Would it be distasteful to buy my first luxury watch with a sign on bonus? Thinking Omega Sea/Speed master. But open to other options or just saving the cash.

I’ll play contrarian. You just graduated undergrad - I can think of many better uses of that money. If a new analyst came in with a $6k watch I’d judge them...especially if you’re rolling to work in a civic. Is it necessary to literally wear your wealth on your sleeve? But hey, you do you

like

BC1 — You shouldn’t judge. You have no idea why they might have that watch (e.g., inheritance from a recently passed relative, engraved with something personal). It’s bad practice. OP is not a 16 year old bus boy; he/she is making good money and should be able to spend it however he/she wants.

How did you get intrested in mechanical watches AP1?

Gifted my parents watches for their milestone anniversary and became obsessed. I'll email you!

Don’t mean to interrupt the convo but...

MD1 what’s your “one watch” - daily wear, durable, couldn’t live without?

I still can live without my watches though :)

^Reverso is definitely on my list

The watch I really want haha

Looks good OP

Hello Watch fans, I took a leave of absence from consulting to work at a luxury watch store in Texas about three months ago. It’s been quite the change but I’m loving it. Not only do we carry Omega, we’re authorized dealers for about fifteen other high end brands too (IWC, A Lange and Söhne, Tudor, etc, but sorry, no Rolex, Breitling, or Cartier though, at least not yet). My name is John and the store is Timeless Luxury Watches. I would be so grateful if you guys would consider me as your watch source for future purchases (since I pretty much live off commission now...). Give the store a Google and feel free to call and ask for me, or email directly at john@timelessluxwatches.com. Thanks!

Feel free to add me on LinkedIn (AT Kearney) as well, since my full name is on the fancy business card for all to see.

Also, I just started the Luxury Watch bowl! Horophiles unite!
