbig firmly entrenched in his mind. They known he's  poseur.

''A lot of people said it was the best collection they have ever seen''

Meanwhile most are telling him is collection is mostly garbage.

Getbig is a place of equality. You don't get a pass on here for being bipolar, autistic, retarded or depressed.

For what it's worth one of the most beloved posters (MattC) on here was all of the above.
