Other should or shouldn't I: More Geller I've sorta grapled with this before, I guess I just don't know. I have enough margiela / raf / jil / dries I dont really need any more Belgians (cept Schneider :love: :love

and even then, I sorta have plenty anyway. I wear some darker rougher stuff from time to time and I guess I sorta like the Geller aesthetic. Sway me one way or the other?

Thanks man, I've seen alot of the Seiko work before. I dont mind it. The one diver I really liked from Seiko was way too huge on me, thick as ****.

Watch rotation as it stands

Vintage Early 60's Omega Seamaster, Brushed Steel with Cyclops Date
Vintage Mid 90's Omega Speedmater Automatic, Hesalite Crystal
Vintage Early 70's Seiko 5 - Orginial Mineral Crystal and a Black / Grey Nato Band (Grandfathers Watch, Love this thing)

I want a Speedmaster Pro, a dress watch and something like above, obviously not in that order.

Re: McNairy shoes, if you're looking for the type of shoes he tends to make (like red sole bucks, crepe sole longwings; informal shoes on unsleek lasts) you could do a lot worse than his shoes, which are quite well made, if not C+J handgrade level. I can understand the disappointment in the new WWM stuff but there are zero quality issues with any McNairy clothing or shoes. Next fall get ready to see a few more brands using Sanders for their kicks.

scott.m has some sort of grudge here that I don't get


I just feel like "mcNasty" seems like an asshole. Mark needs to grow up and take the supreme fitted off. I more have distaste towards him as a person. The shoes felt fine quality wise, they were just incredibly dainty from when I tried them on.

I see alot of post punk (Robert Smith :love: ) in his work, and depending on how it's styled can be darker and moody, some grunge elements I enjoy too. That's what I mean. I think 'dark' has come to equal Rick / CCP / Julius / Derevitives there of and I dont really want to wear that stuff, except for shoes and belts.

My color palette would work pretty well with it IMO, I'm all grey / charcoal / black / navy

I'm happy with my fall wardrobe, wanna mix things up in the summer, rather than wearing GATs, club monaco jersey shorts, and uni-qlo vnecks every day like last summer..

Going to get another pair of shoes. Deciding between 2 pairs. Oxfords wingtip

or
11628-p-2x.jpg
I'm going to have it custom made to fit me and can only afford one. The Wingtipped Oxfords on top is a sample work. I'm going to be wearing these 99% of the time with jeans(mostly denim). as my activities do not permit me to wear wool trousers. A little direction would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty much impossible to compare these two.. They are so different, it all depends on what your wardrobe consists of and which way you want to go.
