[Question] Watches for young lawyers? Useful complications for lawyers?
Main Post:
I have a hunch that at least some of you are attorneys, because attorneys seem to be the type of folks who would be into watches.
I am a rising 3L and I will be working at a big firm this summer. I am hoping to save up some of my summer money and either buy a nice watch second-hand, or persuade my parents to split the cost of a new watch as a birthday present.
So I have a couple of questions:
(1)
What are some watches that I, as a young guy, could where at a firm job or clerkship without looking like an uppity jackass punk? I won't be wearing any of these as a summer associate, but I might the following year. I really like the look of the Planet Ocean with the SS bracelet, and I also really like the look of some of the IWCs, like the 45mm Ingenieur and the Portuguese Chronograph, both of which could potentially be in my price range if I buy second hand or split with my folks. I am considering the Tudor divers too.
I like the idea that IWC and Tudor have less brand visibility than Omega or Rolex, so that if I have a stainless steel one on my wrist, most people would glance at it and not think twice, but I will be able to look at it and enjoy it more privately and "under the radar."
(2)
Are there any complications that come in handy for you lawyers? I have seen doctor's watches with pulsometers. I was wondering if we have anything similar. If not, maybe we should get together and build a chronograph movement that times to the nearest tenth of an hour. But seriously; do people ever use chronometers for billing? Are there watches with timers or count-down features that would help you time an oral argument on a motion or something like that? (Yes, I know I won't be doing much of this as a litigation associate).
I would also appreciate any general tales/advice/anecdotes about watch-dom in the legal field.
Top Comment: I am in the legal field, so here is my advice: don't get a bulky watch like the ingenieur; IWC is not an under-the-radar brand at a law firm; don't wear a watch that is obviously more expensive than the one the partner is wearing. To clarify the last point, it's OK if your watch is actually more expensive, just don't let it show. In other words, nothing gold, nothing with a tourbillon, stay away from flashy. Suits look goofy with giant watches, so think slim. Get something subtle and with a classic aesthetic. Maybe a vintage Omega seamaster, a Glashutte 60s, or a vintage Grand Seiko. As for complications, GMT can be helpful if you travel for work.

should I watch Joseon Attorney?
Main Post:
This drama has been on my watch list for a while and I'm wondering if I should watch it next? I love saeguks as well as law/crime dramas, so the premise caught my attention from the start. Some historical dramas that I've liked so far are The King's Affection, The Red Sleeve, and Mr. Sunshine.
I'm also a VIXX stan and a huge fan of 2521, so seeing Hakyeon and Bona would be a Bonus. But outside of the basic plot and cast, I haven't heard much else about the drama.
For those who watched it, what did you like and dislike? And would you reccomend? thank you!!

Where besides Netflix can I watch "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" with English subtitles?

I don't want to give Netflix money. Viki doesn't have it, and MyAsianTV triggered my antivirus (Avast).

What did you think She-Hulk: Attorney at Law? I absolutely loved it and sad we'll never get a Season 2

Top Comment: Stranger things have happened. A second season isn't entirely out of the question and would be pretty great. This series was my second favorite of the Marvel D+ shows after WandaVision. It was a terrific adaptation of Jen's comic character and the Dan Slott run of the comics. I wish the CG had been more consistent, but at worst, it was about as good as a lot of the shots in Age of Ultron. A second season with more budget and time would fix that issue. Moreover, there are a fair number of scenes where the CG is flawless. I honestly can't wait until she starts popping up in the movies. Waited a long time for She-Hulk to join the MCU.
