Follow these rules and you won’t be upset:

10 Commandments of Watch Buying:

1. Only purchase new
2. From a reputable source with full box, booklets and warranty card, or an AD
3. After seeing and trying the exact watch on in person (for size, comfort)
4. If it is a timeless design
5. If it will maintain a large portion of its value
6. It is versatile and will be worn frequently
7. It is for a significant event, occasion, or achievement (don’t buy just to buy, or because it’s a “good deal”)
8. It is not too similar to an existing watch in the collection
9. It matches your current lifestyle
10. There are no specific design flaws or elements that will reduce the joy of wearing the watch

I have like ten vintage watches and I wish I didn’t...they’re amazing to look at, but they’re just not practical for daily use. They either have acrylic crystals, or questionable water resistance, or fickle movements, or fragile tritium. They’re more hassle than they’re worth. I had my “vintage phase” and now I value “hassle-free ownership”, which is why Rolex is what appeals the most to me.

What’s the reference number of this bad boy? It’s a cool version of the Aquaracer; I’d just be concerned about all the extra gadgetry going on...looks like a push-button second time zone adjuster, which is cool in theory (just like the big date), but if those are both modules on a base generic movement, you’re likely to have issues after a year or two of consistent use. I’d also see if I could find a review on a forum or a website before diving in on it.

What’s your budget?

Coming here with a substantive question with the hope that someone has more knowledge of this practice area than myself. My brother was denied a position at a golf course in Orlando because he has a med marijuana card for severe anxiety. Does anyone know if this is a contrary to any statute or case law? HR told him they are double checking their policies and they’ll get back to him in a couple of days. I want to help him prepare for that conversation if there’s anything beneficial he can say.

Hi All,

I’m struggling to book an F2 visa appointment on the ustraveldocs website and would appreciate any advice.

I see appointments throughout India but when I select and click proceed, I get a “no ofc appointment available at this location” error. In this constant back and forth I’m ending up exceeding the number of checks I can do, thus potentially freezing my account for 72 hours”
Any idea on how/what the issue could be for ?

I know Bitcoin gets a lot of exposure but if you invested in Stellar or Ethereum over the last year, you would have a higher rate of return versus bitcoin. For any new Investors, you should definitely take a look at other crypto’s outside of bitcoin.

Im very bullish on Stellar and Ethereum as they have actual use cases. I don’t really believe in the bitcoin inflation protection use cases.

Good luck 🍀

Fears of the new SBGE257 being too thick wholly unfounded. Two most surprising things about it on the wrist: 1) how ergonomic the case is 2) the subtlety of the sunburst green dial.

Searched the bowl and could not find a direct comparison. I have the opportunity to purchase a) Santos de Cartier Medium or b) Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36. Both white dials and SS. Tried them both on and am leaning towards Santos because it stood out a bit to me. Thoughts? FWIW, I only own a “mall brand” dress watch on a leather strap and am looking to upgrade.
