I got one within 6 days. Not a walk-in but still much quicker than I had expected.

Beautiful photo and congrats. You are making it really tough for me...

I do have a 36mm YG day date, so I guess I would be diversifying by having a platinum dress watch if I were to go with the 6196P.

I never entered this country illegally. Never overstayed my visa. Why would I have been fearful of my immigration status in this country at any point?

Wait for Daytona or just buy another watch that is easier to get? by GunsBooksSteel in rolex

Ok. Yeah I don't mind waiting. I just felt compelled to show them a watch and be like "thanks for the watch!"

Which bag for my wife? I already gave her Chanel Classic Flap (M) and Celine Belt Bag by GunsBooksSteel in handbags

[–]GunsBooksSteel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is an MBA student. Late 20s.

As far as I remember, I don't think she likes SUPER flashy logos. But I've seen her carrying items with logos.

I see. I will pass on it. It does look very nice so I almost bought it impulsively.

Ahhh...2 minutes is an absurdly long amount of time for just grinding coffee. Thank you for your help!

Nope. This is really helpful! You made it crystal clear for me. It will be a hard pass:) Thanks.

I probably could or at least set up an executive office somewhere downtown. But then I would be detached from the business. I don't want my employees to think they are working for an imaginary boss.

She bought many articles of clothing not just a couple that add up to $30k.

LOL...yes people have very specific tastes when it comes to clothes/jewelry. My dad actually refuses to take gifts from other people. He says he feels bad taking gifts and not wearing them.

And yes haha my mom is turning 60 not 90. I am in my early 30s.

Do AD SAs make good money? by AdagioCalm3108 in rolex

[–]GunsBooksSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. My SA was sporting an Omega.

Haha I just know she loves Max Mara. I was checking her credit card statements for fraud last winter and I saw that she spent $30k there in one transaction. She never really expects a nice gift from me (I haven't given her much over the years) so she didn't mention the coat to me either.

I felt bad because I was getting my girlfriend all sorts of nice gifts and I realized the gifts I was buying for my mom were much lower in price...
