  • If I were to do a deck, I’d fill it with relevant substance and make sure it’s readable in a PowerPoint format (and not too busy) and worry about the aesthetics later or not even at all.

    I don’t think in the history of VC that someone got funding because “I thought you had really cool PowerPoint transitions”

    It’s the story of the suit vs hoodie; “hire the guy in the hoody because the people in the suit are trying to dress up bad engineering”


  • I’d think a more apt comparison using cars would be paying someone to photoshop your current car in a different paint job/vinyl wrap, or new rims. Its expensive to paint/wrap a car or buy new rims but a good photoshop job is relatively less expensive than getting it done for real and would give you a good feel of how the light would interact with the new color.

    I’d think this is a more apt comparison because in a test drive you’re able to go through all the motions you’d normally do in a car. At an AD trying on the real thing, yes you get the feel, weight, overall “heft” of the piece which is important, but you’re restricted to how it looks with the outfit you have on at the AD. You’re unable to test out how it feels when you need to wash your hands, bring in the groceries, or do any normal daily activities with the watch on.


  • I was on the “just buy a Rolex” train if you’re considering Tudor but after reading more into it, Rolex has brand recognition which is usually a good thing but it can also be a bad thing:

    Some comments I’ve seen here are “try asking for a raise in a Rolex” or “If I see someone wearing a Rolex, idk if they’re really into watches or just wants to tick the “bought a Rolex” off the life goals list.”

    Wearing a Tudor, sure, youre probably gonna get the “it’s not a Rolex” write off from the lay person but to watch folks, theyll likely know that you know exactly what you’re wearing. Almost like a secret handshake
