Have been offered a 2 tone Rolex GMT Master 2 bumble bee. It’s not my top preference but curious if you’d take it? I worry it’s a little flashy. Would be buying new from an authorized dealer.

Buy the thing you want, not the thing you don't want

Yeah, I’ve heard weird examples of people having to buy a Datejust, just to get onto a dealer’s books. From there, they’ve had to buy a second watch, just so the dealer would discuss adding them to a waitlist for one of the models they wanted.

But rather than just taking their details and adding them to a waitlist for a Submariner, instead they were just being offered other random watches. It seems like an odd business model to just offer stuff no-one’s asked for, when you clearly can’t provide what the buyer wants.

And I’ve heard people regularly drop into their local AD, just to “show” them that they’re still keen to buy the watch. Apparently doing this bumps you up the waitlist, because you’re regularly showing interest.

Sorry, I’m here for a simple business transaction. You sell goods, I’m here to pay for said goods. I’m not interested in making a new friend, especially not one who just wants to sell me goods I’m not looking to buy.

I think that version is pretty fly

If it’s your style go for it.

I would struggle to find situations where I can wear something so flashy, but the watch is way nicer in real life than in pics

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
