Saw this thing in Monaco and thought it looked really nice. What kind of yacht is this?

Why has the Speedmaster bezel always been in aluminium and not ceramic?

Why has Omega decided to switch now to ceramic with the new reverse panda and how hasnt it always been since - i assume - ceramic is much more durable than aluminium?

Ich werde einen grösseren Betrag geschenkt bekommen

Hi allerseits

Ich lebe aktuell in der Schweiz (mit Schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft) und habe kürzlich erfahren, dass mir meine Grossmutter – die aus einem Nicht-EU-Land stammt – einen grösseren Geldbetrag schenken möchte. Das Geld stammt ursprünglich von meinem Grossvater, der es sein Leben lang gespart hat und es nach seinem Tod meiner Grossmutter hinterlassen hat. Da sie mittlerweile in einem Alter ist, in dem sie wahrscheinlich nicht mehr lange bei uns sein wird, möchte sie mir mit diesem Geschenk den Start ins Leben erleichtern. Den genauen Betrag kenne ich noch nicht, ich rechne aber mit irgendwo zwischen 200’000 und 400’000 EUR.

Mir ist wichtig, dass die Überweisung reibungslos abläuft, und ich würde euch gerne um Rat bitten: Welche Dokumente sollte ich beschaffen? Brauche ich einen Steuerberater oder einen Anwalt? Und sollte ich meine Bank bereits im Voraus informieren?

How much gross household income is enough for a very comfortable lifestyle in Switzerland?

Let’s say:

Couple, no kids
Not living in Zurich city center, Renting a normal apartment (nothing luxury, but nice)
One normal car
Regular vacations, eating out occasionally, hobbies, etc.
No extreme spending habits, but also not constantly watching every franc

At what point would you consider a couple to have a more than comfortable lifestyle in Switzerland?

Would you say:
CHF 150k gross household income?
CHF 200k?
CHF 250k+?

Interested in hearing both your numbers and what lifestyle you associate with them.

Anyone else noticing how pricey Swiss marketplaces have gotten?

I was listing something on Ricardo the other day and stopped to look at the fees, commissions, paid visibility, extras that used to just be part of the deal. Then I heard AutoScout24 is also raising prices again, and it got me thinking.

Here's the thing: Ricardo, AutoScout24, tutti, Homegate, ImmoScout24, they all belong to the same company, Swiss Marketplace Group. So when prices go up, there isn't really anywhere else to go. The alternatives are all under one roof.

I'm not saying anyone's doing anything wrong, but a bit more genuine competition would probably keep things fairer for all of us who use these platforms day to day.

Curious if others have noticed the same. Am I off here, or is this a real trend?

Is there some sort of connection between being an introvert and not liking summer?

I mean, I don't hate summer. But once the temperatures rise and everyone is "supposed to be" outside, I start to miss winter.

How would you describe Roja Oceania? Are there any similar fragrances? Blind buy worthy?

Has Roja Oceania Eau de Parfum been discontinued?

I was just about to go to the official Roja website (https://rojalondon.com/) to check the prices for the Oceania 100ml and noticed that only the 50ml Parfum version is still listed. Could someone quickly confirm this for me?
