I was thinking just this too! OP, you have the PERFECT excuse to increase the size of your collection a little. Given that you have a Pilot, perhaps you should consider a diver or a sporting chrono?...
If you want to go to the front of the queue in terms of impact, there are some variations you can go for. One would be a dinner suit with (for example) a midnight blue velvet jacket (with usual...
Is that a little blue stick man diving down the (teeny) dial? Hmm - it's different, but not really in a good way.
I think it's actually quite a tough balance. I stopped wearing my 'nice' watches on a daily basis a couple of years ago as I got all worried about forgetting that I was wearing one while washing my...
Pretty short sighted corporatism, if you ask me. I sometimes think that the people who make these decisions are actually some kind of low-level psychopaths who hate society/tradition/community and...
As an alternative to Loakes and Grensons, you might consider Trickers. Having worn all 3, I regard them as being better made than Loake and available in a number of quite interesting styles. I...

I'm always amazed at how resistant my DA37 is to picking up marks. I wear it a lot and after 4 or 5 years it still looks brand new.
Thanks for posting a nice review of a great watch. I...
I'm 39 and managed 20Hz to 17kHz. Amazing really after all the metal and punk I've put my ears through!
First time round it was a 16600 Sea Dweller.
After much collecting, I mostly now wear the G-Shock Mudman!
Next 'one' is going to be a vintage Doxa, I think.
I come out of TZ-UK hiding for the first time in MONTHS and there is a new-Dreadnought Feeding Frenzy on!
Oh heck, where do I sign?
I would love number 37 (to go with My PRS 'Radio Room', DA37...
I'm afraid I can't offer much advice about torches etc but my top Africa tip is to be patient, keep your sense of humour and try to be ready with a smile whatever happens. It's got me out of a few...
Oh bu**er! I never wear a tie any more - I rather like the idea of a suit with no tie. Just when I though I was sorted (having had the boot question more or less answered) and now I hear you need...

Hi Chaps - Thanks for the comprehensive replies - I've enjoyed reading them! :)
I don't have any management to impress though I do want to be considered trustworthy by my clients. I'm not French...
Excellent. Maybe it's a rider thing (the covering of the ankles).
But sir, you're an American are you not? Last time I went there, everyone was wearing slip-on loafers and mocassins with their suits!!! :shock: And pastel colour socks... :cry:
Even a lumpen...
Excellent, thanks. I think the Fred boots have quite thick soles - so maybe that's the key to them not looking right with a suit?
Looks like Chelsea boots and suits are the way - which is good in...
I sometimes do that on my motorbike. I find it oddly comforting (until it rains and I wished I'd put my trousers outside my boots).
Anyway, I'm warming to this boot and suit thing. :D
Aaah - cool. Alas, I'll never look like John Steed - except possibly from the mid-calf down! Thanks :)
I take it lace up boots are always a no-no then? Even smart ones.
Hey folks,
So, I'm trying to be a bit less scruffy. I'm an IT consultant (which forgives most of my fashion blunders as people just think 'he's a geek, 'nuff said') and I normally wear an open...
Welcome! Excellent intro and interesting collection. Your mechanical alarm watches are very nice! :)
To be fair to the OP, Andy's post did cause a little too much in the way of unseemly outburts from would-be buyers. I'm reading this post as an effort to make a little comment on that - which is...
Me too. A cross border raid! Dates etc?
Hi chaps,
Just a quick update to say that things are looking up. The initial horrors of having all sorts of bleeding bumps on my face have been replaced by the odd little nick and the results, in...
