Is there a way to buy a gmt Batman retail? The double resale is not great haha

But seriously, if I really wanted a new Batman I would:
- be prepared to pay 100% up front and have the cash on hand or in a savings/checking account
- be prepared to wait a year or longer
- learn as much as I could about Rolex and the watch, thereby ensuring you want it because of its inherent value, not its perceived value
- establish trusted relationships with local and online watch communities (redbar, retail shops, Facebook groups, forums, etc.) and the closest AD
- be prepared to go to that AD very frequently to a) see if you get lucky, b) show them that you’re serious, c) become friends with them, d) prove you’re not just a jerk who’s gonna buy it and flip it (assuming you’re not a jerk and are not planning to do this...)
- use the network you establish in the community to help improve your chances

Find an AD that you trust. Buy a nice watch with gold/diamonds for yourself or your spouse (can negotiate up to 20% off). Ask to be put on the list for a Batman. Wait 6-12 months for a call. And head there immediately.

Hi guys, I am currently working in TCS but in vendor payroll with 4.5 LPA, they are doing a conversion to TCS payroll after working for a year. How much should I expect? They are offering only 15% hike. Also any idea if I resign now, can I join back to TCS again? Because technically I'm not in TCS payroll right now.

Hello! I am an aspiring front end developer. I have decided to go back to college, and I am considering the WGU, CompSc bachelor program. I really like the idea of a self paced program. I am apprehensive for a few reasons. I want to get as much out of a college program as possible, and I’m not entirely concerned with getting through it as fast as possible. My other concern is that potential employers may not take the degree as seriously as a state college. Love to hear from any HR or senior devs

Another FS post here: Selling my Seiko Marinemaster 300 SBDX017 that I bought from an AD in 2020. The watch is in perfect condition with no scratches or dents. The watch comes with the original box and papers (warranty stamped by AD), the original Seiko rubber strap, and an additional Strapcode Crafter Blue rubber strap (as shown in the pictures). Will shop across CONUS.

So I found a watch I love but found out it discontinued manufacturing in 2017. They have a newer version, but love it less. Is there a way to track down the older version through legitimate sites or stores?
