Morning, Buddy. When I first looked at that pic I said "why have I never seen that cap toe derby before?" haha. That last really transforms the Galway.

Red Sub?
People are start getting angry when they receive their Skoak packages and there isn't a watch in there....
You betcha.

It maybe a just another sports watch, but it works for me.

Ugh. I'm obsessed with mechanical repeaters.
I'm telling you. You haven't lived until you've listened to a Patek Repeater. Too bad the closest I've come to hearing one is via video. LOL

that just means they aren't buying enough, LOL

LOL

Very nice, however I think if I were to ever get a Shannon it would be all calf. Somehow the suede shaft on the Shannon isn't is much to my liking as it is on the Galway.

Got this picture from Gabriel at Skoak yesterday, Alderley are inbound.
Love that make up, unfortunately we only got a very small batch, hoping to get the next batch next week.

Just noticed the Alderley has 1 less eyelet and 1 less speedhook; I assume this makes them shorter than the Shannon and Galway?

The "gold" on the Alderley appears toned down from some other models with it...looks nice. The broguing and maybe more burnishing helps.

Funny what things stand out after trying many shoes...after having boots with low heel cups (Galway) and some with stiffeners too high, the Alderley heel design looks perfect.
