What watch does your MD wear?
I just saw a discussion asking what car MD's drove, so naturally the following question would be this haha.

more important question is, who cares?
Apple Watch, one wears a black sub another wears a random $20 watch
why do people need an expensive glittery square to tell them the time of day
Maybe it is what the luxury watch market for.
to feed the materialism spawned from underlying insecurity and a deep-seated desperation to feel worthy
High horology is art. I would recommend watching videos on brands like Gronefeld, MB&F, FP Journe, A. Lange & Sohne, Laurent Ferrier, etc... The amount of work and raw skill involved in making some of the watches by the brands I mentioned is mind blowing and very very comparable to any other art form.
But anything like a Rolex...you're absolutely correct. Those are overpriced with zero artistic element for the most part.
People who can afford a nice watch rarely use them for the time of day. My Daytona isn't even wound up half the time I wear it :-)
what a waste, esp since you prob spent 35% of your salary on it ceritifed_commercial_banking_professi0nal
You posted above "who cares", yet you have the most posts on this topic by far. For whatever reason, other people wearing nice watches seems to trigger you
Why do people pay tens of millions of dollars for canvas with oil on it?
Why do people spend 10 times the value of a normal car to drive the same speed limit?
Why do people use iPhones when all you need is a TracPhone?
iPhones have a lot more utility than trac phones
Why do you care so much what other people spend their money on?
because i care about the deterioration of our social capital and the rampant materialism that has been plaguing the western world for decades now
Just curious what is further career development for MD? Partner?
Depends on which industry and company you're asking about but for a large number of them, MD is the top of the mark. From there, depending on the MD, geography, group, etc the only other option is CEO, COO, etc. But most of them are happy to stay within the MD ranks, that provides more than enough to keep them busy.
What about vice president?
None. Watches are outdated
He wears the same watch I do, Rolex Daytona.
Do you have a daytona??
No, I have a Daytona.
One wears a Panerai and another wears a rose gold Rolex GMT Master.
Have seen an assortment, most are on the higher end as one would expect. There's the apple watch guy, then the guys who rock the Pateks, Vacherons, JLCs, etc. Honestly I've seen a lot of the older MDs are a lot less flashy than the younger MDs both in terms of their watches and their dress. Feel like the older guys I know lived through the glam period on the street and are kind of over the days of having an overly flashy timepiece.
