Interview and Hiring Manager Wearing Daytona
Had an interview on Zoom this afternoon and the hiring manager was wearing a Daytona 116500LN. I was immediately sold on the job! It is not too often you get a good view of somebody's watch during a Zoom call but his watch was front and center. Did not feel it was appropriate to bring it up but you bet I will at some point.

If he's been there awhile, then your new job should pay well!

I enjoy and approve of the snob appeal associated with Rolex watches, but I am baffled about the being sold on a job because the interviewer wore a Daytona.
That does not seem particularly pertinent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Interesting aspect of the job is that the company is based in Switzerland and the guy I spoke to now lives in CA but is Swiss. |

I would take that job only if the Daytona had a only meteorite dial. Can't even think of working for anyone with a mediocre Daytona.

good luck with the rest of the hiring journey and if it works out, do some wrist shots with your boss :)

You should start the conversation by giving him compliments : nice watch!

Better than the working for some place where you’re not “allowed” to have nice watches, or an expensive car or whatever.
