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

    Thanks. I assure you that part did not need to be clarified. I heard Pasadena is a mid-tier UC.

    You were a postdoc for FIVE years ? OK, that explains some things. And at Harvard. That's like going to Ferrari, and getting the branded shirt, the nylon jacket, hat and the keychain but not the car.

    Boston has a lot of expensive universities. Once a year, these universities have graduation ceremonies. Parents and families often come by for these events. Many of these families are pretty wealthy that they can send their children to the expensive Boston schools, and many of them live in...

    LOL. So you have moved the goalposts from $144k to now suddenly $820K as 'upper class'. $820K might as well be almost $1m. Thanks for wasting everyone's time, bro. You are better off bringing up BJJ again in every un-related conversation where no one cares about it. Look, the biggest fallacy...

    I won't presume to know about your friends, but IF they bought their home 20 years ago, that would explain a lot. A very large portion of people in NYC also rely on family money, either directly or as a safety net. That is another thing that blinkered academics like @LA Guy relying on...

    @LA Guy You posted this apartment as an adequate home for a middle class family, priced at $3m. https://streeteasy.com/building/dag-hammarskjold-tower/2cd With 20% down, your mortgage is $14,000 a month. But don't forget, you need to pay another $3500 in monthly common charges, and another $2k...

    You literally said this, that's where $150K comes from: "In New York City, you’ll need to make at least $144,541 to be considered a “rich” person in the top 20% of the city’s 8 million-plus residents. The ultra-rich, or the top 5% of earners in NYC, make way more: $585,902 on average, according...

    This is why academics have a bad reputation for being out of touch. When I was making $150K a year, I had a roommate in Midtown and no family. I certainly did not feel "rich". You are looking at NYC with a population of 8m, which includes the Bronx and Queens and Staten Island. No disrespect...

    Gen Z "Zoomers" and Classic Menswear

    That was spot on. But don't bother with DWW. There's no there there. All he seems to do is post on Styleforum, but he has long since run out of things to say. Other than lament how great this forum used to be before #menswear; how all of his much more stylish friends have found better things...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    It's at least somewhat worse in America, because Americans are brought up to believe they are all special and valuable individuals. Therefore, not surprising many struggle with any type of adversity. The culture of overreacting when you receive poor service is correlated with the culture of...

    I'm sure it will sell for huge prices. But aside from being a very hard color to wear, compared to the dark blue and green Nautilus dials, I think it's a poor, lazy design choice because the signature Tiffany blue is really just the color of the box their jewelry comes in. It's not like Tiffany...

    Would You Take Perfect Machine Made or Imperfect Handmade?

    The premise doesn't make sense. The entire point of expensive, artisanal handwork is to be differentiated from machinework, at least in the perception of the consumer. Tailors, shoemakers, watchmakers etc, their livelihoods and reputation relies on making customers believe what they do is...

    The Oxford-Shoe-Worn-Casually Appreciation Thread

    hi @UrbanComposition - Thank you. You've given a lot of context for who Greg is and what he is doing. Of course I know and agree with everything you said. In the spirit of this thread however, may I kindly ask - if you can put aside all you know about Greg and pretend this is a stranger...

    Sneakers With Tailoring: Yes, No, Maybe?

    Oh boy, now i have to take back everything i said about @dieworkwear. He was right - there are truly some hideous shoes on this board.

    Sneakers With Tailoring: Yes, No, Maybe?

    so...what's your point ? my post history is very public, including all the times you've been exposed and then quietly stopped responding. you don't think people should be allowed to disagree with you ? you are free to block or ignore anyone, but you don't get to censor anyone.
