Had put in a request for Wimbledon about two months ago and got the call this week to pick up. I was surprised on how quickly I got the call. It retails for 11k but I could not find it for less than 16k outside, so I know they have a strong demand. Did I just get lucky? Also, do I need to say thank you to the sales guy with wine/chocolates?

Is this satire?

What was the case size, bezel, and bracelet? That’s more of a determining factor than the Wimbledon dial.

Definitely do not buy the retail salesperson a gift for selling you a $11k watch.

I got one after a couple months as well. I’ve been waiting for a BLNR and randomly popped in to tell my salesperson that I would be interested in a 41mm Wimbledon/mint/blue dial in the meantime as long as it was on jubilee with fluted bezel. You’re a sucker if you buy a salesperson a gift for allowing you to spend 5 figures on a watch. The only pandering they are interested in is buying the models nobody else wants for the next 5 years while you hope and pray that they invite you to buy a panda Daytona

They should be giving you champagne and chocolates. Are you kidding?!

Congrats, but absolutely no gift for the salesperson. If you value his/her service and want to build a relationship, just buy more stuff from that person in the future.

16k on secondary market is wishful thinking. No one is buying it at those prices.

New 41mm, fluted, jubilee is in stock on Jomashop now for <17k. Anyone paying $16 for used is cray

If you were trying to get the watch in time for a special occasion and the sales person came through, I don’t see any harm in giving them a nice bottle of wine ! It’s not a must but I’m sure everyone appreciates a gift

Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
