Holy ****. Thread on fire and it's only 7:30 am. Welcome back Mainy. Today is going to be a good day.

Wow, some incredibly awesome stuff posted! Each Kiton I scrolled past was more staple than the prior.

Quick question for watch guys:

What do you think about a Breitling Premier Chronograph for $800? Seller says it works and keeps time well. Case is stamped stainless, and it appears to be on an alligator strap. How does the price sound?

Thanks for the help!

I knew I was being a bit too vague in my questions! I have a few pictures from the seller if they help:

I would make sure that the inner chrono dials are all working flawlessly and keeping good time as that movement isn't cheap to service.

here are your comps

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...kw=Breitling+Premier+Chronograph+787&_sacat=0

if you could get it for ~600 I might take a plunge, probably passing at $800.

Thanks so much for the quick help guys! Incredibly helpful, concealed. I wasn't 100% on the model, so that was great.

The seller is firm at $800, so it looks like I'll pass on it. Thanks again!

What is that thing? A bullet proof vest to wear at a political rally in Chicago?

 

[eazye]

"Fashion" bullet proof vest. I'm not sure how effective leather is at stopping a bullet.

When the first thing I touch in a thrift is a Brioni tie, it's gonna be a good day...

i've seen fake ferragamo and hermes in the past few weeks, so... ... legit?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

no label on the tipping, which is fine afaik. there is also a printed label on the "show" side of the skinny end...

Yeah, real. I just passed that same tie the other day, had a huge stain on the front.
