    Allen Edmonds damage?

    Good afternoon. I recently purchased a pair of Allen Edmonds Strands from Club Monaco here in Toronto, Canada. Today is the second day I have worn the shoes and they are beautiful. However, I have noticed an issue with the heel on each shoe that I would appreciate your feedback on. On the...

    Archimede vs. Stowa pilot watches

    I haven't handled either, but I hear that Stowa's fit-and-finish is superior. I also understand that it has more historical significance as a brand, if that matters to you. I would go with the Stowa, though you'll probably have to wait a few months to get it.

    Watch gift for wife -- advice needed

    Thank you Cylon. I suppose it would be an all-purpose watch, but moreso one the causal side as she is in jeans far more often than a dress, but I do think a Cartier tank would suit most if not all purposes. I guess I have to tell myself that I'm buying the watch her and not myself (in which...

    Watch gift for wife -- advice needed

    Hello everyone, My wife's 30th birthday is coming up and I would like to buy her a nice watch. My budget is $2000, which limits me as far as higher-end timepieces go, so I am willing to buy a used model if it is good condition (Timezone, etc.). I am thinking of something a little chunky (so...

    Leather Watch Strap Suggestions?

    I have had success with the following sites: http://globalwatchband.com/ http://fredawatchstraps.com/ I recently purchased the Hirsch "Alligatorgrain" from Freda and I find it to be very good quality for the money (well under $50).

    Seiko SARB030? http://www.seiyajapan.com/product/S-...5-SARB030.html Or the new SARB072? http://www.seiyajapan.com/product/S-...5-SARB072.html

    Which Seiko 5?

    FYI -- the first watch posted has an integrated bracelet so you can't change the bracelet in favour of a leather strap (or solid link bracelet for that matter). On that basis alone, I'd go with option 2 (as I prefer its flexibility/versatility).

    Why burberry is so expensive?

    This is hearsay, but I once heard that Burberry actually *destroys* any surplus merchandise every season /year in order to ensure that nothing is reduced to sale/clearance bins, and thereby protecting the exclusivity and "prestige" of the brand. On one hand, this could be completely false. On...

    RUSH ADVICE: Best Dress Watch Under $1500

    Resurrecting an old thread; does the recommendation for Longines still hold? Any other recommendations? I'm considering the Master Automatic, 36mm size (6 1/4" thin wrist, dislike cut-off numerals on the bigger sizes). Crappy pics How about their Flagship collection? Similar size, costs...

    Watch strap

    Do not snip it. I agree with alliswell -- just buy a shorter strap. Many straps come in various sizes (S, M, L). I recently bought a strap from www.globalwatchband.com and they have various sizes and styles at good prices. Highly recommend it. You can get a nice strap made by a reputable brand...

    Critique This Watch

    Based on your criteria I would suggest the SARB035, which I have. It looks great and can be dressed up (with a leather strap) or down (with the stock bracelet) -- perfectly suited to both office and weekend wear.

    Opinions on this sport coat -- too short?

    +1. But if you're asking, will you ever truly be comfortable wearing it? Aye, there's the rub. Thanks again folks.

    Opinions on this sport coat -- too short?

    Length seems to be ok. But (even though you didn't ask) is the shoulder waay to big. Especially from the back picture,shoulder almost drooping which is not good. It may just look that way in the picture... the shoulders are actually quite snug and I fill them out entirely.
