Anything that a shop has in stock will stay the same for a week or two unless they are cunts. But if anything has to be ordered than yeah pretty much. A lot of places are going to be short on stock after Christmas so things like submariners, Gmt are pretty much gonna go straight up as they have a high turnover so the watch you buy won't have been in stock more than a week or two.

We decided this morning that we aren't even quoting prices for anything that isn't in stock as its all changing next week.

I've sent our stock listing of Patek and Rolex to about eight ppl today all people that want to buy multiples before the prices go up.

If your looking at rolex sub's, GMT, milgauss, daytonas get them as soon as you can or you will be taking a hit.

The same with Patek. There is a killing to be made if you can get your hands on the right watches.

If someone did buy 'the right watches' where could they sell them on to make said killing? Could you send me your list to adamfallon1 at gmail.com please? I think you said before you're in Cork did you?

Why is Keane so interested in the Swiss economy? Doesn't he glue computer chips together or something? The only rational conclusion is that Intel pay his salary in chocolate vouchers.

And why is Deadparrot honeymooning in Switzerland?

I certainly won't be booking a 'honeymoon'. I'll book everything separately. What's the advantage of specifically booking a honeymoon rather than a good holiday? Rose petals on the bed type crap?

[Strewelpeter]

Never mind honeymoon, just about everything that is to do with a wedding can be done for less than half the price if you avoid calling it a wedding.

What is the educated consensus on the forecast for the Euro?

This is not the consensus but it's the first I've heard of dollar parity:

Companies from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to Pacific Investment Management Co., the world’s biggest manager of active bond funds, have in recent days talked about the euro falling to parity with the dollar, a 14 percent decline from its current level.

had an interview today, round 2 to be exact. Down to the last 3 so it's about who they think would fit best in the team, and not really down to me anymore, but as soon as I get home, who do i get a call from but their arch rivals, wanting me to come in to meet them.

Seriously, wtf? these are CVs I sent 6 to 8 weeks ago ffs!!!

Anyway, time to use my 1 fuckin' time at this stage.

I love not working and looking after the kids tbh, but time to get back on the grind and pay for that private school...

my dad used to work for nestle and we organised to bring my whole class to the factory, and we visited the smarties manufacturing belt. This was back in the 70s, and they allowed us to put our hands under the smarties dispenser unit before they get coloured. imagine 20 kids pigging out on fresh smarties!!

it really was a memorable moment in my life.

Everything's moving now that yearly budgets are approved and everyone's back from holidays. The jobs you applied for last year were departmental wishlists. The ones you'll interview for aren't just the ones you were accepted for, they're the ones that got full approval.

So the one year old apple of my eye never shirks a request to wrestle These have been pretty even affairs up to now although he holds a slight lead, Today as I was drawing level in bouts he went all Mike Tyson on me and bit my ear , top and bottom teeth met arrghhhh, and I had to tickle him several times intensively under the arm to get him to release I can honestly say it was quite the shock. I knew having UFC on in the background was bad parenting. Now where does a man of my age get a suitable earring
I'm willing to adapt my look to fit the UFC types out there. I draw the line at a pouncy beard though.

Willie my man. Good to have you back!

I lke this Hotspur inspired redux. We need some of the oldschool back here. I suggest we get DBC back. That is, if he isn't here in some other guise. This forum needs some popcorn. I also note Sledgejammer hasn't posted in a while.

[Raekwon]

Xeyboy - which city do you work in? Mind to send me a price list noel.hayes2 AT gmail.com or link to a website of the shop you work in - I had a good long look at some Breitlings before Xmas and kicked for touch. Presuming the standard 35% IPB discount will also apply.

Yeah no hassle I will email you that in the morning.

If I bought a Watch this week. Where could I shift it on next week for loots?

Doesn't really apply for the normal person off the street. Meant it more for dealers that own a shop or website. They would be buying b2b so would have no vat, would get between 10 and 20% discount on a bulk order and then with the price increases they are saving close to 60% on retail.

