My New Hamilton Mount Vernon.
Well UPS dropped off my new Hamilton Mount Vernon at work today.Wow it is truly stunning. It is a large watch with a classic Art Deco design. Here are a few photos with more to come later along with a review.

What should I do?
I'm already thinking about my two vacations this year. In a couple months I'll be in NYC visiting my brother and hanging out in Manhattan. I like to go to see Aaron Faber when I'm there to see if there are any 'used' watches I can 'use.'And every year I seem to buy a watch with one of my vacations. I can spend between $1500 and $2000 for something. With all my other shenanigans, that is it for a budget.Now, what I really want is a plain, small Reverso, but I think they are 4 or 5 grand. I could save up for a couple years, but that would drive me crazy. So, here are a couple watches for around $1500-$1700 that I think would make great gifts. Maybe you can think of something else in this price range.Here they are:Vittorium ATThis watch is DLC, ETA chronograph with 500 meters water resistance. Not bad! I love the bold red/black look. I normally don't care for chronographs, but I like the open look of the half subdials which unclutter the whole affair. It's a nice size at 42mm.

Need help identifying older women's model
This was a gift from my grandfather to grandmother passed down to my parents and now they're giving it to me. Until recently I had no idea that this was in my parents safety deposit box and they didn't give the watch much thought. They don't have any of the original papers or box. As far as my dad remembers it was given to my grandma in the 50s but that's just on memory. They also don't know where it was purchased, but I'm assuming somewhere in the pnw or west coast but I could be wrong. Any help here would be appreciated. I'm going to reach out to my local AD but figured I'd post it here too.

Why did you buy your first Rolex?
I've heard many reasons mentioned by people, for some it's simply to show off, whilst some others wear a Rolex that was given to them by a relative or friend, and others got theirs to mark a special occasion, so on and so forth.For me it was because I turned my career/future prospects around in a big way, last year, at the age of 30; I got a job that 8000 people had applied for and in the process I more than doubled my salary from my previous career. It was a completely new field for me so once I successfully passed my training I wanted to mark the occasion with something to always remind me of my hard work & study, and to always keep going and aim for the next target. What better way than a Rolex? It's something that I would never have been able to afford if I didn't get up off my a$$ and turn things around, I was working a crappy job for rubbish pay (well below the national average here in the UK), was always feeling down and had no future prospects.But why a Rolex you may ask?
