Comp: $68k
Net Worth: Probably around -$50k
Speedmaster Pro: $5500

I bought it for myself after finishing my MBA. I’m out of debt and make triple now what I did back then, but I’m always going to have the sentimental value of what my speedmaster means to me. Probably wasn’t the smartest purchase I made at the time, but I’m glad I did

Comp: $250k
NW: $750k
I started in this hobby a bit later. First luxury piece was a Panerai, spent around $5500. Buying luxury watches is not an investment (unless you are talking about rare pieces), it’s an expensive hobby that brings smiles to our faces.

Well said, my first piece was also a Panerai

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more. You know how you apply to something not really thinking that job would call back? Should I get an offer, what do I do about tuition Reimbursement? Do they send a check and tell me to pay it? Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
