GWCGWC 83 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Have you ever done that before? Looks interesting. I've entered many raffles but have yet to win one. I thought it was odd to see the exact watch in two completely different places on the internet so I figured I'd link you in for the off chance you'd want to buy a spot for $23 on a 1/100 shot. You seem like the kind of guy who likes a neutral EV long odds gamble and wouldn't mind lighting $23 on fire. I'm sure you recognize this isn't your standard to-go fountain drink splurge kind of situation here. Link to post Share on other sites

If the process was as simple as “put match to bills,” I would have done it. I just don’t know how the system works and didn’t want to spend the time to figure it out. I will definitely buy that watch within 24mos, and I won’t feel the slightest bit bad about it. I ****ing love the knockoff I bought. Some people drive $80k trucks, I drive a mid size sedan. I’m only spending a tiny fraction of that difference on this watch! Don’t doubt my ability to rationalize stupid shit. Link to post Share on other sites

The Rolex Milgauss from this morning filled almost instantly. I’m all for spending money on a luxury watch. I have a segregated savings account I’m slowly funding with the intention of buying a Speedmaster pro but I could swing back to wanting a seamaster planet ocean before I get the money saved.

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 if i posted either of those watches ronny would lose his shit. i like strat's, but napa, despite my love for you, i'm not a fan of that watch. not a fan of a skagen in general i guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hey, no skin off my back, I don’t care for it much, either. That’s just the watch I thought of when Strat said he had a knockoff. Link to post Share on other sites

Lose my shit is a tad strong. I’d just make fun of you for having three thousand dollars in $150 watches. Those were decent looking watches Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Proof that it’s not the watch it’s the man who wears it. Some of yours are ugly. My only thought on it, for me, is i’d rather have a nice watch that is timeless, instead of a bunch of cheap ones, like women’s costume jewelry, to be switched out based on your outfit Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I am probably going to wait for the $150 watch to stop, and then buy the real deal. Assuming I don’t win this raffle. I really don’t need more than one watch, and don’t want to buy a winder. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I find having a watch with the date is super helpful in my day to day life. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 i find i often look at my watch, but almost never to ascertain the time or date. its mostly an attempt to look cool at the store while in line near a hottie with a body. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I used to wear a Swatch as a kid. Then I moved on to a pocket watch. I remember at the beginning of college, my cousin's girlfriend was annoyed that he would use his cell phone to check the time. At some point it felt like extra hassle to wear a watch. Can't remember the last time I even noticed someone wearing a watch...maybe years? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have been working extensively with management on annual review data. Basically, because the firm converted to my scheduling system, it is easy to differentiate the advisors that hustle from those that don’t. It’s a good time of year for this type of exposure, and I think there’s a decent chance I get a good bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Wait, what is your scheduling system? I don’t recall hearing about this. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I basically changed our CRM so everyone has an incentive to book meetings in a consistent way. It has made it easier to track and anticipate workload. It’s eye-opening. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 That’s really cool. I’m always in awe at the efficiencies you find and wish I come up with something half as cool for my job. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Almost certain I got two new jobs with tutoring companies. Both people I spoke with essentially said that they want to hire me...so just really have to make it official. Now to decide when to put in my notice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
