I’ve always really admired watches and have always wanted a datejust. I’ve been saving for awhile and my financials finally allow for it, allbeit a used one. This is my first time buying a expensive watch and with it being used I’m worried about scams! Any tips or best practices to avoid potential scams when looking?

If it's just a DJ, it shouldn't be that hard for an AD to order you one and eventually give you the call. Then take the time to save some more.

Hot take. Cut all welfare programs. Take the budget from the programs and give them as monthly cash transfers for All US citizens (with minor tweaks depending on number of dependents). Benefit paid out would be higher than the existing programs as we cut administrative costs and don't have to spend anything on figuring out who qualifies. If it bothers you that rich people would get this, then raise income tax on the highest bracket by 1%.

Is carbon steel supposed to look like this? I’ve seasoned, reseasoned, wash with mild soap and water, dry it over the stove, avoid cooking acidic foods in it and it still looks like this. It used to be way blotchy before but it has gotten darker on the bottom and has gradually moved its way up.

I don’t know if I’m doing it right. I’m used to the black patina of cast iron.

I am seeing this as an investment (1) dress to impress, and (2) eventually pass it on to my son who is an investment banker.

Please recommend in 3 ranges: around 6k, up to 12k and 12-16k. tia.
