SeaWolf Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 -sigh- I used to be able to dress well. Then I had kids, they are dirty beasts who insist on crawling all over you. Still keep up with the lifting though so once they are old enough I should still fit into everything. 1
HiWire Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 I'm looking at something fresh for the remainder of the summer: 1
SeaWolf Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Should fit the bill. Has a nice color to the dial.

I like the jacket. What exactly does made to measure mean? I’m thinking they tailor an off the rack jacket, but I honestly don’t know. HS It's somewhere between bespoke and tailored. They use pre-sized blanks but then customize the whole thing for you. I got a great price, thanks to a promo code (I ordered 8 weeks ago, I think). The bracelet is a Paloma Picasso Tiffany "Infinity" in sterling and yellow gold. I really like it, and it will work great for me until I can afford a Juste un clou. 4 hours ago, HiWire said: I'm looking at something fresh for the remainder of the summer: I think it looks great!
HiWire Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Thanks, guys. I follow this thread but don't post as I only have a Timex and a Swatch at the moment. The millenials don't seem to wear wrist watches any more.
Dave R Posted July 27, 2019 Report Posted July 27, 2019 My order for the Reverso 1931 was delivered today, and I love it. Not only is it very nice looking, imo, it’s also extremely comfortable, and although it’s 8 years old it looks brand new. The only slight niggle I have, is with it being used the previous owner(s) had the flip side engraved seen in the photo which I’m not that keen of, other than that I couldn’t be happier. For now I’m going to enjoy the JLC as is, plus I don’t have to look at the flip side, but I’m going to enquire via the place where I bought it, on whether that could be done in the photo below which allows the movement to be seen. Another thing I like about this Reverso, is it looks very different to the Saxonia, apart from it having a black alligator strap and similar coloured metal. Just 4 more photos. ? 3

Thanks, ER. I probably need to look into something similar one of these days. I'm a 40L, but my lower half is pretty damn flat / relatively thin. Pants are always baggy. I try to by a certain cut of the Hart Schaffner Marx and then get it tailored...perhaps a New York fit or a Los Angeles fit...can't recall. They had some dates at my local mall where they were "making to measure" or the like and I missed it. Purchasing slacks for the office is one giant PITA for me. Cool on the bracelet. I don't wear any...perhaps I'll have the wifey gift me one some day. I noticed Omega has some out. HS

I would skip HSM, in your case; even their slim fit is pretty "traditional." Try Brooks "Milano", or the Samuelsohn "Yardley" fit (this is a fit made specifically for Saks), both of which are quite trim. The Hickey-Freeman "H" fit might also work for you, but they are fairly short jackets in that fit (a bit shorter than the slightly cropped Samuelsohn fit I mentioned). All of these are fairly easily found at steep discount, especially if you hit SaksOff5th or NM Lastcall during the right sale, and Brooks often has steep closeouts.

I do own a pair of HF slacks...loved the material and the cut. A bit pricey but I've been pleased with them all around. I'll see if I can register for SaksOff5th...I'm subscribed to their normal site and the prices are a bit stiff. Brooks and NM also. I was a bit more fashion savvy pre-kids. Oh well...LOL. HS 1
EdipisReks1 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Posted July 28, 2019 I basically only buy close-outs. Last year's fabrics ain't that different from this year's, but sure are a lot cheaper! 1

n_maher Posted August 4, 2019 Report Posted August 4, 2019 Went to a wedding last night and decided that I'd already tracked enough steps/activity that I could wear an actual watch. And yes, I know the date is wrong. I was in a rush to get ready and didn't feel up to fiddling. 7

It really is a damned good looking watch! 1
SeaWolf Posted August 4, 2019 Report Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) While I have a smart watch that I use as a wallet and cellphone. The fitness tracker and sleep stuff i never got into. I didn't see it as actionable data. Been waring my 300m all week, at the pool now. My planet ocean had duty last week in Baja. Edited August 4, 2019 by SeaWolf . 2
n_maher Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 My health insurance provided essentially pays me to wear the tracker. If I exercise enough the reimbursement more than pays for the tracker so it's hard not to wear it. Still, I need to be better about taking it off from time to time.
SeaWolf Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Huh I will have to look at if I can get anything from bcbs. I just double fist it sometimes. 1
luvdunhill Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 Can u share the model number for this piece? Interesting to see the word Gaussman on it. Anti magnetic? It’s an AW-251-BM-1T. It is indeed antimagnetic.
EdipisReks1 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 All of you and your Seamasters are making me want one again!! 1

blessingx Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 After four years with the Apple Watch, have been eyeing automatics for about a month. I'm not a watch guy and won't be collecting, but I'm from Ohio and like Panerai, so... 5
tyrion Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 Lum-Tec makes a solid watch. I've owned a couple in the past. 1
blessingx Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks. They certainly make a heavy watch. 1
Dave R Posted August 13, 2019 Report Posted August 13, 2019 I’d like to thank Jacob for sending me his JLC Alligator strap he had for his Reverso, but didn’t use. 2
