The day has come...i'm just employed. OE no more.

Got a call from my manager and boom gave me the news that im out. although I was gonna dish 2 deals. Said they wanted me in but CEO was like enough costs.

Dunno, i didn't close 6 month. And already got new partners that they needed.

I don't feel bad, because even though im OE i gave it my 110% and did more effort with the little cards dealt to me.

Reflection...glad I did it. Would I do it again. Yes. I feel in another company I would have crushed it.

Pros...focusing back on my body again and getting back in shape. Time to check out Bravado Flex.

Cons...well less money. But i lived with 1 paycheck anyways goal of this one is to buy a Rolex.

Are you going to look for another immediately or enjoy the break

I'll enjoy the break of course but I'll actively look from March I want to focus on being back in shape. OE did a number on me. I hired a nutritionist just so you can get an idea...

Your tolerance for pain is formidable. Your discipline is admirable. Go get that watch.

thank you...any advise which one to put on my crosshairs?

Platinum President, blue dial. Shoot high. Any Datejust 41 makes the “I’ve arrived” statement though.

And because you’re gonna get there, go buy some of this. Buy it before you get the watch and put it on your desk.

That’s all personal preference. I don’t think you can miss with any of them. The grey Wimbledon, though..

The Wimbeldon was available actually in Rolex Retail, love it!

Guys don’t get to do purses, shoes, belts, all matched up with earrings, color coded with bracelets.. n all that. Thank gawd, I’d be flat broke. But we do get to do watches. A car dealer buddy of mine once said- a watch tells much more than the time. It tells how you use your time.

I got my 41 when they replaced Datejust 2 with them 6 years ago. They hadn’t come out with that badass slate Wimbledon yet. Had I known it was coming I would have waited. But these things don’t age and they only increase in value. My daily driver

Too true. I don’t wear them much, but I’m partial to cufflinks. Have a decent collection going. Also got a nice wallet, and when I carry a bag it’s a nice one.

oldcloser

Yes, cufflinks- on French cuffs, especially. Wallets too! But those accessories are fading, and nobody really sees a wallet. Never got into bags. Always thought they say. “Steal me.” Shoes just don’t do it for me.

Not that anyone asked. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree with the wallet but a decent card holder could do. I have customized cuff links, gold with my initials. Never use them. I always tell myself these people don’t deserve to see it lol

I mean… yeah! You put yourself out there. You try to be authentic. You stand there in the WR fully exposed and vulnerable. Look what happens. They back the godammm WR truck right over your face. I don’t know if I can get over it this time.

Judging by that arm, @oldcloser , you haven't been 'fully exposed' since you were about 10 years old.

Probably not totally sanctioned WR behavior to use “fully exposed” and 10-year-olds in the same post. Penalty flag thrown.

Of course, its like having 4 hours back 2 hours I can dedicate for J1 and 2 hours for myself!
I like money but it came at the cost of loving myself. Time to love my body back...later do it again.

youre prob closer to the Rolex than you think - which one do you want? Have you thought abt vintage pieces?

I love vintage but honestly I know nothing, my uncle and father keep insisting that it's the right of passage of accomplishments (more important than a car). But tell me more what do you have in mind?

heard old gmt masters are the ones to look out for anyways. it's a matter of finding it them. Do you end up putting your name in Rolex customer list? or would you need to buy it from retail?

I just have to tell someone… For some perspective, our overall avg order size is about 12k and yesterday I closed a 130k deal and another 50k at my next appointment. I am excited as the year has been pretty tough in my market and big sales like this help remind me I am good at this! 👏

Plan on leaving my role soon after a year and a half ish. Should I simply wait until the new year when hiring should (I hope so) pick up soon?
