Btw what the name of that shirt cuff? That non folded over french cuff i mean

It's a Single Cuff. It's more formal than a French Cuff and the right one for White Tie, aka Full Dress. IME true Single Cuff shirts are rare OTR, but you may find Convertible Cuffs, where the button can be hidden for Single Cuff functionality, like on this Salvatore Piccolo shirt:

Spoiler: pics

Or you can just have them made that way, like frills ;-)

Sizing on the Corthay might vary by last though. I sized a 10 for the 001 Arca, but ended up buying a 10.5 for the Pullman last.

Also, not a watch but needed to share with TWAT brethren - had these polished the other day (finally, after more than a year of owning them).

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

There are wingtips - and then there are seriously breathtaking works of art like this one from Corthay.

These shoes are insane, in a good way.

Love those shoes, Frilly. The colour is magnificent. But the shine guy isn't selling himself dressed like that!  Question: did you have to size up in G&G and Corthay?  I would need at least a half size longer in the latter.

Also, that's a great Nautilus pic, you know why?  Because it's so natural.  The arty shots are great, but this one really makes me want to wear it.

Love the shoes, but really love the Nautilus pic. I am in complete agreement, it really shows off how versatile the Nautilus is. It looks completely at home in a shirt and tie.

Also, just saw this posted... first live pics I have seen of the new Hybris Mechanica 11. Very svelte:

Fixed for Stitchy.

Nice looking Cellini. What's the case size stichy, 35-ish?

 

[TheWraith]



Thanks Wraith too

Your Rolex, Cleav, is it 34mm or 36mm?

 

[Cleav]

That's a nice Cellini, not seen that one before. Something v dressy about em without em shouting at you.

I've always had a soft spot for a Cellini. Tried on a Cestello before Christmas but it couldn't get me over the line. I really like the look of a Prince but can't get to try one. That said the Reverso is in front for me.

Small is good, Stitchy. My Tudor is only 32mm (what I once thought was too small), but I think it looks great! Mind you, my wrists aren't very thick, so maybe that has something to do with it

Your Rolex, Cleav, is it 34mm or 36mm?

I believe it to be 36mm my friend

 

[TheWraith]

Thanks

I did not actually measure it, but as far as what I've seen online supposedly it is about 32 MM.

It definitely wears nice, and I would not say no to it, it just feels a little small to me. Then again, I have not really owned a proper dress watch like that for very long time.

To sum it up, I would gladly wear it. It is a beautiful watch.

Hmmm....for me personally, that's below the Mendoza line.

It does look pretty sharp though.

Dial appears to be a slate gray vs. the more widely-seen silver tone.

 

[in stitches]

The slate gray is excellent. I will try and measure it tomorrow and report back with the actual mm measurements.
