Wrap two Cape Cod cloths around your feet. Light weight and your tootsies will have a nice vanilla scent all day. =Mark=

I mean, I normally only buy one colour (grey) as they go with just about everything. Now all of them are wearing out at the same time and I don't know what to do

Should I buy from a grey dealer?

Or...... Should I look for a trusted seller here on TRF?

Make sure you buy "new"...this is one item where "gently pre-loved" might not be such a good idea...

Oh My God Nicko!!
I read your post in the Open discussion forum yesterday
(http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=159387)

and now i find this of yours today!! .

May be my own schedule helps you in your dilemma:

When wearing my Explorer 1 and 5513 or 1680, I use black socks.

When wearing my Sub C- green, I use green socks.

When wearing my GMT "rootbeer" I use brown socks.

When wearing my Pepsi GMT, I use one red sock and one blue sock.

My wife says she hates my wearing my Pepsi GMT. Canīt understand why.

Hope this helps you!

Kind regards, Abel.
