I want to buy my dad a Rolex for Christmas but debating if it’s better to buy him one or take him to the Rolex store and pick one, thoughts? Budget is maybe 15k max

Put down a deposit with an AD and ask for an empty box to wrap and then take him to pick it out after the holiday. You could probably even work with the AD so that the day you take your dad, they only show him models in your price range.

This is tricky. I bought my dad a watch, an Omega seamaster, that he had always wanted but he was upset because I got the wrong color. So I say, take him.
Problem is, Rolex dealers don't have much stock. I think the cheapest watch my dealer had last month was the sea dweller and yacht master. After that it was all precious metal ones that were $30k+.

That’s disappointing to hear of someone getting upset after receiving such a nice gift. Ditch the blue seiko and get a white one if he’s that adamant about having a watch in each color

Just tell him how much you can spend. That’s a really dumb rich person problem

I manage a team of about 150 remote fe insurance telesales agents, recruit about 25 new agents monthly and am 100% remote. At one time we were paid based on our agents production but now we can only earn on their first month and a half of production. Is this common? What should I expect to make while managing $9mil a year in production. While writing I was posting $40k monthly. I made a lot more selling than I am now 3 years later and having trained hundreds of agents. Thoughts? Opportunities?

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

How much do you care about building a relationship with your AD and how does it factor into your buying decisions? I’ve bought 2 pieces from the same person (totaling about $20k) at WoS and they refuse to even put me on a waiting list for a Rolex OP. Looking at some other brands for my next piece that particular WoS boutique doesn’t carry. Would another WoS boutique care about my purchase history? Or should I just start over somewhere else?
