Does anyone own a Vacheron Constantin timepiece.
I have a Patrimony that I want to buy circa 2000 but I want to understand what are the costs of owning one that is approximately 20years old.
I only owned Rolex and Omega so far that I bought new so I never had to incur any expenses in maintenance as they did not hit the dates yet.

It’s gonna run you about 1k for the overhaul

Love the Patrimony line, so simple, clean and timeless.
I have the 1942 triple calendar, (although it’s too new - 2018 release) to have needed it to be serviced, but would agree with the two other posts. Vacheron would definitely send back to HQ to service properly depending on the work needed which would take at least two months...
But all completely worth it, from the reassurance that you know it’ll be done/fixed to VC spec and just the joy you’ll get from the watch afterwards.
Buy it, if you love it

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification.

I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

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!

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.
