Trying to give a friend advice on his first “nice” watch. He’d like to keep around 1K and likes the clean style. He likes the Shinola Runwell and I’m trying to figure out other watches he should...

Any advice for an experienced HR professional with SHRM-SCP? I was downsized from my last job as a VP of Admin wanted to go with Coordinator/Assistant structure. Been in HR for nearly 20 years with mostly generalist experience. Managed a function and/or people for most of that time. Senior level in my experience, but definitely not executive level. (Limited budgeting and PM experience.) Having a horrible time finding a new role! Getting a lot of interviews but no offers and getting discouraged.

I am 28, 3 years in, and love what i do. Dont like my salary but who doesnt? I am an introvert and am not sure if i will enjoy the sales process as i grow in the firm or contd..

Self-stet (v.) - when a pompous, egotistical “creative” person —who was hired to work at your ad agency for reasons inexplicable to the human mind as it has evolved to this point in all time/space — over-rides (or in latin, ‘stets’ - let’s it stand) the simplest suggested change, without logic, soundness of mind, reason, grammatical-correctness, and without pause or consultation from the subject matter team at large.

I suffer from anxiety and depression. I have bouts of depression once every couple of days and they last a day or two at least. I find it nearly impossible to get things done during this time. I’m already in therapy but looking for recommendations on what other steps I can take to alleviate the struggle during these depressive episodes and be more like myself?

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!

For those Zelos fans, it looks like they restocked a few previously sold out versions (Meteorite/MOP/storm grey/steel sky blue mako, satin swordfish, blue meteorite horizons, etc..).

This my be a weird question but I just started getting into watches. I want to make my first small purchase soon but I need to measure my wrist or do some sort of watch sizing. Do I just buy a measuring tape and do not myself or go to a store? Also, how much does it usually cost? I saw on Macys site that they charge $15 for watch sizing. Not saying I’m going to Macys but is that normal rate?

Thinking about getting my first luxury watch and going for a tank must. Do ADs typically offer discounts (I know boutiques won’t). If so, what’s typical given the current market?
