Looking to get my wife a decent watch since she’s over her Apple Watch. She doesn’t want to spend much over 2k... she’s petite & had a few starter thoughts but open to better suggestions:

1) Automatic Longines, but ones we like (eg dolcevita) look similar to cartier.
2) Manual Nomos, but only 43h reserve would that be annoying?
3) Quartz <$500 & buy jewelry instead, but no idea at that point what to get.
4) Or drop more $ for Cartier or lady DJ (though she doesn’t find it worth the $)

Option 4 all day, both are classic pieces that anyone can appreciate

Check out torneau second hand they were having a rather large sale and were doing a 500 off 2k for CSR

Yeah so that and may do a nomos or something there - wife isn’t a watch person and doesn’t want preowned lol

Tank!

Nomos orion

Not at all, i love it. No date means less hassle winding as well

Is she into watches? If yes, DJ. If no, cartier

Lol thanks all - probably shouldn’t have put option 4 since everyone is drawn to that. If there’s only 1-3 do ppl converge on Longines, Nomos, or 3? Haha

Apple watch + jewerly

I got my wife a Tudor black bay 32 blue for 1900 new

Hey B2B pre-sales and post-sales engineers (SEs and CSEs). How do you collaborate on a customer who closes?
* Do you have one pool of SEs who do both pre- and post-sales?
* Do you have separate SEs and CSEs and a relatively hard handoff? (SEs aren't really seen again after CS onboarding?)
* Do you have some hybrid model where pre-sales SEs are still involved to some degree post-sales with CSEs?

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

It blew my mind because this is a start-up too & that my qualifications don’t even matter.

Serious question, HOW do you guys determine what watches you want to buy/add to your collection?

I’ve got two Tissots that I got as gifts, and I just got a new job/bump so I’m treating myself with my own first purchase (and looking at Tissot again among other considerations) and I’m extremely overwhelmed. Serious analysis paralysis.

Picked up a 1997 (my birthyear) Coke today! My first luxury watch as I’m celebrating a few milestones. I’ve wanted to buy a retail Pepsi for 2 years and just got tired of waiting.

I love the thinner aluminum bezel with the smaller font and the red on black. The Coke is perfectly casual. The condition is amazing although it’s 24 years old - never polished, caseback never opened. Eventually I’ll get a rubber strap too.

I’m dying to talk about it soo any advice, questions, accessories, etc?

What are this bowl’s thoughts on homage watches (ie steinhart)? I own a BB58 and was gifted an Omega FOIS, but I don’t think I’ll ever have it in me to spend $10k+ on a Yachtmaster Rhodium or Sub.
