I am looking to buy 2 or 3 pairs of leather shoes for different occasions (dress shoes for suits, loafers, patent leather to go out, and so on).

Do people have high quality recommendations? I know of Neon but I don't love CL models. Open to less recognizable brands.

I've gone through many albums (happywhale, swagsupply, neon, etc. etc.) but finding it difficult to gauge accuracy and leather quality based on album photos alone.

Help appreciated! 😀

Bag is listed as imported Togo leather with upgraded silver hardware. Fully handstitched.

Originally purchased from Mr Tan for $1350.

Not super familiar with HAC or Mr Tan, would like feedback on shape and stitching/hardware details and overall if this passes as a high tier bag.

Thank you so much!

Pics are the example of a B40 in Togo that seller Mark sent me. Price is 1550 USD.

I have not yet ordered this bag, I hope this kind of post is allowed. I’d like some feedback on what to watch out for before ordering.

The one thing I noticed myself is that the stamp might be pressed a tad too deep.

Thanks in advance for comments!

Ordering these in size 45 after receiving another pair in 44 and finding them a little bit snug.

Any feedback before I GL?

These look good to me other than the size stamping in the inner tongue (it should say 43, barely legible but I’m not too bothered by that detail).

Pic of the Hermes stamp is poor quality, I asked to see it more clearly.

Would appreciate any feedback on any details I might have missed, it’s my first time ordering this model. Thank you!

Got a new pair because the last one was the wrong size.

Would love some help with QC, does this new pair look good? It’s AP via happywhale.

They look fine to me but I’m no expert so appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I’d love some help QCing this pair of black Triple Stitch sneakers (AP batch via happywhale).

They look good to me based on comparisons I have researched but I’m no expert so appreciate any thoughts

I have some doubts about sizing. I ordered insole size 285mm (foot is 270-275mm). I thought that would be size US 10 but the label shows US 11. The insole measurement in picture is correct though.

Thanks!

First time ordering sneakers, QC help welcome.

I am using direct shipping for this order for timing reasons. The photos are less detailed than I would like, I might ask for more.

Any red flags on these? The left foot seems a bit longer and wider than the right in the first and last pictures.

QC in a few hours because they are in stock.

Seller: MVT Shop (direct shipping, I know it is more expensive)

I was told AOF is the only factory that makes the steel bracelet version of this watch now but I was not able to find any photos.

I found a few old mentions of AOF from 2 years ago but that was it, spreadsheets at the time ranked them third best at most and not NWBIG.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

[ALL SOLD]

Got too many reps recently, selling the ones I don't see myself wearing enough. Timestamp in last pic.

[SOLD] VSF Batman (Video). Only worn a couple of times. Light work done: rotor silenced, dial to crown rehaut realigned, dial dust cleaned up. Check QC pics for details, amazing specs.

[SOLD] VSF Submariner Date 41mm (Video).

[SOLD] VSF Explorer 40mm (Video). Never worn outside but see small hairline marks on top SEL.

[SOLD] APSF IWC Pilot Top Gun 41mm (Video). Brand new/unworn. Looks amazing in person but a bit too big on my wrist.

[SOLD] ZF Pelagos 42mm (Video).

$10 for shipping in CONUS. Payment preferred via Paypal F&F or crypto.

Potentially interested in trades if you have V7F Ingenieur or Mark XX, VSF Daytona in black, and other similarly highly rated reps (PM me with pics)

Got the rep for a friend, wanted to share a quick side by side with gen before gifting it

Gen Tank large model vs F1F

The rep looks really good, hard to tell which is which on the wrist
