Ron, I really like your IWC, it’s beautiful. At some point in my life I’d like to have something nice like that. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > Just ordered a bunch of socks from happysocks damn you bing you’ll really like them for a bit but if you don’t take proper care they will wear out, fade and shrink. The quality is not on par with premium socks but they’re still a lot of fun and good value. i lost 2 pairs of carbon fibre ray ban sunglasses in the last 3 months… so i bought 4 more pairs off ebay 🙂 just got them yesterday… WEEEEEE ---

yeah, i just received my first pair back from recrafting, AE Jacksons in Chili brown… it’s like day 1 again. They even sent the proper coloured creme with it, AE shoe trees and AE shoe bags… SOOO SIQ!!! going to send my AE New Orleans away in the next couple weeks. here are the jacksons fresh ![http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/546709_10152081196470179_1319322053_n.jpg](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/546709_10152081196470179_1319322053_n.jpg) AE called me on a saturday to check if i wanted a rubber or leather sole… the lady on the phone and i chuckled…lol… who goes with rubber??? and the ray bans: ![http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Fashion/ray%20bans.jpg](http://www.bings.ca/images/misc/Fashion/ray%20bans.jpg) i bought one set without lenses… i’ll make a custom set 🙂 ---

Those shoes look great. I’ve heard many good things about the AE recrafting. I also don’t understand who buys $300+ shoes with rubber soles. Sales reps have told me that they are good for the winter, but I don’t know why someone would wear their good shoes in the winter without rubbers over them anyhow. ---

yeah a good set of swims and regular care and the shoes will be fine through the winter with a leather sole. I’ve had the kind of salt and water damage where you fear the worst but you can get it back 95% ---

I was cashing out at rite aid the other day and the drug store cashier said to me “Hey man that’s a nice watch who are you wearing?” I gave him a blank stare for a second before I understood what he was asking me, then had to look at my watch to find out who the manufacturer was. “Oh, uh. Thanks. Seiko.” “Oh.” It was awkward. 404 cool not found. On either side of the counter. Anyone on here? 😃 ---

> [@turbo\_dreams](#): > > Ron, I really like your IWC, it’s beautiful. At some point in my life I’d like to have something nice like that. I really like the way it looks, but I only wear it like once a month. It needs to be somewhere with a lot of ambient noise, the movement is comparable to diesel engine since it is a pocket watch conversion. I watched them on ebay for 3 months before finding the one I wanted at the price I was looking to spend. It was much more affordable than I am sure you are thinking. ---

The odds of anyone in this thread ordering one of these is slim but, if you do, don’t order the next size up like they tell you to. I did and mine is too large even on the smallest fit. > **[Paracord Bracelets | Survival Gear | Survival Straps](https://www.survivalstraps.com/)** > > Survival Straps Paracord Bracelets are not only fashionable, they're made of super strong military spec paracord.
