Used Bc no one will sell them to me new

New!

Why new? Genuinely curious as contemplate my first purchase!

Used to go exclusively pre-owned, because I was deal hunting. Nowadays, my last five watches have been new.

New 💯

I always buy everything new because I feel most people don’t take good care of things

Recently my last two have been used, but lightly used. First owner and at most 4 weeks old, used. Earlier in the year it was all new. I prefer used with a little story.

First three were new but now I’m more inclined to buy pre-owned ( lightly used) watches. Im enjoying the process of finding deals

Prefer new, but I've picked up a couple of good deals with pre-owned. I've never sold a watch (yet) so I buy with the intention of keeping it.

I interviewed for a job at a new company, and the role would be a huge pivot for me. When asked, I gave the absolute minimum I would be willing to accept (my current salary) since I have no experience in the area. The company came back and offered an interview for a different role, much closer to the job I currently do. Is there any way to salvage the salary negotiation if I’ve already given them a low number for the original job I applied for? I’d like to negotiate a raise if I’m not pivoting

Hey Nagarrians,

I have a crush on a girl in our office...
We sat together earlier in March once in office, but didn't talked to her much as she was with her team mates(she is in another team/project)

We follow each other on yammer but not sure if she still recognise me.

How to initiate conversation virtually with her?

I am meeting my mom for the first time after 3 years post pandemic and going to pick her up from SFO airport. Her flight lands around 6 am PST. This is my first time where I will be driving from Sunnyvale to SFO airport and back (30 miles each) and want to avoid FasTrak/Express lanes as I don't want to pay so much money.
1. Does the Google maps 'Avoid tolls' option work in this case?
2. Any tips/tricks on driving such long distances?
3. What documents should I carry with me?

Watch insurance. Boring topic, but seems very important now with increased frequency of brazen luxury watch robberies. I’ve historically used Jewelers Mutual, but just switched to Hodinkee Insurance due to the ease of getting a policy and avoiding having to get new appraisals for each piece. Homeowners/Renters insurance alone didn’t provide me enough coverage. Just curious what other options people use?

Fell in love with this Sky-Dweller today at the AD. Never thought the gold and black rubber strap would do it for me. Is it normal an AD has this one in inventory? Thought Sky-Dwellers we're in very high demand. Anyway went there to put my name on the list for a sub no-date so didn't get the Sky-Dweller. But it's high on my future milestone celebration watches list.
