Creed Aventus.

I tried Havana a little while back, I also love my tobacco scents. Yes it certainly does smell like tobacco but it has a very 'old-school' feel to it. Not that I have anything against that, in fact I love my old-school scents, but this one (on me at least), left me wanting to scrub it off.

Check this one also out, Costamor Tabacca.

Always

I remember doing this myself ages ago by layering the date wheel upon another. I bought a spare one from a dealer (I forgot the name now). This fixes it pretty well. Alternatively you can send it to a modder who may have other methods. But totally fixable.

Besides, the pics may not show it properly, but in real life the dw may be close enough. It's just my nit picking

Tried the new A*Men Pure Leather today. I love it!!! Dark coffee and caramel with accents of soft leather. Beauty!

Looks great, one of the best IWC reps for sure. I thought the datewheel was closer to the window ... but still looks fine

Original A*Men and PH sounds awesome. I want to try the new 'Pure Leather', as I never liked the tar opening of the original. Let's see when it comes out here.

I'm going with with my remaining mls of Hanae Mori HiM. Such a gem.

Thanks for the photos James ! they are really good actualy!

@Lobster: but the sweeping quartz movements have only the chrono hand sweep, the small-secs hand still ticks , or maybe i'm talking rubbish? :-)

It can get even cooler if they would produce a quartz movement with the chrono and small-secs hands both sweeping.

There used to be an Omega "speedsonic" chrono with a tuning-fork movement which had all hands sweep, how sweet.

You're right Bud.

And that Omega movement is exactly what's needed.

Yeah, Chergui isn't easy to explain but it's stunning nevertheless.

PhilFree, which Kilian smells like Accord Oud??? I'd love to try that.

Chergui is very fine and elegant. I like it a lot.

Musc Ravageur is a very hyped fragrance. Some love it, some don't. I believe it's an interesting scent but yes, the dry down is the better part.

It's a little cold today and a good cherry pipe tobacco scent will do perfectly (with a nice dry herbal dry down) ... Bogart Pour Homme. (so cheap too)

If the rep makers could build this 3714 fully based on the 7750 model but insert a quartz movement, I'd be happy. When wearing the watch, people don't even notice whether the seconds sweep or not.

Having said that, you already know about the sweeping quartz movement that Bulova use.... if the Chinese could build such a movement for this watch, I'll be buying every dial and case option that the 3714 comes in.

I know what you mean, niche just performs so much better. Still love the odd designer gem though

Have you tried Byredo Accord Oud? Take TFs Tuscan Leather and add a boozy saffron mixed with dark forest berries.

Phil is going for some good heavier hitters

Hermes Eau de Gentiane Blanche. beautiful.

VERY sexay

Oh yes,

Accuracy wise, yes the movement will be sorted, but as for looks ... very far from the genuine. Wouldn't waste my money per se, but if you're desperate for it, why not?

,

Probably going for this combo later on though

Two sisters !

I love those two JLC's.

Here is a rep

Very sad to hear and I understand why you have to do this. I wish your family all the best and they will be in my prayers.

1923!! That's insanse. I know Le Dandy, it's gold for the colder season for sure.

I am in love with Hanae Mori Him for some reason.

Stunning, I am tempted.

Oh IWC have often poorly done their QC work on their gen products. I used to work for an AD ages ago and jeez they are often extremely shi^. But the watches look so damn good!!

My personal shopper at Saks has been trying to talk me into buying Spicebomb. I have even given the tester a try yet. How do you like Spicebomb? I have Antidote by Viktor & Rolf and I am happy with that one.

Spicebomb is ok, it is certainly a derivative of several fragrance. The major problem is that by the time you start enjoying this, it's a strict skin scent (or gone). Worth a try though.

That is Indeed a awesome fragrance.

smells like a mixture of Pure Malt and Spicebomb to me.

Hanae Mori Him, what an awesome fragrance.

Cheers Mike
