Should I spend my tax refund on a nice watch?
Getting back around $3,000. Just looking for a nice conservative watch. Something ofifice friendly.
Black leather strap, silver face (or black face). Anything in the ~$1,000 range or so?

I'd just save it, and wait until you get your 1st year-end bonus to get a nicer watch.
how much does a "nicer" watch cost?

If you can't see yourself dropping that much on a timepiece, I'd go with this:

IWC Portofino will run you about $3500 new, and a Portugese about $6,000. Don't buy new though; find a nice, lightly used model on eBay which should cut the price in half.
Portofino looks pretty nice. Will probably just wait for that one. Or just grind out with the current watch I have now
Doesn't the tax refund just mean u got taxed more than you should have? Save it
Let's just say the economy isn't complaining, and neither are people who are smart with their money. Except for the fact that they know they're getting fucked by Obama.
Idk, I was a SA so im not really sure what to make of it.
Should you spend thousands of dollars on a watch to pretend that you're a hitter? Fuck no....
Good rule of thumb, this isn't an iron clad rule, but generally (and I mean pretty much universally), don't spend more than 1/5 of your pre-tax yearly income on stupid shit like a watch.
thanks
No. If you're a senior, the last thing you should be trying to do is drop dollar like that. You're leaving what you will soon realize are the four best years of your life. Go out with a bang. Make memories, you'll soon have more money but no time to spend it. Enjoy yourself. Go all out for spring break and get your tits wet. Get involved. Crush college with a vengeance, you won't get another shot. Worry about the watch when you have bonuses to throw around.
Ive only got 2 months left here. Ready to move on in life
in college

not a common watch, not too expensive (under a grand), and beautiful.
Fuck you people that have money
