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.

Best to bring it up after they offer you the $$$!

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

Suck up to him, for his AD connection

Hopefully it is real.

I am sure it is real.

I work for money, not because someone's wearing a watch I want..

teck21 · 20 April 2021, 10:24 AM

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.

I think op was being tongue-in-cheek

Glad somebody has a sense of humor!

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.

fliegenwulf · 20 April 2021, 10:52 AM

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.

At least you know he digs watches! That’s a point of connection right there.

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!

You are hired!

CHRONOLEX · 20 April 2021, 02:20 PM

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