Two perspectives:
1/ Buying “barn find” watches at auctions, fixing them up and selling them for a profit: I salute you.
2/ Buying popular sports models at shady ADs and putting them on Chrono24 with 30% mark-up: I hate you.

I used to. My knees can’t handle it anymore to get watches at the AD for retail

Full time watch flipping is likely doable...probably tough as a hobby or side gig unless you have plenty of dry powder to move things around.

Right. Need the scale to make sense.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Would really love to help my lovely sister in law find a job in NYC or CT. She is a certified nutritionist, celebrity personal chef (her current job in Aspen but she is moving to Westport in January) and an all-around terrific, dedicated, hardworking person. She gets down around the holidays because she's single and doesn't have kids, but is an amazing aunt to our kids. Does anyone have any leads in the health/ wellness space? Im in biglaw and this is out of my depth a bit. TIA, Happy Holidays!

Im about to purchase my first serious watch - thinking a GMT2 in a 116713 variant. I have a smaller wrist though, so wondering could it look to big?

Noob question. Do luxury watches decrease in value when bands are switched, even if the new band from the same manufacturer and is changed at an authorized dealer? I’m specifically thinking of changing an omega speed master bracelet to a leather band

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
