Introducing: The Vacheron Constantin Metiers d��Art Elegance Sartoriale, A Collection Dedicated To Ma
The watch maketh the man, not his clothes. At least, that’s our line of thinking at HODINKEE. But sartorial choices have come under scrutiny this week. After entertaining the idea that watches could in fact be worn with a tuxedo (shocker, right?), we take a look at a new collection of tailor-inspired and tailor-made watches from Vacheron Constantin. 1 OF 12 Capitalizing on the resurgence of style, as defined by men who shop exclusively on Saville Row and have Pitti Uomo saved in their calendar for the next ten years, Vacheron Constantin have teamed up with the world’s oldest fabric manufacturer, Vitale Barberis Canonico, for a sartorial debut of sorts. 2 OF 12 3 OF 12 Unveiled this morning in Paris, on the opening day of the Journées Européenes des Métiers d’Arts (JEMA), the "Elegance Sartorial” collection faithfully re-creates famous woven patterns such as the Prince of Wales check, using the maison&r

Two Gorgeous 5170Rs. What's your pick?
My new watch itch is slowly but surely coming back. This pair is about the only watches that really caught my attention in Patek's 2016 baselworld release. Curious to know what's your pick?Cream / white dial or Black dial? Have yet to seen it irl of course but live videos and pics on various watch blogs and IG is looking promising.

My first PP 5960R
I had zero thoughts in my head to own a PP. it was something that I thought was not the right time but the wife and I went into the AD to look for one for her, and we found one for me. She pushed me to get it and I am glad she did. What piece! I am so thrilled. I attached a pic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

BB Bracelet Removal - I'm gonna lose it!
OK Rolex/Tudor veterans, please help me before I lose my freaking mind! Trying to replace the steel black bay bracelet with the factory fabric strap. What in the world am I doing wrong? I have watched videos and I swear for the life of me I can't get the damn thing off. I have a spring bar removal, I also tried a push pin. I just can't get the one side to hold in the compressed position while I try to remove the opposite side. There has to be a trick to this I can't figure out. HELP!!!!

Just bought my first and second Rolex!
Hey gents...I bought my first a couple of months back and got the TT submariner in blue out the door 12K no tax at an authorized dealer in Beverly Hills. I think that was a pretty good deal. I loved that sub and was wearing it daily and realized I needed a stainless steel for my everyday wearer as the gold gets some nice scratches.I love the SS Yachtmaster 2. Such a great everyday piece. The price tag made me gasp though. It's a little crazy, but then again that is why not everyone has a YM2. So I just picked up the SS YM2 at the same authorized dealer in BH and got it for 15.6K out the door no tax which I thought was another great price.Either way I love them and love this forum. Do you guys think I got pretty good pricing? Came to about 20% off after the didn't do the tax by shipping it to a friend....
