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

    Since you asked. Here's a high res side-by-side. As you can see, literally everything about the JR is just a bit nicer. That said, they don't force you to go with hand stitching, all belly scales, and a novel, textured tanning. The linings offered are supposed to be some kind of...

    Very nice combination!:cheers: You may be onto something. When I was in the NYC location another gentleman had brought his Calatrava in for a strap. After arriving with much different designs, he too seemed to have ultimately been swayed by the matte blue gator. It really just is so very...

    Thanks! It's Jean Rousseau. The process was quite fun, having Kelly Ann in the NYC atelier pull out all the different alligator hides and narrowing it down to just the right shade of blue, stitching etc. The manufacture has its own tannery, so there are some very unique colors if you go into the...

    New strap. Picked a color that matched the subdial and stitching that matched the dial.

    I tend to prefer white precious metals because they only impress me, the wearer. I'm certainly not against yellow gold, though I would be apprehensive about considering a YG Rolex of any kind. I'm still surprised how much I'm taken by the yachtmaster everose. I suppose you're right, the 5711...

    So all my buddies and I agree that the economic **** is setting a fanward trajectory and are selling our companies while lending is strong and appetites are revenous. Long story short, my buddy owes me a finder's fee and said I could pick any watch within reason. RG Yachtmaster? WG Oysterflex...

    What a fantastic piece. I had no idea how advanced Rolex's technology is. Underground component vaults with advanced robots on rails that can deliver thousands of parts to a technician in 6-8 minutes.... I wonder how far back their genuine parts supply goes. And that part about Rolex being...

    Ultimate "one watch," in my opinion, would be the Nautilus jumbo.

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

    We can look at what Alexandre Mattiusi recommends for his suits as a fairly zeitgeist example of where the dress-casual French sensibility is headed: Velcro and all... Then if we look to the Italians, here is how Brunello Cucinelli is displaying one of his newer suits: In either of...

    I think it's hard to stand on traditions like not wearing a sports watch with a suit more and more these days. In an era of casual-everydays, althleusire and internet connectivity, such traditions begin to appear almost anachronistic. In a desperate attempt to keep selling suits, designers are...

    Fantastic choice. You'll have a tough time beating that. Love JLC. Tell her she could poke around the shops at Hatton Garden and a few at the Burlington Arcade. Though I've never seen a pre-owned Q2712410 in a shop. Might be worthwhile to put in a call to Watches of Mayfair and see if they can...

    Thanks roo. Yeah I don't have any real need for a dress watch either. Ultimately I decided that a watch like this still looks great with casual clothes (I mean, as long as we're not talking about cutoff shorts and a Bud Light tee shirt...). Tradition be damned, I'll wear it as I like. I think...

    You can get them either way. I opted for the simple pin buckle.

    Welcome to the Jaeger-Lecoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon, White Gold Boutique Edition Ref Q1363540, which does not appear to have been photographed in detail or reviewed out on the interwebs yet. I tried this on in Geneva two weekends ago, and it just clicked. I had to have it. Though I did buy it...

    Haven't set foot in my office for almost a year. So I made sure to return on a happy note. For myself anyhow!
