I had a Batman, sold it and managed to get a Pepsi, much prefer...

To each their own?

See, I absolutely think the bluesy is 100% casual. It'll likely be my next watch bc I imagine it will arrive before a GMT BLNR at my AD

Man I just cant deal with it, just a big fat, awkward flashy turd. So many better options for that kind of $$$. But I get it, people love their Rolies. Now a black, 2 line no date...that's a good looking casual tool watch.

It's more muted on wrist, but I get it. Had to warm up to it myself. Was offered this when I was there yesterday... this is a flashy you know what

I have had this once since new in 1994: Explorer II 16570 Polar. Purchased when it was not cool but I liked it.
- all original but the fixed bezel was replaced on the last service because all black lacquer was gone

Hey, why pass up the chance to floss in front of everyone with your Roly/s?

At least take a picture of yourself tying your Carmina shoelaces while flashing your wrist shot to keep it on topic.

The visible joint is not really what bothered me but the metal/staple that we can see inside the joint.
I wasn't sure if that could affect the lifespan of the shoe, but then I was told that it should not affect it so I have kept the second pair.

You can see the metal circled in red.

Thank you all for your help!

Back to topic. BTW beautiful time pieces!!

I can see just minor flaws in those boots. I suggest returning the ones that not fit and enjoy the ones you are keeping. You will always find minor defects in shoes when buying on-line.

Shoes are meant to protect your feet and inevitably you will damage, blem or scratch them.

This may change at some point, I doubt it, but I've never been a watch person.

Seeing these with the natural leather sole, I wish I’d find this route instead of chestnut edge. They look great ?

Does anyone here have an upside down photo comparing Forest and Uetam loafers side by side? Would really like to see how a Forest loafer looks like next to a Uetam one.

I’ve got both so I can take a picture for you but what do you mean by upside down?

Thank you so much! I mean a photo from above, so I can see the shape of the lasts, if you get what I mean.
