Quadron? Great watch, I have one too, almost the same as this

but you guys are tempting me to try an Omega.
No it's a square wristwatch with a round movement though.

Some of those old Gruens--especially the Dietrich Gruens--were beautifully finished.

i started this thread 2 years ago, my tastes have changed obviously... and i tend to have a running list of things i want so i feel like i am okay for resurrecting this.

it isn't necessarily stuff that is out of reach, hard to find, or any of those things... simply things i don't have that i would like to have or plan on getting asap.

white/red/navy fred perry shirt... it probably wouldn't get a ton of wear until spring rolled around, but i feel like it is the perfect spring summer shirt for nice casual dinners, or just cruising around town.

[i can't seem to find a good picture] some brown florsheim or the like sidezip ankle/beatle type boots. i see various guys around town sporting worn vintage boots like them... i think they aren't too cowboyish, and aren't quite as dandy and proper as like the paul smith boots everyone here seems to have.

n-1 or foul weather deck jacket. i really like the mister freedom version, but feel like with some persistence i would be able to find something similar, or similar enough.

a lee/wards/sears... basically an 'off brand' sherpa lined jean jacket, or a wrangler sherpa lined chore coat. i used to see them all the time in thrift stores in sizes like 48,40, et cetera. I always have my eyes opened for them, but they never seem to turn up.

vintage russell athletics t-shirts

engineer boots

a not from wal-mart military watch

some slimmish duck cotton work pants. i really like the color of dickies/carhartt work pants but the fit is too large in the thigh and leg. i suppose i could try having them tapered, but i feel like they'd look like total ass. i liked the 511 for a while, and i have been wearing them to work... but they aren't the wonder slack they were when i first got them.

a green/white varsity coat... its gonna turn up in a thrift store i just know it... though i feel it would take me a while not to feel like kevin arnold sporting it

slim shorts, i liked the ones i had from target, but they are basically old dude golf shorts

Red leather jacket. Not sure what brand, but will be obtained.

-Raf Simons suit probably in black
-Jil Sander charcoal V-Neck
-Aldens boots in #8 cordovan
-W+H sneakers in gray

Though, realistically, I don't see myself getting more than 1 of these within the next year.

Alden Fan 60's in black probably, if they're good for snow.

definitely some burgundy leather boots not sure what style I'm looking for though

Now we're talking...

Also some boat shoes (Sperry) for a cruise I have coming up soon.

EG Bird Shooter in Khaki ripstop...big time

I have a massive list.

I keep a text file on my iPhone that I play around with when I'm bored.

ATM, I'm just getting basic pieces.

Next year, I want to be getting quality footwear (Crockett and Jones, Paul Smith) build a professional wardrobe (all MTM / Bespoke) and get key pieces for my casual wardrobe - a rediculously expensive leather, rediculously expensive shoes and some MTM pieces, a M65 shirtjacket and an M65 in grey tweed, lined with wool.

W+H grey denim
Krane cyril
Tailored shirts...

realistically, I think the shirts are the only thing that'll happen anytime soon; money's tight for now.

Barbour A7 International
Alden #8 Longwings

That's about it for SW&D, but I really need to build my business/professional wardrobe.

I'm always afraid I'll be ashamed of these old kop lists.
