Belts & Rolex

Hi Guys, who else could I show this photo to without being called a "prick"?

I just don't have many friends or colleagues who have one Rolex, much less three (one is my son's) & nine Designer Belts. So I could only share here.

If you don't have a nice Louis Vuitton Belt, GET ONE! I'm just hooked.

Now, don't be judging, if you are on this Forum, you have hidden fetishes just like moi!

If you like those belts, then I think it's fine. We all have our preferences.

Personally, I have an aversion to wearing someone else's initials on my person.

I wonder if there's a GP fashion line out there?

CD, Are those BIG buckles the belt buckles or the box they come in?

Admittedly, I have a penchant for belts, but I prefer the buckle to be more subdued.

I'm just agreeing that there are a lot o' fetishes on this site - dress shoes, basketball shoes, socks, cufflinks... the list goes on and on. I think it's fun to see what collections/interests people have.

My weakness has been with dress ties.

I like your watches and it seems like everyone on here is a collector of something so if you like LV belts by all means go for it and have fun.....life is too short as it is!!!

Sweet belts! I've been floating the idea of getting a designer belt (pretty crazy splurge for a college student), but have never been able to pull the trigger. I can get a pretty nice belt for around $30, and then, when the leather wears out around where the buckle contacts it, I can just throw it out and move on...not so for a high-end belt. There'd be quite a bit more sadness involved.

Each to their own and thanks for sharing

I've got a few such as Gucci, Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren but I prefer them to fly a little more under the radar than yours.

But I like full on belts on women

I'm not a big fan of big belt buckles (still I find yours quite beautiful, especially the one on the top left corner) but I do like belts in general. Here's a picture (not mine) of my Pierre Cardin's belt I received for Christmas, it fits my Stainless Steel watches very well.

I need to step up my game. I really like my Ferragamo wallets and have nice belts, but nothing in that league.

No LV in my collection yet, but I've started looking at a LV belt for myself. Just SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!

If you think LV belts are expensive, Hermes will make your nose bleed.

Cool photos!

This one is starting to look pretty shabby, but it is still my favorite.

I got this from a hardware store 5-6 years ago. It has been to the Amazon, India and a few other places on me crawling under heavy machinery mounting and fixing measurement equipment. It also went through a fire plus train crash on one occasion. I like it.
