2005 E55 Wagon
Ported Heads vs Cartier vs Golden Tee

Ok, I got lucky on a football bet. I was originally going to use that money to get the ported heads for my 05 Wagon.. But the dam P0106 and hiccups from the bigger TB is pissing me off.

Then, I thought about the Cartier Roadster Chronograph watch that I have been wanting for awhile. It would be nice to have that watch but it only benefits me.

My office staff suggests I get the 2013 Golden Tee video game for the office. But, then I everyone will be playing that game instead of working.

What do you guys think.... which one should I get?

If the office knows about the bet and you considering golden tee go with that. Office comradery/synergy are invaluable and more importantly having an owner that knows and believes in it are invaluable. Just make sure it's an award for reaching a goal. And maybe make that goal reward you financially enough to get both the heads and roadster.

get the watch, and maybe a wii for the office.

edit: In a previous job, we had a Wii, PS3 and xbox 360, full kitchen, and beer fridge.
We would generally work till 5, then play halo or some other game, then start working again after an hour or two

Your cell phone can tell you the time and it is always right.

Get the Golden Tee, then find a way to claim it and get reimbursed, then buy the heads. Car also has a clock in the dash.

get the watch but i'd get something dif than Cartier - im partial to Panerai - can't get enough of them

If you want to get hooked up with a broker i have a really good guy whom i have bought 3 pieces from - he is out of LA - i never pay retail and save you on tax too -

Oh man. I used to kill it at Golden Tee! I'm leaning towards throwing that money towards something you and your employees can use. Sponsor in office tournaments during off time/lunch or even as a bonus break time for good work and see how much company morale can improve. Happy employees are productive employees. Basically, everything Sterling just said.

I've found that when it came to a choice between work and goofing off, my employees would rather goof off. Rather than a video game, I'd take them on a social outing of some sort (ball game, cocktail night, dinner, etc....). But that being said, I'd take care of the employees.

as good as heads can be i would get the watch. The watch will always be worth $$$ and something you can pass down.

You really want that watch? I don't think it looks good at all.

Actually, I love the look of that watch! I think I am going with the golden tee - with rules to be set as to when it can be used at the office.

Thanks for all responses!!!
