let's talk about our fave high-margin goods brehs

i've been hitting the samples again and am enamored with

(for my wife anyway)

what a strange unearthly thing. freshly planted/dug up flowers in cold earth? wut? it's a shockingly tactile smell; chrysanthemum and dirt (srs). a worthy sister to my personal godsmell, iris silver mist.

Sounds very Alpine.

actually it reminds me of Millias' Ophelia, but in smell form.

Believe it or not Kenneth Cole black gets the most compliments for me.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #4 on:** March 13, 2015, 08:44:57 PM »

never smelled it, but looking at the notes, I can see why; citrus+ginger+cedar is a good combo.

They make watches a normal person wouldn't look down on, I'm not surprised. (no horo)

santal de mysore - serge lutens

tam dao - dyptique

also I'm reading tam dao reviews people and are comparing it to jeux de peau (serge lutens) which is way off since jeux de peau is mad groce

also if you're into rich, indulgent and spicy things, one should check out most of serge lutens' output in general.

I've been rocking this watch for about 3 years...great watch.

But I think I'm due for an upgrade this fall. Any recommendations guys?

No gold
No leather straps
No digital anywhere

Classic

Less than say 3, 500 or the wife will start sniffing. I'll give the Tissot to the kid as going to college present.

Kara · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2015, 02:43:32 AM »

From what I know of you I'd suggest a Hamilton, but iirc all their classic models come with leather straps.

What do you think of the TAG Carrera?

http://m.jomashop.com/tag-heuer-wv211b-ba0787.html#0

Brand isn't a head turner these days, but someone who wears Tissot dgaf that. (I mean this in a good way. I love the look of that Tissot.)

I'm kind of an Orient stan but I don't think they really do high end that well.

Tag is aight

Oriental seems to have too much hassle going on for me. I might just buy a nice rolex and bear it.

Speaking of high class.....I had some wine last night that was over 2 racks a bottle. It tasted like two buck chuck.....

Orient is a horosexual thing because they make all their own mechanical movements. I don't like skeletons either.

Lotta metal band offerings from Rolex are "diving" but you can duck that. I think the Explorer is outside your budget, unfortunately.

Much like every man....what I want to spend and what I will spend will differ based on the salesman.

Went balls out and got this one guys!

That color is GORGEOUS.

nudemacusers · « **Reply #21 on:** March 17, 2015, 11:43:44 PM »

that is a nice watch for sure. a good summer color.

speaking of unnecessary purchases, I'm gearing up for next winter.. I think the theme will be ponyskin indulgence. I've realized it's not enough for just one animal to die for my comfort. I just ordered some gloves, now to get these boots (far right):

Hell yeah I am. It's subtle branding. Or maybe subtle is the wrong word... something that a refined individual would notice.

Plus Warhol approved and that knickerbocker knew

when he saw it.

Very dapper grail there.

God I love The Watch Snob.

At first glance, Tudor is the perfect watch for the United States market. The most popular ones are beefy sports watches that look best on fat wrists; they look upmarket but have pedestrian movements, making them affordable for the middle manager whose wife would never allow a $5,000 watch in the house. And Tudors are Rolexes without the Rolex stigma for all the Midwestern Lutherans who always wanted to own a Rolex but never had the guts to wear one.

Pipes feel too short for these to be exhaust headers, is this classified as a manifold?
