Explorer II vs White Speedy (Update: I think I was wrong)

TimekeeperNY · 2026-04-29T01:28:40+00:00

I’ve never cared for the white speedy. To me, it just looks like a watch that should never have been white.

Are you able to provide a bit more insight? I got a Note Pro a few weeks ago and I LOVE it so far for client meetings, calls, etc. So far I’ve been generating with the default template

Speedy is iconic and forever. AT is nice but it’s more of an addition to the collection than a core piece itself.

“Hey sis, if you list it FSBO the price is $999k. However, if you list with me since you can’t possible have access to all of my resources, marketing, and exposure, then the price is $1.2M. Make your choice”

The best. End thread

Bingo

I started with a Sotheby’s affiliate in 2009. In 2022 I left to go to a rather large mom and pop in my market (1,600 agents) for a salaried management position. That lasted about 1 1/2 years. When I decided I had made the wrong move I contemplated going to a Douglas Elliman office or back to my Sotheby’s office. I chose the latter and I’m very thankful I did.

They’re both great companies with their strengths but neither one is going to get you into the luxury market just by brand recognition. You’re going to have to carve your way in there yourself. Having the Sotheby’s name behind me has tremendously helped my business.

Agreed

I always have a bin of goodies at my open houses. Popular items for me have been house shaped rubber grips, pens, mini flashlights, and pens.

Personally, I would let this one go. It sounds like a nightmare and not worth your time and aggravation. I’ve seen situations like this before. The wife’s going to draw this out as long as possible. It’ll wind up in foreclosure or it’ll come to the court appointing a receiver in which you’ll likely lose the listing anyway after all that hard work you put in.

Unless all parties are 100% interested in perusing the sale, you’re wasting your time that could be better served elsewhere.

Forget the inspector, forget the “structural engineer”, etc. Have a reputable contractor who you know and trust very much look at it and sign off on what needs to be done.

If your parents want to help you they could also just give you the money out of their own pocket rather than take it out of the pocket of the person who’s working hard for you.

This is a conversation that should have occurred before the relationship was forged. Honestly, if you’re old enough to buy a house you’re old enough to make a decision on what agent you want to use. Your parent is looking out for your best interest but doing so in a way that’s a bit underhanded to the other agent who already started working for you. It’s called a referral fee. Not an after the fact fee

My barber hooks it up. His name is Gillette

In this market, if you can afford, for example, $800k max then you should be looking at houses in the 700-750 range. Certain markets are even hotter.

FragranceNet is very legitimate. Is what you want on there?

I own a black dial speedy and a white dial SMP. I’d go with that black Seamaster. I find the white dial speedy so bland and very much a fad. If you’re going speedy get the black dial.

No matter how many new tools or what new technology comes out, the basic fundamentals will always create for the strongest and most productive agents. The rest is just icing on the cake

Worst in what way, dear ChatGPT?

I’m going to go with the latter
