  1. These guys should be paying me a commission
  2. Uh, well i guess it depends on your taste. In the photo you posted its stacked. See how the sleves are all stacked up, instead of falling straight down? Same as in the brown one i posted. Thats the style.
  3. I almost bought that one myself. The expanding/strechy cuffs will mean the sleve legth will work out fine, because they will force the sleves to stack up.
  4. Which one did you buy? They make it after you order, so it takes a while. My first one took 4 weeks, second one took two weeks.
  5. Do you wear other slim cut jackets? All my suits are slim cut (im certainly not a slim guy at 6"3' and 105kg). Are you just used to baggier clothes? Were you able to zip it up? I dont really understand what you mean? The jackets I have from them are about as good as it gets, without spending $2000+ By the way im not a sales rep or anything
  6. I wear XL in most things. Their XL fits me great.
  7. Yeah I was a bit nervous about that with my first purchase. If you have a well fitting shirt you can get a tape measure and try out some of the measurements listed and see if they are about right for you. For me the back and length sounded fine so I ordered one. Lots of their jackets have sleves that are designed to 'stack' down your arm, so the arm length sounds really long. Also keep in mind that leather moulds itself to your body over time, espcecially across your shoulders.
  8. Oh and if you want an excuse to get leather clad, read this: http://www.gq.com/how-to/fashion/200807/leather-jacket-buy
  9. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up about this company. If you're in the market for a fashion-forward leather jacket these guys are pretty much the only way to go, and by far the most cost effective. I'm posting this because I've just received my 2nd jacket from them and freaken love it, and its an absolute steal. They do have a website, but all their best stuff is sold through ebay. They've gotten in trouble with Italian authorities in the past for claiming they copy brands 1:1. I beleive they acutally got shut down for a while but they seem to be running at 100% at the moment. I found them when obessing over a Rick Owens jacket that I tried on in a store but couldnt afford to spend 1900 quid on. When I got a jacket from this company in the mail I was blown away, the fit was a little different but the quality of leather was about 95% off the Rick Owens version. They really do use lamb leather which makes the
  10. I love reading this kind of thing. Its like the dating advice columns in mags like Zoo and Nuts. Good for a laugh but dont beleive it. Granted pretty much everything she says is basically true, never ever trust a woman on fashion advice. You'll end up looking so plain that even after they dress you they'll notice the man standing next you beofre they see you. When I wear my purple velvet tux jacket I get nothing but smiles from girls, but I'm sure none would pick it out for their friends ... Now trusting a woman on the fit of clothes, thats something you can definately do They know better than you. Oh an am getting married but I'm still interested in looking freaken awesome
  11. Im really into these and have never scene functioning screws on the back. So doubt it ...
  12. Yes the nice patina was one of the things I liked about this one, a follow up question was going to be if there is a lume that doesnt affect colour too much, or recommendations on a vintage lume. Thanks Ubi.
  13. I'd have to grab gen hands too ... Guess ill live with it. The more I'm reading about it and understanding it the more I like it how it is anyway.
  14. Holy crap. Just reading about Tritium and thats some scary stuff. It glows without light because its midly radioactive. So may be hard to find someone to touch it up
  15. Sorry I edited my last reply that said is 'is L serial tritium?' as I did some quick research and wanted to delete the silly question before you replied. Guess you replied while i was editing
  16. Thanks for the insightful reply Ubi. To be honest I hadnt even done any reading about the lume used by rolex. I had assumed its all superluminova, but thats only since 2000. Tritium was 1984-2000 and has a life span of about 12 years. Interesting. I guess it makes sence to keep it original then. Anyone around that would re-lume with tritium?
  17. Hi folks. I've recently bought a used gen 16610. Its quite old, 19 years infact, and so has zero lume left. Rolex will only re-lume it with a full service. It has been recently serviced, but not by rolex, and is currently +/- 3 secs a day, so I dont feel like paying for a full Rolex service. Does anyone know any avenues for having a gen re-lumed appart from the modders on here? I dont want to send it to the US (I'm in the UK) but I guess I'd be happy to send it to Domi.
  18. I rock a Polar FT80 heartrate mon. Even helps improve my weights training. Not cheap but you can save a lot on ebay and totally worth it.
  19. Biggest one for me was rolex. Then I got a bk wm9 v2 sub, and I never took it off. 2 hours ago I bought the gen version ... Bit of an unexpected outcome of joining RWG.
  20. Man spot the controlling thread starter. Discussing the work of the mentioned modder vs the current forum standard isnt exactly off topic ... In fact one might say thats more useful than a photo ...
  21. Thats true. Notice your old 219 in my avatar Pete?
  22. Woops, realised i was repeating info. Deleted.
  23. Yeah I guess the avalibitiy is the biggest issue. With Domi you wont have to hope to be able to get a spot in the next run. From the conversation I've had with Domi though the costs for removing crystal, applying AR, and re-inserting crystal are much more expensive than the same 3 things with Cheif. I guess you get the AR stripping included with Domi and you dont with Cheif.
  24. Mine dislikes pretty much everything I get (she has an informed opinion - just different tastes), but loves the pam in my avatar.
