A few weeks ago, I visited the Omega headquarters in Biel, and the folks there showed me this new handsome white-dial Seamaster 37mm. It ticks many boxes for me, and many of you also enjoy the return of the dog-leg lugs and vintage-style cases. Omega also shipped the watch to us, so it’s time for…

Sales managers discuss wanting to meet young customers who are not only serious, but also serious about going all the way with their product, and soon. There might be big talk about forming long-term relationships,…
