Even if you don't use one, wear one. It significantly increases the odds of a successful job interview. To the interviewer, a good looking watch (not a cheapo Spongebob one) carries a professional look and indirectly says that you are conscious of time (even if you aren't).

edit: just be sure your watch aesthetically matches any rings you are wearing. Details are important after all. Blink


If getting hired is dependent on wrist fashion, I wouldn't want the job anyway.
I came to my interview in dress pants, a button-up, and a hoodie.


Was McDonalds hiring that day?

That's funny, 'cause I did my compulsory training with ROK Army actually lol. Maybe because it was training camp that I was in, not professional soldier stuff. I've heard that the guys in the Marine or Special Ops get kind of 'hunger' training though, where they have to go through a week with minimal sleep/food. For hilly billy grunts like me who pass through the training camps they do stick to meal schedules. Otherwise there'd be a riot lol.

haha....no

500 to 1k usd for a cosmetic, surely your joking


What really is the problem if all it does is display a watch on the character model? Is it really a problem if some dumb ass can burn 1k on something useless?

Not even going to give this a legit reponse, and instead gonna hijack!

If you really want something like this, then ccp should give out wall decorations for the CQ as a 10 year vet gift, like we get digital swords, or some type of forum badge. But your idea.. no thanks

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Its an in game item that you must purchase from CCP only. Its price would be that of a greater monocle. It would ONLY be awarded to an account that has stayed unsubbed for lets say a year and only at the END of that year. So you would purchase it for said account, unsub and not sub for a year and THEN you would have your gold retirement watch on your wrist for your character. If you sub sooner than that you lose the item itself.

Say $500-1000 item. Twisted


Ok, so I am leaving the game, but I spend 1k on something I will get in a year, no one will see, and I can't see either because I left the game.

Colorado, Washington or Oregon? P

As a sales rep some rudimentary jewelery like polished steel/gold watch is always good for driving home the idea that you're worth the time. After all - unsuccessful people cant afford that stuff.

On a related note to OP yeah I'm sure ccp will really want to encourage people to unsub for benefit.

I mean EA might do it but they're consecutively the winner of worst business in USA so it's not surprising its standard operating procedure for cynics at this point.
