You can buy lower end Montblanc, Junghans, Oris, and Baume & Mercier. Also depends on if your looking to impress actual watch people or just brand name people

Depends on how you define luxury. What are you looking for, meaning something that is beautiful, technically strong, brand to impress others, etc.?
Some of those can be done for under $2k.
Vintage it’s definitely possible, but they’ll need upkeep, won’t be robust, and probably won’t keep great time.

Seconded on the Longines - it was a more prestigious brand in the past so your dad may hold it in higher esteem wrt watches when compared to Montblanc

There are some solid micro brands. But nothing that’s in the true luxury range

If you’re willing to buy second hand then yes, you can find some luxury watches for under 2k. I’ve seen some Cartier and Chanel watches under 2k on The RealReal. Probably depends on how you define luxury though.

Try posting this question in Luxury Watches bowl as well. There are more experts can help you. Below 2k is a tricky spot because "real" watches are either below 1k (Seiko, Citizen, Orient) or above 2k. You can only get an used luxury watch in this price range. If you consider only brand new and want to pay more than 1k then I would say look for Hamilton or Oris. However I think Seiko or Orient are way better than these brands and a lot cheaper.

You can also go for vintage can buy some amazing dress watches around your dress point e.g. omega / Rolex

My last organization haven’t paid the FnF money to me and many others. I left the org in July 2021 but haven’t received even 30% of the amount. There are more than 20 ex employees who are facing the same issue. No one wants to get involved in a court case and thus there is no pressure on the org. They keep giving excuses of pandemic/resource crunch etc. They hadn’t paid the govt TDS for many years so now all the new revenue is going to pay that. Any suggestions on who to reach out?

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!
