Longines cal. 12.68z and TCBs today

Big Bro 2s today. I’m tempted by the ones going to SE in a few weeks...

Universal Geneve (now on a vintage beads of rice bracelet) and Samurai S511NBK today

Indoor and outdoor shots of my 727s today. Said fuck it on repairs and am living with the knee hole. My favorite pair of jeans I’ve ever worn.

Newest acquisition (and my Roy Big Bro 2s) - all original Universal Geneve cal.263 cased in 18k gold. I love the gold numerals and the center seconds on this guy

1109xx, fresh off their 10th wash (since October 2018). 

Wearing my Big Bro 2s today. I got these over 4 years ago and they still feel like they have a ways to go. It’s crazy how different the fabric can look from one lighting to another and they kinda feel like a different pair of jeans each time I wear them

Nice fit mate!

do you mind sharing the measurement of this jeans? do you think the sizing chart on denimio is accurate?

after looking at your post, i'm tempted to pick it up.

Thank you in advance

Denimio's chart is very accurate, based on the pair I got (mine are size 31).

So I know these gots some, shall I say, mixed thoughts a few pages back, but I got a pair of the TCB x Denimo collaboration jeans yesterday, and I quite like them. I agree that the ankle hole is a bit small, but otherwise this fit works for me and I’m so glad to finally have a pair in this fabric after loving it oh my 50s jacket.

@STINGER93 how would you say the sizing is?
I think the only sneakers I have that are size 11 and fit well are the Lofgren low tops.
I'm a 12 in most everything else.

I got a size uk  10 in these and it’s perfect. I wear a US 11 in new balance, 12 in Nike’s, 10.5 or 11 in most boots/dress shoes

They're really really really fucking great.

So these guys arrived yesterday. They fit great (sz 10) and I’m loving the white suede. I had never considered a pair of sneakers like these (from any of the Japanese brands that do them) before last week, but these are just wonderful

Ulysse Nardin and Full Counts today.

Edit: idk why this is blurry in the post , but worth clicking-through/this might be the only wrist shot I've ever done I really like

What defines a calatrava style watch?

It’s the name for Patek Phillipe’s line of time-only dress watches. It’s a bit of a controversial term when applied to watches from other manufactures, but collectors will use it to refer to other Swiss time-only watches (often, but not necessarily manually wound ones) that have a similar case shape to Patek’s reference 96, 570, or 565 watches. This is a bit of a generalization but it’s what I would mean if I were to call a non-Patek watch a calatrava. That being said, the only true Calatravas are made by Patek Philippe.

Is the rice bracelet comfortable @STINGER93?

It is! Surprisingly so.

The far right one with the mesh style bracelet is very nice. 

Thanks! That’s an Ulysse Nardin, I posted a wrist shot a page or two back. I almost sold it, but then I got bracelet for it and that completely changed it. (It’s a modern generic beads of rice bracelet - one from the same era as the watch would’ve cost way too much).

30s or 40s Omega calatrava, sector dial with Breguet numerals at 3, 9, 12 against my Roy Big Bro 2s

Below are all my calatrava-style watches - this has become something of an obsession of mine. I want to add an actual Calatrava (I.e. one made by Patek) but that’s a ways down the road.

Full Counts and my Longines again, now on a dark green strap. Not a great shot of the jeans, but love how the light caught the watch.

I abruptly sold my Air King this week since I found an opportunity to snag an old sector dial Omega that was just too good to pass up. (That should be here Saturday...)

Desperately need to bring my 727s in to SENY for some much needed knee repair. 14 months actual wear - haven’t worn em since the last wash which opened up that hole...

Samurai S511BK

This is why I love the glossy black Rolex dials so much - they do ridiculous things in direct sunlight

Been looking for a pair of leather pants for years and i just Scored these Schott Leather 5 pocket pants, unworn with tags on eBay for less than $200. Solid fit and they’re made of a nice kinda heavy steerhide. I guess Levi’s arc copyright only extends to denim? 

Here’s my 1109xx I got back in early October. Worn roughly 4x per week since, and I think I’ve washed em 6 times so far.
