dadog13 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 I think that somebody already tried this combo....but it's definitely not my style...
Craytonic Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Posted April 26, 2007 Yeah don't think I would ever want to (or could) pull it off. Very nice glasses though.
dadog13 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Very nice glasses though. yes, for an 80yr old...
Craytonic Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Posted April 26, 2007 Nah they look like fred barnes' glasses and he isn't a day over 65

cornerstone Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 I think that somebody already tried this combo.... Yes, V pioneered the look for his fellow RWG members! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=4753 You didn't like it then either!
Watchmeister Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Actually, true horologists do the opposite. You have your dress shirts made with an extra large sleeve so you can wear any size watch and not look like that. I am no horologist (prefer to think of myself as a repologist) but I do highly recommend it. There is nothing funnier than sitting at a business meeting or in a bar and the person across the table from you is trying to get a glance at your watch.
V Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Yes, V pioneered the look for his fellow RWG members! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=4753 You didn't like it then either! Yeap. like every pioneer I got the laughs of the fellow people.. But when the time will come
eunomians Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Actually, true horologists do the opposite. You have your dress shirts made with an extra large sleeve so you can wear any size watch and not look like that. Damn right!
jfreeman420 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Glad I live in South Florida. Short sleeves for me every day!!! BTW, that looks totaly gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). I would imagine this guy would be an easy mark for someone to swipe that atch off of his errrr, wrist?
seanf Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 With the possible exception of hanging your watch on your left ear, that has to be the stupidest way to wear a watch I've ever seen.
Dutchy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Apart from others seeing what watch you're wearing, there is no reasonable reason to do this. You still have to lift up the end of your sleeve to see the watch while wearing the complete suit.....whatever.....those glasses look pimp
tmg Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Believe it or not this is a very old look or style if you want to call it that. I've seen pictures from WWII with soldiers wearing their timepieces outside their sweaters, I assume so they didn't have to lift the sleeve or cuff to see the time. Probably a good thing too if you're hands are holding a weapon. I also remember seeing Ralph Lauren ads from the late 80's showing this look too. You know, those glasses look like they're from the 80's This style doesn't do it for me either -but hey whatever makes your rep tick!

spooky driver Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 Ooooo just did a google search and Arnaud Bamberger from Cartier does, as stated in the blog, also wears his watch on the cuff!!
Craytonic Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Posted April 27, 2007 I don't think anyone is going to argue with you
