I frequently reach for my 143 instead of my Rolex SD4K

Seiko is good but a bit thick, Monta is nice but I’m not the biggest fan of the bezel. Between the two I’d probably err towards the Seiko.

What are your thoughts on the U50?

Microbrand guy and also a Seiko-phile here. My recommendation for a beater is the Seiko. Here is why:
The Seiko is a great design, I love the 62MAS homage vibes. It’s a cool watch that is super versatile and a decent value. It’s also a lot cheaper than the Monta.
I love the Monta, but I think it’s too dressy to be a beater. I think it’s a great all arounder and a great one watch collection. It has a much nicer bracelet and very good finishing.
The Monta is a nicer watch, but the Seiko is a cooler beater if you already have other luxury watches.

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
