    Post pics of your favorite dress watch.

    Great cropping there, buddy http://www.feelgoodwatches.com/produ...oducts_id/2908 That was the only picture of a 3940 that I could readily locate. You will notice that the dial notations aren't even in English. Mine is in English. In any case, you do get an idea of what my watch looks like.

    What is your dream watch?

    Patek 3940 Perpetual calendar. One of my favorites and I wear it most often.

    Are the larger size watches simply a fad?

    These pictures are exactly what I am inquiring about. Maybe it is just me but, although the watches look good, my thoughts are they are huge compared to his wrist size. When looking at the pictures, notice how the lugs of the watch extend out to nearly the total width of the wrist. Again, no...

    Are the larger size watches simply a fad?

    My Patek 3940 is a perpetual calendar at 36mm. You will notice that even the perpetual minute repeaters, such as the 5004 Grand Complication is only 36.7mm. Certainly a tribute to Patek for this accomplishment. This is why I have such appreciation of Patek's time pieces. I find them simply...

    Are the larger size watches simply a fad?

    After purchasing my Patek 3940, which is a 36mm size watch, I notice that many of the newer model Pateks are larger in diameter. These larger watches look to me to be more of a sport watch than a dress watch. I am aware that many other brands now offer these larger sport watches and I assume...

    Patek, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold or White Gold. Help in choosing the color.

    Your apology is not necessary. It was just amusing to me to read Patek and cheap in the same sentence. I took it all in jest.

    Patek, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold or White Gold. Help in choosing the color.

    I guess I won't worry about meeting someone that points out and accuses me of going "cheaper" with the YG when they happen to notice my Patek. That was a joke folks...LOL.

    Comment on my new leather blazer.

    I purchased a luciously soft brown leather blazer from Stefano Ricci and love it. Many women compliment how good it looks and it looks so soft they have to reach out and touch it. Works for me. Give it a try.

    Patek, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold or White Gold. Help in choosing the color.

    First of all I would like to thank those who responded. There is a number of very qualified individuals whom are willing to share their vast knowledge and opinions and I continue to peruse this site for advice. I do not claim to "know it all" and find this site very helpful in the quest to...

    Stefano Ricci

    I own several pieces of SR clothing which include dress shirts, sport shirts, ties and leathers. The shirts are made of some of the nicest materials I have seen, even comparing them to my Zilli shirts and Kiton shirts. The ties are thick and I find the length to be perfect for me (they are...

    Patek, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold or White Gold. Help in choosing the color.

    I am looking at several models and all have the white dial with gold hands. Of course the gold hands match the y/g case. Model # 5110, 5146 and the 5130 World Time model. The 5130 is available in r/g.

    Patek, Yellow Gold, Rose Gold or White Gold. Help in choosing the color.

    I have picked out the Patek I want to purchase but am wondering what the preference is on metal color. White Gold, Yellow Gold or Rose Gold. In speaking to the Patek saleman, he indicated that White Gold is the most popular, but that may be because that is what he has in stock. Any advice...

    Longer rise denim

    I am 6'5" tall and am having trouble finding quality denim that isn't low rise. I am looking for an 11" or 12" rise. Does anyone know what brands offer this longer rise style besides Wrangler jeans?

    Longer rise denim

    I am quite tall at 6'5" and am having trouble finding quality denim that has a longer rise. Most of the nicer denim jeans I see have "low rise" of about 9"-10". Does anyone know of a brand that comes in a 12" rise besides the regular Levi brand?

    shirts, red button hole stitching...

    I hear that the contrasting stitching shirts are often called Johnnie Cochran shirts, named after him.

    shirts, red button hole stitching...

    I have seen several shirts with contrasting stitching on the collars and cuffs. In fact, my brother is wearing one of his today. It is a lavender pinstriped Zilli with white collar and cuffs. Both the collar and cuffs have 3 rows of lavender stitching (approximately 1/4" wide). Looks...

    Spectator Summer Shoes

    I have to agree that the wing tip spectators get my vote. I wear both the C&J Gerrard and the Edward Green Malvern spectators. I like the Melvern's darker chestnut color better than the lighter shade of the Gerrards. I do have a pair of Vass spectators as well, although, they are all two...

    I am looking for quality linen handkerchiefs to use as a handkerchief, not a pocket square.
