Ok. My lads and ladies of FB. I need a watch suggestion in about the 8k range. Just got married on Saturday and wife wants to gift me a watch.

Second OP41. Or a DJ41 blue dial. I have one and love it. Great combo sport/dress model (just play with straps).
Cool case btw! What is the brand/model?

I’ll ask at my AD.

Thank you P1. I have a very strong relationship with an AD. Let me see the stuff they have on hand for any discount.

OP41 with Bright Blue dial.

I’ve inquired with my AD about one. It’s a solid piece that showcases Rolex’s amazing blue sunburst. I have a blue DJ36 that just wears a little too small, so I’m going to sell it and go for the slightly more subdued (thanks to the brushed case and no PCLs) OP41.

Reverso, IWC or Ulysses Nardin or a GO

like

Reverso or a Cartier Santos or if you have a bit more of a budget then get a Black sub

I’ve actually looked at the Reverso but not really a fan of the Cartier. Not a huge sub fan.

P2. It’s a wedding gift so wife wants me to have it like asap. Was supposed to be worn day of wedding but that’s a moot point.

Not seeing a proper diver. If you don’t like the sub what about a fifty fathoms?

This is a little tough, because you’ll never be able to sell it. Explorer 1 or OP could be a solid options as they are simple and timeless.

Get some haute horology. Like h moser or parmigiani or a used Patek or vc

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Looking to buy my fiancé the Speedmaster Racing current edition as an engagement watch. It’s listed as $8,750 on Omega’s website; Geneva Seal (in Chi where we live) quoted me $8,200 all-in & they’ll cover tax; my jeweler knows a watch broker in NY who quoted me $8,250. I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)
