Rotary used to do quite a passable imitation of a Cartier tank in their "Elite" range. A mechanical watch as well, if that's important to you. I'm wearing one at the moment. No fancy winding knob though!
Final reduction - £50/$99 plus shipping
I need to shift these, so I am offering a final, 2 day pre-eBay reduction, priced down to £50/USD 99, plus shipping at the following rates:
UK: £5
Europe: £8/$16
Rest of the world: £15/$30 airmail, £8/$16 surface.
Yes, black and brown can be combined with care:
In this case, assuming that there is no black in the weave of the suit, I would look for a suitably-toned accessory to bring the two together.
Sorry that this has taken so long; hinge to hinge measurement is 4 7/8", and length of arms to where curve begins is just a shade under 4 1/4".
I hope that this helps, please let me know if you would like any other measurements taken.

I really have no idea what, if anything, these rather fancy frames are worth. Collectable, perhaps - certainly striking! Or, if for use, the arms would benefit from gently reshaping and the joints from easing and polishing, but should be eminently wearable thereafter. Offers from £10, anyone?

I've decided to thin down my collection of Esky plates, and so am making this fine example available, shewing full evening dress and ladies' riding dress at the National Horse Show, Madison Square Garden. It has been carefully removed from a damaged Esky (I have issues of conscience regarding...
I would probably favour mid-brown or tan shoes, probably nothing quite as formal as a captoe - an Oxford/semi-brogue, perhaps.
If I were by the sea, probably white buckskin Oxfords, as others have suggested.
Most things on the left side of this picture:

This site (http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html ) seems to suggest that a UK 8 1/2 equates to a US 9, and I've seen Cookie make the same comment on the Spectators thread in the General forum, but I've no personal experience of the conversion. (Inter alia, I'm happy to provide the inside...
Slightly less formal than I might favour for a Sunday, but the weather here was fine, and there was an off-chance after Mass that I might join my wife and daughter on their sponsored walk, so I thought light was the order of the day. I like to think that, although almost all modern, it has a...
