the power of fashion

I have been a bit unsure about the combatibilty of my TT daytona...it seems to look out of place with most of my clothes except for a nice italian hand made shirt I own...ofcourse I dont wear it every day..
Untill now i have been unable to find the correct match in my wardrobe.
Yesterday I was in the city and walked by a brandname clothes store (no need to say which one) while combing through the collection, found a cashmere sweater with the exact same color as my cream dialed panda TT.
I dont have to worry anymore, it was the best 200 euro I have ever spent on a sweater...goes perfect..pictures will follow...

anyone else match clothes with there precious watch?

I also think Rolex will always look good with or without apparel.

Eric, you just had to go and do it. That's a heck of a thought to walk around with today. I think I need to visit the nearest Pub and get drunk now.

I wonder if my wife would go for that excuse. I'll have to give that a try. Honey, I need more watches so I can match my wardrobe.

I wish I had enough watches to match my clothes. But back on topic, a watch is (god forbid) an accessory partly and therefore it makes sense to try to match it.

But then again, I'm European.
