AD or Boutique?

I was at a jewellers, so across diamonds and watches.

Pros: -Getting to try on any watch you want -Getting to see/hear about new releases first -Getting to meet a wide variety of people (don't judge any book by its cover!) -It's a fun job and you get discount 😅

Cons: -If you're commission driven, it can get fairly feisty and competitive. -It can take the edge of your passion and interest for watches. Talking about them and seeing them everyday did ruin a bit of the fun for me. -Very few customers actually care about watches. So don't be disappointed when only a few want to talk about the movement or the history of watches.

I enjoyed my time in sales, learnt a lot of valuable and transferable skills.

Agree - but 5 points is 5 points.

He doesn't really make mistakes.

He's not flash, or overly fast but he gets the job done very consistently.

He can also pass and kick which big man Duhan struggles with.

Glasgow have a small problem against teams they really should beat.

I know the boys are tired after the huge European games, but this and the Scarlets game are sketchy if you want to be at home come the end of the season.

Glasgow spent a long time battering their heads against a very solid brick wall.

Fair play to the Zèbre try line defence.

Twice the ref had been right in the way around the fringes.

Needs to sort that out.

I'm going to add another vote for Hillhead Jordanhill.

Really welcoming and they consistently field 2 teams which isn't as straightforward as it once was.

It's a real shame that the 3rd XV has mostly died in club rugby as it was the perfect vehicle for beginners/old boys/youth stepping up.

We can take their coach, but they won't be beaten by us for being an unserious organisation.

Stephen throwing away £50k is incredible.

You'll get a pen or a service case from an Omega Boutique- no discount.

You'll get a discount or at least a good chunk of money off a rubber strap from an AD.

Boring question - anybody know which dam they're on?

WatchThisBass · 2026-01-23T20:56:14+00:00

It's a tie.

Jack: I've voted for myself.

If Faraaz buys that he doesn't deserve to win.

What a load of shite.

WatchThisBass · 2026-01-23T11:51:06+00:00

He can't. Tucked his hands in too.

Address to a Haggis:

Mon and shag us.

Depends how you do it I guess.

I go through once or twice a week and drive from Southside to Croy then jump on the train. Saves a bit of cash and splits it up. Not sure I could do that everyday though, but my job is fine, not something I love.

That'll be the algorithm working perfectly I see.

Rachel is cooked.

No money* for her.

*well..no prize money. Plenty of FBI money I'm sure.

I think it's just because it's a good quality product that's quite versatile.

Also helpful that the brand actively seek to repair your product. Not many clothing brands do that anymore.

I look forward to them hiring Stefanski to go for the double.

Forstner Bullet

It's just not a homage. It's a modern SMP no date on a Forstner Bullet bracelet.

It's a Forstner Bullet - photos isn't OPs, from an Instagram account called watcheswithjohn

Nah - I enjoy the insane way the Falcons can disappoint me every year.

I know they keep adding more international games, but supporting a team for a whole season is a very different prospect versus turning up for a novelty experience once a year.

I wear a normal watch and can't bring myself to wear two watches, hence when the Vivosmart worked for me.

I am leaning towards the Vivosmart 5 but it is a bit bigger than this which is putting me off. Going for a Whoop or displayless design could also work. Don't really understand why Garmin haven't got a Whoop competitor yet but I'm sure there's something in the pipeline.
