And @Zaos1 if you never actually email them to start the process, the timer never starts...

P.S. the other saying I like was from AM, he literally said “August/ December is the shortest month of the year”

Just wanted to add a few photos of the Decurion 3 in Amber Patina, from the recent patina services overed on AM's site.

Is it Amber in low light?

that is really a nice medium brown. AM has a ton of brown, maybe one day he should just re shoot them side by side without the overly contrasting

but might as well at this point..., I mean other than his dark brown (coffee toasto?), anything is random IG guess..., though he hasn't failed me once I have to say

He does have the eye for it. Very talented.

Yea what I like about Antonio is that everything he makes is very tasteful. Never disappoints.

 

[clee1982]

yup, I mean, other than the latest modified hastus where I actually have seen the color many times, all my purchase has been semi-blind (yea there are some IG pictures, but I think his IG picture is overly contrasted)

Gents - apologies if this has been discussed before on this thread.
How does everyone size AM versus other makers (EG 82/202/666, Alden Barrie / Plaza, JL 4395/ 7000, CJ 325/ 240 etc).
I’m looking at Argentum soft square / round lasts.

Thank you

 

[clee1982]

Generically speaking it should be your EG/GG size. It was the case for me on Chisel 2 (UK 9E), but for soft square I need "F" (Wide) instead of "E" (regular), though AM, generically speaking has high instep, so got to take that into account.

From your list, I "think" I'm EG 82 9E UK (I owned a 9D that I had to sell due to toebox too narrow, it was those Saks Fifth model), definitely US 9D in barrie, but I don't have long term experience. CJ 325 in 8.5E UK is too narrow in toebox for me, CJ 341 in 8.5E UK is better.

I don't recall my EG 202, but it's quite generous that I don't think I would have any problem anyway (and never like the last shape enough to buy, so...)

Very nice. If your wife gets angry and you need to...uh thin your collection, you know who to call haha. Wish I jumped on those Yeossal GMTO a few years ago.

 

[clee1982]

I definitely regret not jumping on the Centurion GMTO
