Pairs Well With: Damasko DA36 Black
Earlier this week we reviewed the Damasko DA36 black, a wonderful modern take on the classic German flieger. As we noted in our review, the DA36 black is not just a watch. It is a fantastic piece of engineering with a whole lot of practical tech built into it. From the ice-hardened proprietary steel to the patented crown design, each added component is intended to benefit the user, and not for the brand to tout in some marketing campaign that's all glitz and no substance.Today's "Pairs Well With" pulls inspiration from Damasko's design and engineering philosophy, with a special focus on utilitarian clothing that can still be worn to the office. Whether it's the way the garment was assembled or the materials used, each piece chosen goes the extra mile in terms of performance, comfort, and function. That they look good is just icing on the cake.Alpha Industries L-2B Skyray JacketAlpha Industries began its life as a contractor to the United States armed forces, manufacturing heard-wearing

AP is disappointing in this respect...
Hey everyone,I really want or I should say wanted to get an AP sports watch, but doing research they really do not make many or any durable and scratch resistant watches anymore especially in 42 or smaller (not including discontinued models).They discontinued the ceramic divers, discontinued forged carbon and currently all you can get is steel or rose gold in the 42 or less size (according to guy at the AP boutique).I just don't get why AP doesn't make a watch that is Richard Mille-like in durability, scratch resistance and shock absorption, considering how closely they work with RM.Just venting a little, but considering the popularity of RM, you would think AP would make some middle tier priced durable, light weight and scratch resistant high end sports watches in 42mm (or even 44 for that matter).I am saving for a RM 055, because their ceramic is 1400 vickers (more scratch resistant than rolex which is 1200), it's light weight, comfortable (some say most comfortable watch they have

Quick royal oak bracelet question....
So I pulled the trigger on a 15300 this week and the previous owner has a much smaller wrist than I and while it comes with all the links they are not on watch.

Incoming: Panerai 422
I picked up a Panerai 422 yesterday from my AD. I have previously been a owner and was an early admirer for the brand. Panerai has lost me on a lot of levels with the marketing and what I believe to be a, sells mentality, that steps over collectors. But I do like a lot of the watches and the 422 is one of my favorites that can be obtained for a reasonable amount. I have owned this watch before and I regretted letting it go. I have more than a dozen straps that I have keep from my previous ownership experiences. Knowing I would be back so I am not starting from scratch.
