Power reserves don't bother me... I wouldn't mind a JLC MUT Reserve de marche, for example

Part of their design language. They have a lot of angles to their cases which really need a bit of thickness to work. Think most of the movements are on the thicker side too.
Dimensions aren’t everything. A GS GMT on the 44GS case at 14mm wears far thinner than a Diet Pepsi with the same thickness.

Isn’t the 56KS a 36mm though? To get the same angles on a 41mm case it will need to thicker, otherwise it would end up looking flat. Either way GS has been trending to smaller cases and thinner watches with recent releases.

The white birch (11.7) is thinner than the BB58 (11.9). There are some thicker and some thinner. To say everything is thick is just ignoring the size of the collection.

They do wear smaller than the numbers suggest, and outside of the divers and chrono’s they are very wearable.

While I won’t discount that the paper thickness of GS watches can seem thick, they wear thinner if you try them on in person. For example, the 62GS case watches (eg Sbga413 shunbun) include the box sapphire crystal in their thickness so the wearing experience is thinner. My SBGJ235 GMT is 14mm but because of the midcase, it wears thinner as well

The new movement is slimmer. So the SLGH range could be very interesting to check out

Hi Folks,

I had joined Deloitte India last June, with fixed pay as 15.5 LPA.
I have total 6.8 years of experience, Senior Consultant.


Now I have an offer from Mindtree, with Total CTC of 22 LPA,today is last day to accept the offer.

I know the appraisal is due in Deloitte India, letter will be released on June 26, my coach said my feedback was good, also scatterplot is good.

What should I do? Should I move on and put down papers or wait for appraisal results then search for opportunities.

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire
