Can anyone tell me what the process is like to buy a Rolex that's in a popular model in the Rolex store?

I have heard you have to buy other watches before they become "in stock" for you or joining a 2 year long wait list.

I also found that to be the general rule or you could pay a premium for grey market watches. If you know you want a Rolex it’s probably worth it to pop into stores as often as possible and see if you can get on a waitlist or just get lucky. For what it’s worth my watch shopping “process” took like 2 years and i completely changed my taste in watches over that time. I grew up reading and watching James Bond so i wanted a professional Rolex model and I had the chance to buy a Milgauss randomly when i visited an international store but decided to wait. I wasn’t in love with the color so i passed. Regretted it a lot at first but kept looking around. Ended up buying the new sea master because I liked the more sporty look and the specs/warranty were almost identical to Rolex. Now that i realize I’m the only one who cares about the watch i wear, I’ll probably look at JLC or Breguet if i ever buy another watch (though i wouldn’t be surprised if that changes too). I would just keep an open mind because even if you’re dead set on a Rolex you might find something just as good by the time you’re off the waiting list

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting. Still a blank slate in terms of tax experience, but I honestly do have a slight interest in international tax. Brought it up and I was given some names to find some work opportunities in that area. Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?
