    My collecting instinct veers over the place, but I *especially* love vintage 'gentlemanly' accessories.
    It would be really interesting to see what other vintage/dress items you all sport alongside your Seamasters and Constellations...(and I'm hoping for some pretty debonair responses here...!)

    I was at a vintage fair this morning, and ended up bargaining for a late Victorian/Edwardian opal tie-pin, alongside a plain silver pill box hallmarked for London 1930...both for a steal. Both will be used ad-hoc depending on situation and opportunity!

    Do love shiny things.

    :D

    I've got a few Italian made silk ties from the late 80's and early 90's - does that count? :p

    Silk always counts... :D

    I was expecting a deluge of matched cufflinks and Hermes pocket squares though!

    Can't say I go for anything vintage on the dress items front, but if you just like looking at cufflinks and ties I can post a few :coffee:

    Crown & stem complete on mine:

    Are you kidding? That would take HUGE amounts of $$$ away from the watch budget. Hell, the cufflinks were a throw in as part of a multi-watch transaction.

    One of my favorites. The "buttons" were Dad's and the "pinky" started as a tie-tac. I added the Chopard to complete the set. Enjoy, Miki

    When I try to edit your post, no evidence of the two pictures after your text shows up. ::confused2:: This is what I see:

    If there were two extra attachments I'd delet them. Strange!

    Thanks dude. :thumbsup: Don't know why I couldn't see the 2nd and 3rd attachments unless you were in the process of editing it while I was looking at it.

    Nope, that might be it too. Was looking for a quick fix.
