Need help fellow fishes. Want to gift my mom a 31mm op for her birthday and Rolex boutiques in NYC area are obnoxious to deal with. Any advice if and how I can make it happen by September?

Buy from a trusted dealer listed on Rolex forums and you’ll have it in a week. Your life is too short to be running after stupid sales clerks.

Buy grey. If you don’t have a relationship, you’re almost certainly not getting any Rolex quickly from an AD. Might be different if you were in a market that wasn’t NY.

Also, if you’re looking for a dial color like turquoise for example, your odds will be exponentially worse.

WOS SoHo has some very nice ADs. I went there with no purchase history. Obviously there can be a waitlist.

If you’re okay with used try the Diamond District.

As it’s been getting colder I’ve been dabbling in soups. This is a brie and mushroom soup paired with balsamic onion & mushroom toast. It was super tasty and really hit the spot. It can also be used in place of cream of mushroom from a can in recipes if you’re looking for a different taste.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.

Having a son (first) next year and looking for a birth year watch to hand down. Obvious thought would be a sub but open to other ideas - ideally want something that is classic and will keep its value. Would wear myself. Would rather have my name (or his) on the registration if possible. Any tips/ideas? Is it impossible to get a new sub in a year’s time?
