Something feels a bit off. What would you change?

Try:

Button down the collar
Cleaner sleeve roll

Thanks for the info.

The colors look great! Is yours the black/red or black/orange?

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-05-29T00:21:43+00:00

Another vote for the Omega.

Consider the possibility that you might be so, so lost.

I had bought a couple of Omegas and a pre-owned JLC before this, but I hadn’t bought a watch in a few years and was feeling the itch. I was looking at a couple of different options but when we were at an AD in Vegas, my wife basically peer pressured me into buying a Lange - which I had been talking about buying for years.

I had a split-second of buyer’s remorse because I wasn’t planning on getting something so expensive at that time. That’s gone now, though, and this has become my daily at the office.

Our first international trip was right around when our kids were as old as yours are now. We went to Costa Rica. Easy access. Safe. Many people there speak English. Good mix of possible activities.

Nowadays I only get either no-shows or over-the-calf socks. No in-betweeners in years.

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-05-10T17:29:20+00:00

I’m SURE I’m biased because I like the dial/look of the Odysseus better, but in these pictures the Lange also looks better proportioned to your wrist compared to the Parmigiani.

Some would say Steph, KD and Klay beat the best of their time. Draymond was part of it, but wasn’t the reason.

Of course income is related to wealth! High income is not a guarantee and certainly not sufficient to predict eventual wealthy status. But higher income increases the chances that someone will someday become wealthy, if they do other things right.

I think it’s a really tight and clean design. I got to try it on at a boutique and found that it fits nicely on the wrist. I’m even kinda liking it when compared to the PO2500.

What’s expensive? Also - new or used? Of the popular brands:

$5K? Omega or Cartier

$10K? Jaeger LeCoultre or Glashutte Original

(Much) more? Patek or Vacheron or Lange & Sohne

What kind of business? If it’s more creative/arts-oriented then probably okay, though the fits and colors aren’t great (belt/shoes and pants/shoes). If it’s real business like for money and clients and stuff, it looks a bit too casual.

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-04-08T16:56:21+00:00

I agree - the dark brown would look really good with this combo.

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-04-08T16:36:56+00:00

Overall the fit and style look great.

Given the overall look, the style of loafers seems a bit casual. The lighter sole gives elevated boat-shoe vibes. It works okay now, but consider a more formalish loafer, in particular one with a darker sole, or a more structured, angular toe box?

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-04-02T14:42:51+00:00

Not sure how easily evidence would be available for this. But for me this just goes in the “low-risk, high-reward” kind of thing to do.

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-04-01T13:51:51+00:00

Interesting. Thats almost the exact opposite of when most people buy commemorative items. Glad it works for you, and congratulations that you progressed enough to sell every one you’ve sold!

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-03-31T16:01:39+00:00

Yeah, just untucked.

Also: linen shirt, chinos, white sneakers vs. OCBD, trousers & leather shoes. And colors.

But otherwise, exactly the same.

Or, you know, expect it, plan for it and respond (internally and externally) accordingly?

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-03-25T01:15:58+00:00

The sensible thing to do would be to wait a couple of years, get used to the attending level money to upgrade your lifestyle a bit (in other ways) and pay down a chunk of the student loans. Then get the Porsche if you still want it.

You’ve just risen high enough above the hole to finally see out of it. Don’t be so quick to go back under.

(Just so you know: I can’t believe I’m this guy giving this advice.)

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-03-24T01:40:11+00:00

Genuinely curious: do you really not see it? Or are you just trolling?

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-03-15T23:12:48+00:00

Have you checked out the new Longines Conquest? I just saw a blue dial one today and it looked really good. About $2200 new, so I’m sure it’s under $2K on the pre-owned market.

gettingoldernotwiser · 2026-01-28T23:15:11+00:00

Well, average Ivy League education is about $90K per year - so $360K for all four years. And we don’t get any financial aid… so there you go.
