yeah, definitely wouldn't pay full price for one. used to prefer chronograph style watches but realise that they're too chunky looking for my girly wrists. I'd be wearing it most days so I'd prefer an automatic watch, always liked the idea behind them too.

any other watches I should consider? longines perhaps? rolex, omega and tag heuer are a bit gaudy looking for my taste, even their dress watches.

Rolex's are nice as they appreciate in value. Should go to Asia (eg. HK) and go buy a watch there so much cheaper. However, so many people in Asia have Rolex's even middle class people so it's kinda lost its class, I remember one of my taxi drivers in HK was wearing a real Rolex. I don't really rate Longine watches might as well get a Omega they are nice. Other watches that you can look at are:

- Graham

- Corum

- Ball

- Glashutte

- Girard Perregaux

- Hamilton

- Officine Penerai

i am not a big fan of watches in general.. but saw a piece exhibited in the tokyo design week, a little pimp but i am quite liking it.

[DJI]

that's pretty cool fen. I don't usually wear a watch casually but want one to wear to work, something nice and classic. thanks for the suggestions ed, will have to go try some pieces on in store.

[fenrost]

^yah the watch is pretty cool. took them awhile to decide to go into production and will be instore end of this year. : \ but need proxies to get em.

... japan offer was too good to decline.. will be there from the 10th-22nd of Sept. GEEEEEEEEE'D!

[DJI]

haha, nice one mel. be sure to check out the _7 nubuck hoodie for me if you can mang.

[fenrost]

melv. if u like it do not hesitate.

i think i found a black pair of ccp rubber dip in my size..

[TTT]

planning to come to syd around 27th melv!

oh japan will be amazing, i'd love to go.

[DJI]

still looking for a cheaper alternative to these, aussie designers still seem to think drop crotch sweats are the coolest thing ever though.

[melvin7]

haha, nice one mel. be sure to check out the _7 nubuck hoodie for me if you can mang.

nps man will do. last time i went to japan i had nfi where all the good shops are. this time ill go prepared readin arto's guide atm. I'll be going with my family though so im guessing ill only have 1-2 days max to go around by myself.

haha fen i dont think ill be copping large ticketed items this time around! still gotta save for julius s/s10 grey moto

how long you gonna be in syd for Arj??

[selkies]

first nat drop now on NVR END.

how is lad's quality like? if they are really good then i suppose it's worth the money mang.. agree looks good.

drop crotch sweats imo are for tall slim dudes.

[fenrost]

haha fen i dont think ill be copping large ticketed items this time around! still gotta save for julius s/s10 grey moto

perhaps the waxed version of the hoodie? they seems quite decent as well.

[DJI]

interested to see how grey the leather is on that moto, _7 have never produced a straight grey leather before (I prefer black any day anyway ). I think arto's shots are probably a better representation of the colour:

quality of lad is really good fen, up there with some of the more expensive japanese labels. still pricey for sweats but they're probably the best I've seen (cut like their slim slacks, very minimal). agree that drop crotch sweats only work on really tall and slim guys, even then it can look awkward...

[fenrost]

^haha.. how about the sweats in the julius shot?

they look comfy

[DJI]

look more like leggings to me, sack hammock concept.

[Chin]

D, these are my picks for watches with classic and simple design. Georg Jensen Koppel watch

[fenrost]

dunno if i wanna kop black moto now... how i wish there is a white moto in julius.

[jbone]

Georg Jensen is all class...

i went in to the store and the ring my gf wanted was 3K!!!!!... just a bit too much for a bday present

u got any idea what the price is like on the watch Chin?

[jbone]

btw them lad cotton sweats look great D...

i reckon you should get them

[Chin]

jbone they are not that expensive in comparison to other well-known brands, they are retailed EUR600 (large) and EUR 640(small) or in Australia AUD1930(large) and AUD1750(small). yes, bloody ripped off if you buy any GJ in Australia, everything is so overpriced here, that's disgusting!

[DJI]

I like that Georg Jensen watch a lot chin, have to check them out too. yeah the australian prices were a wtf, glad to hear that the international prices are more reasonable.

haha, the sweats do look good jb. waiting till they put them up on the webstore with a sizing chart and more pics (not sure if they have drawstrings yet), probably pick them up in person if I do get them though.

fen black moto is the way to go, complete your _7 leather collection.

[fenrost]

too much black in my closet..

need to start filtering when i get my jut i guess.

[Chin]

same here fenrost, i just realised the last 5 items I bought lately were all black, really need to inject some grey,beige, dusty/earthy kind of colours into my wardrobe. btw fenrost, i believe the latex dipped trainer is gonna be around 3k at EM, don't quote me tho

yeah should be around that price actually. any idea when their shipping arrives?

[fenrost]

will shoot stephen an email. : \

Atelier quoted me USD 2550 = AUD 3030++ left 1 pair in size 41 - (they can get more in)

Darklands quoted CAD 2566 = AUD 2800++ white version sold out (need to make preorders)

Shelter is around 3420+

lusting the black sole version.

[Chin]

i did ask but they also don't know, i guess that might be because EM did one of the biggest buy internationally so it takes longer time to produce. I am eager to see their buy for the outerwear especially the one stephen mentioned, the coat that is cut all on the fabric's selvage then they manually(iron) curve the fabric to suit the pattern to create this unique interior like the taped seam coat

[fenrost]

thanks for the info. the coat sound extreme, just like any other ccp's pieces.