Most of these guys will be reselling in Hong Kong or the emirates.

How much for a swatch? Needs a battery.

For you?

Free batteries for life m8.

If someone did buy 'the right watches' where could they sell them on to make said killing? Could you send me your list to adamfallon1 at gmail.com please? I think you said before you're in Cork did you?

Watches that are good to buy to make money on are.

Rolex and Patek everything else isnt really worth the effort.

Rolex: Submariner date, submariner green, GMT blue/black, steel Daytona's. They are the only decent ones that will hold their value and increase long term as second hand watches.

Patek: 5960p, 5711, 5712, 5170j, 5990A, and the holy grail 5131g or J all of these will go for big money in a year or two.

But as I said it was more a comment for dealers. But it still stands that if anyone was thinking of getting a good watch do it now before everything goes up in the next few weeks. Rolex are keeping their prices at the same level for next week at least but I enquiries about four different models today and they gave 12week delivery times for all of them.

...BRAG: Interview was not a complete disaster...It actually went surprisingly well...The interview was a lot more informal than I feared, and add the fact it was casual Friday and the two women interviewing me were in normal clothes...so overall I can't argue and whether I get a second interview or not, I'm happy with how I fared...

BEAT: Suppose to have a first date tonight with a stunning looking girl, been texting for the last week and going well, but haven't heard from her since last night...so likely I'm stood up...bah, I'd swap my brag and beat in a heartbeat if possible...

[oleras]

5131G...160k ? Good jasus.

Interesting to note all the Oil and Gas companies strategies to deal with the oil price glut.

Schlum cutting jobs and cap ex (share price jumped on opening this morning). Same with Suncor. Rumblings of a lot more layoffs and rigs closing.

My girlfriends brother in law is a part owner of Beaver Drilling. He has said that he doesn't think Oil will go above $95 p/b this year. He says a fair line would be $78 max at any point during the year.

Looks like some pain for Alberta, its eerily similar in debt and expenditure of the average Joe to pre 2008 Ireland.

On the other side some Calgary based companies that have nothing to do with OnG are getting significant share price cuts. Time to be bullish methinks.

I'd take the unders on $78, funny over Christmas I ran into four people I know in Ireland who all are involved in OnG. One of whom just finished a PhD in geology and is all set to begin his career in exploration - talk about timing!

I have an evens bet on the unders of $95. Only managed to get 200 dollars on it with a particularly bullish Calgarian friend of mine. Just text him now to double down and/or move the line a little if he pleases. One time.

I agree though. Under on $78 is still big. He actually gave me that line as I asked him about my bet. I'd love to know what he really thinks.

Ive given up trying to understand stuff like this but why are peak oil doomsters saying that plummeting oil prices show that they are right and it's nearly time for some good feasting?

I'd take the unders on $78, funny over Christmas I ran into four people I know in Ireland who all are involved in OnG. One of whom just finished a PhD in geology and is all set to begin his career in exploration - talk about timing!

So here are the two bets I made with him:

Bet 1: He is taking the overs on $95USD p/b (Brent Crude), at ANY point before December 31st 2015. $200 at evens.

Bet 2: He is taking the overs on $75USD p/b (Brent Crude) , at ANY point before July 31st. $100 at evens.

I like where I currently. Should be a good bit of banter between us now while the clock ticks down.

Here's hoping!

[Denny Crane]

Not even Raoul would angle for those kind of terms. Might as well start rubbing the money on your titties now.

Edit: I suppose at least he got Brent and not CL anyway.

Genuinely no angling. He offered the terms. I just casually took them.

He did try and change the measuring currency to CAD after but I was having none of it.

Her computer is at risk of going out the window.

Going on 4 hours of putting stuff on etc., no problem. But I had to download her fucking Kaspersky anti virus, and for some reason when I click the .exe file it comes up that this app can't run on your PC. No fucking idea what the problem is, system requirements seem fine, no other AV on it.
