Haha, thanks guys. My boss often shakes his head at me. He says I'm the most poorly dressed person in the office, that I grumble about paying more than $5-$6 for lunch yet I buy cars and other expensive things on impulse without a second thought lol.

Funny enough sir, I am the same way sans the poorly dressed part I am always looking for deals! Just ask DSW, Tony G, or Oscar! I try and negotiate everything!

Thank you sir! The THC is a well constructed and fun reference to own and wear. After seeing numerous pictures from Dan Pierce and members here I knew I had to own one. One of the great members here (Alcan) helped me source mine from a Canadian AD brand new at a significant discount. I highly recommend it!

I'm speechless, however, when it comes to iconic and rare handbags that's her hobby... As you may be aware some of the rarer ones command vintage Rolex prices... Her choice today...

I fund all my purchases thru eBay and consignment sellings- keeps a marriage healthy. I don't dip into our paychecks/accounts.

Give it time Matt, I didn't get into Hermes til my mid 30s ;) haha

In my experience Matt, your girlfriend won't be spending any money on them..... So you can guess who will
