In the notes section just mention that you will pick up in person to have the strap mounted and the pinhole punched. Unfortunately, they just raised prices 2-3 weeks ago...

nice Sinn TleM. Looks better than I would have expected on that grosgrain strap.

Styleforum is a great place to come to learn about brands and quality and options, but it isn't a place to come about actual style. Use the forum for what you can, for some people it's posting in threads about all the new stuff they bought on credit, for others, it's reading about what others bought, learning about these items and investigating based on their own taste.

Alright you bastiches. Here's the other side. I'm not a Rolex fan; I just happen to have a very passionate affair with this one particular watch. I agree with KtownGreg who said "Often simple is best."

Also, I'm pretty familiar with the concept of Appreciation, and this Christopher Ward shot definitely qualifies. It may not be your favorite flavor of unobtanium, grail Appreciation, but it is Appreciation.

That CW watch is plain ugly. And at CAD$600, does not qualify for this thread. Please remove. Now we're talking!
