    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    Hm, I could see that, but the railroad track with its corresponding hash marks just behind the hour indicators allows for precision. Cheers! Yes, the movement is the reason to buy this watch. I spent most of this weekend with a loupe admiring it as I activate, stop, and reset the...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    @ShawnBC, I agree that having a zero instead of a blank would add greater balance to the dial. But it honestly doesn't bother me. I also like the Roman numerals on the original :devil: (a point of contention here). To me, it's a perfectly fitting, superfluous nod to tradition that a company...

    OP here. I guess it's been about six years since I first began my quest for an SAB case, and about 5.5 years since I acquired my Westminster Wrap SS in London Tan. The fact that this thread is still going years later is a testament to the timeless nature of SAB cases and bags. I still carry...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

     Go for it! I love the Duoface. Especially the limited edition blue one. Mine has been an excellent watch. It's basically two watches in one: When I'm in my home time, I typically use the white side at work and the black side in more casual settings. When traveling, I typically set the...

    Yeah I was very bummed to find out J.C. Randell had retired, and there is no consensus engraver who has taken his place. I guess I will get a quote from JLC.

    A couple of new acquisitions for me and the wife: I love this watch. Pictures do not do justice to the depth of the red. Next to my Grande GMT: The difference in weight and thickness is amazing. This one is definitely a keeper. Next step: Engraving the case back.

    Edward Green/RLPL Grants 13D with trees and bags

    You know the shoe: the Edward Green Grants made for RLPL. Except this pair will fit those with larger feet! Sadly, my feet are a bit too large (13.5D), and the shoes are true to size, so I've only worn them twice. But my loss is your gain. Included are the shoes, the exquisite original...

    How do you justify spending $500+ on shoes?

    This probably comes down to a resource question. If you have the resources, then why would you purchase a product that has a less-than-ideal fit and which uses less-than-ideal materials? If you can afford the best, then why not get the best? But of course, if purchasing a $1000, $2000, $5000...

    Nice review and pics, superfilmbuff! Agreed. I very much like the way my SAB bag is aging and have not babied it at all.

    Discuss Swaine Adeney Brigg cases

    Maybe I'll post some pics this weekend, but it mostly looks the same. Still one of my favorite purchases. That price looks about right, and if they're actually responding to your inquiries, I'd take advantage of that because they are notoriously slow. I generally use two gussets, but I do...

    Discuss Swaine Adeney Brigg cases

     I don't know if it's possible to have them remove a gusset. But I doubt you'll save much dimensionally with 2 gussets instead of 3. Thanks to the straps, the case can actually be quite thin if it's not full. I say better to have the space in case you need it; otherwise, tighten the...

    Is anyone else still waiting on their order from the November tour? I received my shirts over a month ago, but still no suit and trousers. I've previously received my order before the following tour date, but that has now come and gone.

     My wife has come with me before, and I've seen other men with their wives/girlfriends.

    Yeah I smell a troll. The poster has only three posts, and they all say the same thing. If it's legit, then I would suggest he take it up with his credit card company or the local consumer advocate. He might even be able to offload the bags here, depending on what they are.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

     Lol. I agree that there is an appreciation for quality--often hand-crafted--that underlies many of the topics of conversation on the forum (particularly suits, shoes, and ties). Sure, a lot of the conversation concerns "style," but there are many informative threads that go into nitty...

     Funny, I reached the same conclusion the other day and am on a similar timeline (there's another watch I want to acquire in the interim). I really like the simplicity of the 1815, though it appears the Richard Lange is more highly favored among the ALS set. Of course, a Lange 1 Moonphase...
