[slow_mo]

and i totally forget that i already bought a pebble time as a beater for work!

a question for a rainy afternoon.

should a person wear a expensive/luxury timepiece when going for an entry level/fresh grad position interview?
given the fact that the timepiece is a gift.

let's say a Rolex, Pam, Omega (the more well marketed brands)
or should turn it down a notch
say Tissot, Longines, Seiko, Citizen, micro-brands or fashion brands?

I will maintain a low key image. Dress smart and neat.

that's what i thought. at least it might affect 5% of your chance of landing the job.

a guy with a rolex
a guy with a seiko

both have same credentials and got their way in the interview.

i think chances are the interviewer will give to the guy with the seiko.
because the guy with a rolex at his age probably comes from well to do family.

doesn't matter if the guy save up and got it or is a watch lover.
because the interviewer will just assume.

I think you need to try Polywatch or even toothpaste for mineral crystal.

Diamond paste would be for sapphire crystal as it's too abrasive for mineral crystal

Depends on the industry to be honest.
