I'm sure you can do a lot of things better than the boutique can!
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if you knew more about the technical details about the watch than an average watch boutique employee. Most of them are not technically inclined.
The job isn't easy, but the job description doesn't necessarily have extremely high traditional requirements...
The job really requires the ability to forge connections with other human beings and to engage them in a way to sell products; I don't think a bachelors degree is required. Probably the only technical requirements for a sales employee are the ability to u...
These are interesting points you make..
Due to the nature and lack of requirement of certain sophisticated skills, and I would imagine not the best pay. Yes, I am not sure that you can expect much from these SA. But as you stated, there can be a big benefit from being an SA, like the clients yo...
Funny story - As it turns out pay doesn't always.... pay....
In my unfortunate time in retail strategy we ran a test to see if we could up our associate quality of service and retention by simply paying more. Seems obvious right? We went upwards of $50 / hour to attract what were on paper more highly educated and h...
This is great analysis..
And wow, 50/hr to be a SA? I would do that part time selling watches. But I get you, more than pay, like appreciation, investment into the SA, among other like factors.
I guess Per Sire Andy (fastwong)
His associates did a test with that high of an hourly rate.
$50 /hr salary, no commission...
Totally, super high. We just did it as a test. We used to run a lot of test for brands as part of our innovation and store operations practice. Luxury brands are almost all commission based and the associates hop between them based on which brands have th...
I need to look at the backside, how do I take off a NATO??
I think the green is good too. My wife said thank god it doesn’t look expensive or else someone would try to rob you, WTF, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks good!
Beautiful movement finishing, especially for a true sports watch! AP's Royal Oak is not a true sports watch as the watch's puny 60m water resistance can't even do snorkeling without some risk.
Congrats on the new watch! Love the movement side shots
No date 1315, the ultimate luxury sports watch movement!
Thank you, glad you like it Sire!
Hoping you will see or have seen, your wife/family soon.
Thanks for asking. That’s so kind of you
And the good news is: coming Sunday I’m flying to Amsterdam and will see my wife again for the first time since march 8.
That’s so great!!!!
Happy for you, this pandemic has forced many of us into seclusion!!! But I am glad about this.
Yes
And you know my collection haha so any suggestions are welcome. The 1921 will come that’s for sure. I was thinking to bring the OS as well but I’m afraid my son will then definitely steal it. The big gun the Traditionelle Perp Calendar Chrono is bit too r...
Absolutely not
I think you may have misinterpreted my words or I have written them wrongly. I’m finally flying home to see my wife again after 4,5 months. And we were discussing which watches I should bring with. And I will definitely bring the 1921 with me (after all w...
Lawyers bankers politicians
They never lie They just have their own version of the truth Haha. Yep will definitely let you know after all your the main reason for me to hop to Paris
Yes, I would stick
With the 1921 and OS. Leave everything else in the safe, that way you are covered for the Board room and the Bar. Leave the big gun at home, I personally, would only pull that out for a special occasion. But that is just me.
Appreciate our agreement
Here Sire. Please take some pics if you can, would like to live through you vicariously!
Thank you Dear Professor,
I need something to keep me company while proofreading you proofs. 😉😉😉
That’s what I love about Paris
Sire, the rich food, miss it myself. Oh, and the luxury shops. 😉😉😉
Thank you Good Sire!!
I am enjoying as of now, you need to get on too, so we are brothers heheh
I know I know, it’s not the best time to come over right now,
Maybe you can just bring a “body condom”? Would the be okay?🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I really like it, not the most flashy, but still
Luxurious, in its own understated, way.
Appreciate you boosting ego Dear Ed
Maybe you should have been a motivation coach. 😉😉 I really miss seeing your ENVY pieces!!! Hope you post something salivating soon...
Roger that Dear Doctor,
I need to remember that about ceramic, thankfully, I don’t plan on doing anything hardcore wirh it on. So my main issue would be the accidental drops you speak of.
Well Done You!
Looks like a terrific acquisition. You easily captured that amazing dial. Wear in the best of health.
Thank you much, 😉😉😉😉
The dial does seem to be special, trying to keep my health here, 😉😉
Thanks for the daylight photos, good to see what it looks like under the sun.
It does seem like a nice combination, case and dial/bezel. And the lack of a date is a big win in my opinion. Look forward to seeing some wrist shots in the coming weeks and months.
I will do my best to post more shots of it..
What green high end sneakers do you suggest?
You sure are making up for the quality with the quantity. ;-) Just kidding! Congrats on the acquisition!
Nice to see lots of photos posted. The green dial looks superb. And the movement is not bad either!
Haha, no worries, I need to work
On my photographing, Dear Nico suggests I get a Leica, I’ll have to save a little money first. I really adore the green dial, def better in person, sunburst is awesome.
The green dial is great Sire, I think
It’s a handsome piece too, I see you changed your avatar, any reason?
No particular reason
The old avatar has been collecting dust, so I changed it. Kinda makes sense, cuz it is a parody of the amount of screentime we are stuck with in this era.
Congrats on this very nice Blancpain!
Thanks for the “few” 😉 pictures. Enjoy it in health! George
Thank you, green is great!!!! I might put on the
Sailcloth, What you think? Or some other type or strap?
Yes, I bought one of their green straps on rubber!!
And I love they have quick release!!
Thank you Dearly, Sire, yes
Dial has to be the best part, and the no date coming in at 2nd (looking at you! Dear Counselor Nico!!!).
Good points, and yes!
Forgot that Gucci and green, are, for better or worse, synonymous.
Congrats - that green dial is superb.
Looks way better than the press photos. Will be an excellent mate to your blue dial VC. Enjoy.
Thank you Good Sire Andy.
Yes!! I think, as is the case, with many understated pieces, you must see them in person to appreciate the small intricate details. In this case, how the black brushed finish interplays with the sunburst green dial. Magnifico. It is truly something specia...
i think this watch is gorgeous
removal of the date on the full size bathyscaphe is truly a game changer. ever since i sold my steel bathy I have been wanting to replace it with the ceramic / blue dial - not having a date is really a tipper for me (I only wear the watch occasionally and...
Thank you so much Sire Stabilizer!!!
Yes, I had the blue dial in grey ceramic. I loved loved loved the piece, I felt the grey ceramic showed the finishing very well. I ended up selling it, kept thinking about it though, almost bought it again grey market for a good price. While I paid a real...
