Poor man's watch thread
From what TheWraith says, it seems the criterion for this thread is sub-$1000 watches (I presume in today's currency). Interestingly, Rolex didn't start out with the image it has today of being a rich man's watch... its reputation was built on being a quality, durable, practical watch that...- Chuckie Egg

Poor man's watch thread
Well, Grand Seiko was mentioned earlier in the thread so I thought it should be appropriate. And besides, the OP started the thread with Omega! I think the other thread seems to be for high ends such as PP anyways...- Chuckie Egg

Poor man's watch thread
I'll contribute my Seiko to the thread as well. Slow date change in the final hour before midnight. WR 100m but superfluous on leather. I quite like this watch as it's a modest size by today's standards and feels comfy for my wrist- Chuckie Egg

New wallet help!
I recently bought a Coach wallet in fawn tan leather. I like it a lot and the ID holder can be taken out separately as a card wallet :) I also recommend Jekyll&Hyde wallets - the designs and leather quality are excellent.- Chuckie Egg

LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD
Thank you Munky :) Just an update - I emailed Loake customer service asking for advice about removing the ink and was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply from Mr Andrew Loake himself, explaining that he has numbers written on his own shoes too, and apologising that there isn't any way...- Chuckie Egg

Edwards of Manchester shoe shop - awful service
Went in there today to look for Saphir cream as they advertise it on their website. Asked the guy there if they had any shoe cream and was told (rather dismissively) "no we don't do anything like that here, go back outside along the road there is a cobbler (does he mean Timpsons?), he might be...- Chuckie Egg

LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD
Thank you Munky. I wonder if scribbling on the shoe is a way of marking the number of times the shoes have been repaired? But I shall live with it as you advise and try not to be OCD :)- Chuckie Egg

LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD
Just had a pair of Loakes returned from factory refurbishment. They've written the work reference number in biro ink on the leather underside of the facing. Is this normal practice? I know it's out of sight but I'm not sure I appreciate it - it feels like graffiti. Is it safe to use something...- Chuckie Egg

My alligator leather strap^ is supplied by Camille Fournet. (They supply oem to some brands). It does not state the material on the lining, only embossed "Camille Fournet Paris". :)- Chuckie Egg

I've actually had my foot measured on a brannock so I know what it should be. I'll give your calculator a go to see if it matches up.- Chuckie Egg

LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD
Thanks Alan, it's a really informative and useful site. Haven't finished reading it all yet! I do think Loake 1880 are underrated and I think they are hard to beat for quality to price ratio. I wear my Loake Edward more than any other shoes. It's so comfy and the tan burnishes really nicely. :)- Chuckie Egg

I wear this one daily for its comfort and versatility, usually on its alligator deployant band back on its half-moon links bracelet for the 8th... well, because it's just gone half-moon today :)- Chuckie Egg

Crockett & Jones - Aesthetics?
If you feel the C&J are not to your liking, you might as well cut your losses and sell them. There's no point keeping shoes you don't wish to wear.- Chuckie Egg

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
They look really swell :) Practically identical to the EG Ashby. I think it'll look great in antique mid-dark brown or something like that. Look forward to seeing your result with them!- Chuckie Egg

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
Thank you Cleav :) I thought about the Clifford too but decided on Finsbury as I preferred its medallion design, although the total cost including dainite sole conversion still came >£400 so wasn't that much less than Clifford. Not sure if I made the right decision lol but I guess both are...- Chuckie Egg

I've started using cheaney's dark leaf brown polish on the Finsbury for now. Have only worn them a couple of times so far which is why they still look fairly new :embar:- Chuckie Egg
