The Gilded Rage

With all these grads and proms coming up, nothing makes me happier working in menswear than the younglings taking my sound style recommendations. I’m trying to save you future regret and horrible pictures. Please listen to me. The sharkskin suit with the Chucks is only going to result in your date editing you out of pictures. (yes I actually had a kid tell me he was going to wear that)

This is something that 007 fans can only dream of. Lost for nearly fifty years, the original Breitling Top Time featured in Thunderball, with Q-Branch non-functioning geiger counter included, has surfaced. In a remarkable series of events, the current owner purchased the watch from a former employee of Pinewood studios for a mere $30. Subsequent meetings with EON productions and UK representatives from Breitling  have both overwhelmingly confirmed its authenticity. The watch is set to be auctioned off at Christie’s June 26th Pop Culture auction in London. Est. $90,000 approx.

Anyone want to go halfsies with me?
