I've got a drawer full of dozens of pairs that I never wear. I prefer silk knots these days.
2 of my favourite pairs, for obvious reasons!!!!

I would love to own an expensive pair, but cufflinks seem to be the one thing that I leave behind, drop, lose, leave on my desk, put in my bag etc, etc...
As a consequence, I haven't progressed beyond Marks and Spencers 'Paul Smith' lookalikeys...
I have thes

Oh these arent expensive just not available in the shops, kinda uniqueOriginally Posted by andyjay
Went into Omega in The Royal Exchange the other day to see what their cufflinks were like.
Took a shine to these Seamaster ones http://www.omega.ch/index.php?id=115...=55&no_cache=1
But made a swift exit on hearing the price - £170. :shock:
Back to the silk knots for me :wink: Doesn't matter if you lose a few here and there.
and the joke is they are stainless steel :shock:Originally Posted by AlphaOmega

To be fair they did offer to chuck in a pair if I bought a Moonwatch :lol:
That sounds like exactly the kind of thing Mr Humphries would sell, and wear...Originally Posted by Seamaster73
So clever my foot fell off.
I don't have any cuffs! :lol:
Cheers,
Neil.
liking the watch ones - different! I've done well at weddings recently, a pair of Paul Smith from good friend and some Hugo Boss ones last month from my sister!
Are WISs not nervous that metal cufflinks will scratch their watches? :lol:
Thanks Seamaster for generating a whole new level of paranoia :shock:Originally Posted by Seamaster73
Those are excellent. Where are they from?Originally Posted by 100thmonkey
Missing the other Guinness one at the front.
I particularly like the pill-box ones (unscrewed) and the hammer and saw ones, which were a gift from work (where I am an orthopaedic surgeon)
I've always hated wearing metal cufflinks with a watch. Everytime stainless steel touches stainles steel I can't help but wince!
Prefer simple silk knots, but my favourite pair is my old college coat of arms. Prefer cufflinks to have a personal meaning rather than random objects / shapes.
I have these, all antique or vintage and all silver. I´ve never worn cufflinks in my life, don´t know why I collected them.
I had a pair of those guinness cufflinks some years back and a small guinnes keyring knife - I have just demolished half the house looking for them to no avail.
I bet that woman has thrown them in the garage or something.
Tut !!

love the MB's, but the custom made ones on the left get the most cufftime, got them from SWMBO :drunken:

Lots, but these get worn most

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
I rotate two pairs, one pair of solid silver lumps that my folks got me for graduating, another that I got for christmas a couple of years ago. I like the ones I've got so much I never saw the need inbuying other ones.
Have several pairs but usually just wear one of my two pairs of decent (solid silver) chainlinks. I find the solid bar links make my cuffs uncomfortably tight over the larger watches I tend to wear these days.
I don't have pics, but as they are pretty discrete / non-descript I just can’t be arsed to photograph them.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
As I have cufflinks spread across three European cities this will be only the first post.
These were a Christmas present from my mother - bought in Weirs of Grafton Street.
These from the Kilkenny Design Centre
And these from the Design Yard in East Essex Street
These from the gift shop in the Ethnology Museum in Sofia
These from a silversmith in Beyoglu in Istanbul
And these from the Anitkabir; Ataturk's mausoleum in Ankara. On reflection there is a resemblance to Putin.
A pair of Norwegian 5 Ore coins bought in the Forsvarsmuseet in Oslo
These are from a rather decrepit Light Infantry cross belt that I had hoped to restore. It disintegrated but the studs make great links.
A pair of RAOC links I have had for years
And a cheap brass pair with a Royal Cypher
The best until last. A silver pair from Longmire in St James'
