Friend just got a new Rolex Sea-Dweller from his AD today. He has offered to sell to me at cost. I’ve been looking for a Submariner for a while now, but it seems impossible to get one. Thoughts on the Sea-Dweller?

Your friend needs a kick in the nuts if he’s one of the people buying watches he’s not actually interested in keeping.

At least he’s passing it along at cost

How much do you weigh?

In all seriousness if you want a Sub just hold out for a Sub. It’s $11,700 for the SD so at that point you’re in spitting distance of a 124060 at grey prices. I’d go grey or hold out for a sub at retail. Not sure how long you’ve been on lists but they’re relatively attainable especially compared to a GMT or Daytona.

Don’t settle.

If you’re a big dude it’s a great watch. My buddy has one, and it is his daily.
Of course he is a 6’8’’ former college power forward, so it looks like a normal person wearing a sub on him.

Try it on and see if you like it.

Try it on, but only buy it if you like it as much or more than the Sub. The SD is larger, but proportionately excellent, so it can actually work with an average wrist and average sized human. I have a friend with one who loves it and he’s no giant.

I’ll take it if you want to continue the “pass it along at cost” train. Been looking for an SD43 for a while

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
