J.Crew Spring 2012 - Page 16

Stantons are a nice slim fit and comfortable but not necessarily really formal in their cut and polish, still nice enough for casual dress

finally broke out the saturdays surf collab b/u yesterday

Looks good. How do you like the fit of the S/S shirts?

How do you guys like the Mougin & Piquard watches that J. Crew carries? I'm thinking of picking one up, and the watch looks pretty nice. Any better watches I can get on a sub-$500 budget?

It is a cool watch, but check out Hamilton watches too for a similar look/price.

seems very over-priced for a quartz watch from so no-name made-up brand to me. $100 for a Seiko automatic would be a better choice, or check out Hamilton (as mentioned already) or Tissot for other options.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys!

I echo the sentiment of it being overpriced for a quartz watch from a company I've never heard of. Look into stowa for really nice automatic mvmt watches with similar looks, as well as Laco, which I have and have been really happy with.

a little more fitted than j. crew. i usually wear S but got a M in these.

Just recently picked up the green rain jacket thing (8th picture down from top on first page of this thread). Found it on sale for $60 at the clearance store. Not bad, but I had to size down to a medium. The large was really frumpy looking.

Anyone have a code they aren't planning on using soon? Will forever be indebted to whomever wants to help a brotha out.

I'd like a code, too, please. Thanks in advance.

Come on J. Crew. Release your "vintage oxford short sleeve" OCBD shirt in lilac, please. I really really really dig the standard blue and salmon, just need it in a light purple and my summer rotation is set.

I own a Tissot (quartz PRC200), some Seiko automatics, and a Hamilton Jazzmaster (black dial). All are great for price point and quality. I do tend to favor automatics over quartz though since it doesn't make sense to spend a ton on something that requires a battery. Recently, Steven Alan came out with automatic watches that look pretty good for $285. There's a white dial with gold plating and a black dial with nickel trim. Check it out here: http://www.stevenalan.com/Watches/mens-accessories-watches,default,sc.html

I think they're a steal, especially since they come with a Horween Shell leather strap.




Our new classic style timepieces coming in either a matte black dial with steel case or silver/white dial with gold plated case. Stainless steel construction with clear back window and chrome finish hardware, 21 Jewel Japanese automatic movement, and 20-22mm shell cordovan leather band. Case diameter is 39mm width excluding crown.

• 21 Jewel Japanese movement
• self-luminous hands and markers
• 3ATM water resistant
• Horween Shell Cordovan watch band

without the steven allan logo that silver number would be one hell of a watch
