Couple guys are pitching in to buy our friend a nice watch for milestone bday. He’s not a huge watch guy but looking for something nice in the 1-2K range that’d be recognizable. Any recs?

Hamilton is a good rec. NOMOS is pretty good in that price point too

I’d go Hamilton in that price point. Or a used aqua terra

Can you share anything about his sense of style?

Absent any info, I'd pick something extremely versatile. A stainless steel 3-hand sports watch with a white, black, or blue dial on a bracelet, around 39-40mm

I'd recommend the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander as a starting point https://www.christopherward.com/int/C63-Sealander-Automatic/C63-39ADA3-S00K2-VC.html

Not as big a Hamilton fan as most others. Would look at a grey market Longines Master Collection for something classic, or a Christopher Ward for something a little more funky. Nomos if he’s got a design aesthetic.

Oh and I will say, you’re a better friend than I’ve got 😂

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM). I'm getting sick of being pumped up with empty praise if others are actually being rewarded with accolades.

Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch. It’s listed as $8,750 on Omega’s website; Geneva Seal (in Chi where we live) quoted me $8,200 all-in & they’ll cover tax; my jeweler knows a watch broker in NY who quoted me $8,250. I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)
