Is it the sign of a serious condition

 
 By: mrds : May 18th, 2021-05:52
... when you feel the urge to match the color of your socks to the stiching on your watch strap? Enjoy your journey, dear friends! Best, Daniel ...  

Hehehe... Good one!

I take it you’re not only a doctor in algebra...

 
 By: mrds : May 18th, 2021-09:37
but also in all good things life has to offer!

I can confirm that, here's the proof of my Pants PhD three years ago (or maybe it was my student, I don't remember ;-))

Now working on my M.S. (Master's in shirts), here's what I just found today in Italy and couldn't resist buying (all three by Isaia, which is becoming *very* fast my #1 shirt brand! ;-)) ...  

Beautiful shirts...

Have you seen the Kiton shirts? The bottom hem is rolled like an Hermes scarf!

We need to go visit Isaia and Kiton in Napoli sometime...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-01:08
And Marco Pescarolo. They're probably all not far from each other!

Cheap

 
 By: m2 : May 21st, 2021-05:32
You can get Kiton, Isaia and others really inexpensively if you buy them BNIB/unworn on eBay fyi. I have Kiton shirts I paid $80 for - never worn

Yep -- while I personally never bought on ebay (though if I get a chance I have no issues buying on sale in a shop), I think it's clear that shirts shouldn't be regarded as an investment...;-))

 
 By: FabR : May 21st, 2021-07:34
Remember this is a site where many of us spend in watches several hundreds if not thousands *times* more than in shirts, so I'm sure this discussion was more on quality/looks than on trying to spend as much as possible ;-)) Cheers.

I have a problem with trust on eBay...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-14:22
So I haven't personally bought any fine clothing on eBay.

Definitely

 
 By: m2 : May 21st, 2021-14:37
Yeah, key is finding reputable sellers with good reviews, just like a watch

I wouldn't even trust Real Real or even auction houses...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-18:52
It's about understanding how these places operate. When you realize that an auction house gets really busy just when they're pushing out the catalogue, that's when all the mistakes happen. Catalogues are printed with hastily written condition reports by p... 

Honestly, maybe I'm just too old, but I almost never bought any serious clothing/shoes/watches anywhere but in person in a shop (the only exception I can remember was some sunglasses on Amazon last year during the lockdowns)...

 
 By: FabR : May 21st, 2021-14:37
I do love doing shopping in person, and unlike many other people (including my girlfriend) I just don't enjoy the total lack of experience of clicking on a link online and receiving the stuff anonymously at my doorstep...this way, most of the pleasure of ... 

I have to do a lot of online shopping...

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-16:34
I have to do a lot of online shopping since my sizing is not always available at the store and is more likely available online. My salesperson is also inundated with requests during sale time. So I buy online, then I give him the order number so he can ha... 

When you do, don’t miss Finamore 1925

 
 By: mrds : May 21st, 2021-07:06
Excellent handmade quality. Maybe not as flamboyant as some of the Isaia designs, but very stylish.

Good suggestion!

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-14:23

I can't wait!

 
 By: patrick_y : May 21st, 2021-14:28

Marco

 
 By: m2 : May 21st, 2021-13:35
Pescarolo actually does a lot of work for other brands too btw, I believe they've done work for Isaia too.

🙏🙏🥂

 
 By: FabR : May 19th, 2021-10:59

😘😂😂

;)

 
 By: amanico : May 20th, 2021-09:42

I have no idea

 
 By: mrds : May 20th, 2021-18:58
what you‘re talking about 🙄

Thank you Ifoo.

 
 By: mrds : May 18th, 2021-09:44
It's a pleasure to wear, too. I'm never tiring to stare at it, no matter front or backside.

Fully concur !!!

 
 By: HobbyCentric : May 18th, 2021-07:06

You are too kind!

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:01
I just try not to be boring to myself...

It would be my pleasure.

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:02
And I'd be reliefed to not having your focus on my socks ;-)

Fantastic watch!

 
 By: afaleh : May 18th, 2021-11:35
Socks are great too, congratulations!

I've matched my socks with the orange seconds hand of my Milgauss.

 
 By: Watch_This : May 18th, 2021-12:38
Doesn’t everyone do this??

Brothers in arms?

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:06
I think everybody should! Thanks, Watch-This.

That watch is....,

 
 By: Jurry : May 18th, 2021-16:03
Stunning, intriguing, fabulous, innovative, gorgeous some other similar words I can’t remember Super!!!!

What I feared.

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:08
I think I need to buy straps with stichings matching to all the socks I have...

Looking forward to my retirement

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:09
I think I'll allocate the first 2 months to just watch the Twin Beat wind down... A WPSer's meditation

Any plans to visit Switzerland?

 
 By: mrds : May 19th, 2021-08:10
Always happy to share my pleasure with true aficionados.

Nicely done
