Buying a dress watch and need your thoughts! JLC, Blancpain, or Breguet? Photos below. Thanks everyone!

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

So when exactly does one get considered as the “next year” associate? When does a first year become a second year? Or fifth year become a sixth year? Do firms differ with that?

who else sees tonsil stones on the daily in their bathroom sinks? disgusting.....

So... does the power outage mean we don’t have to go to work on Monday?

Anyone got some tips on how to meet new people / friends in the city. I am an Expat in my 30s living in UES working as Manager in Consulting. I have tried apps like Meetup/Internations but on almost all of the events I just encounter people not within same age group. I was looking into joining good social clubs / fraternity. Anyone any tips? Thanks also send me pm if you want to grab coffee/beer

Anyone know of life science or health care consultancies hiring at the consultant (potentially senior consultant)/manager level?

THRUUE management consulting? Thoughts / experiences?

I was offered a job today in agency that I really like. I can’t take it because it implies moving to another city and loosing the stability that my wife’s income brings to our household.

Clinical nurse trainers in Chicago are and what do they make?

How much liquidity would you currently consider comfortable for a large firm in this market?

If you're open minded to alternatives I recommend looking into Ayahuasca. It is a plant medicine that has been used in south America for years and it can change your life. Full story in comments.

New to luxury watches. If I were to wear one watch that makes a statement without being too flashy, which one should it be.

I am seeing this as an investment (1) dress to impress, and (2) eventually pass it on to my son who is an investment banker.

Please recommend in 3 ranges: around 6k, up to 12k and 12-16k. tia.

Hi, I’m in the market for a new watch and I have narrowed it down to a few options. Wanted to get some thoughts on the following:
Patek Philippe Calatrava 5227R Rose Gold, Vacheron Constantine Patrimony Manual-Winding Rose Gold, VC Fiftysix Rose Gold, and A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Automatic Pink Gold.
Thanks!

Debating two Grand Seiko GMTs: SBGJ203 (hi-beat) and SBGE213 (spring drive and I think it’s discontinued so would have to go second hand). Does anyone have an opinion/experience with these pieces or other GMT suggestions?

Probably a silly question - finally in a position where I can buy my first Rolex. Anyone know how difficult it is to get a jubilee/fluted blue dial 36mm DJ at an AD?

Can anyone give recommendations for best places to sell watches? Looking to trim down on my collection and wanted to find ways to sell without having to pay heavy transaction fees like on eBay

Noob question, appreciate your help. What are the main differences between the 2020 sub and previous subs (the classic, black, no date)? I can google but am hoping for the additional insight of this group.
Would you buy a 2020 sub?

Is tourbillon the most accurate and best overall mechanism? They are all so ungodly expensive I have to imagine that it would be the case

Given COVID, do you think watch prices in the secondary market will come down (e.g., Breitling and Rolex)

What’s your favorite blue dial dive watch? Gotta be all steel, though.

Guys, you were right. GS never did it for me, but then yesterday I happened to be at a jeweler who carried them and I tried them on and experienced them first hand for the very first time. The skyflake especially, but the details of those watches are absolutely impeccable. They’re stunning in the flesh. I was wrong this whole time and I’m sorry. Sincerely, a reborn GS fan.

May sound really weird but I’m convinced my wrist size changes dramatically all the time. They’re already really small but today my watch was loose and in a week it could be back to normal...

How long is the wait for a new sub?

Best watch to wear for client meetings for me ? Don’t want to seem like a dbag but I do like nice things so I want something that is nice but maybe flies under the radar.
