Another day another delivery, two packages came today... Some TF58 shades (Tom Ford) and two leather bracelets. The bracelets were a let down to be honest so I'll just glaze right over that one , here's a picture anyway note they're are both the same I've just spun them around so the clasp can be seen.

I was looking at those bracelets and actually almost bought one last week. Are they real leather? The clasp definetly doesn't look like the ones in the pictures!! Thanks for posting.

I was initially looking for stingray but didn't want to stump that cash and came across these, the clasp is like painted plastic and you can't really tell from the picture being head on but the clasp had like a peak effect where the clasp is (it's not flush around the wrist) . I don't think it's real leather, doesn't smell like it. The black one is the better of the two as its a little more Matt than the brown which has a glossy sheen to it!

Another day, another delivery!

More MB swag came in, the wallet is just a black version of the brown one I got a few days ago ( see previous posts) . It probably looks better on the whole than the brown and has more of a leather smell as opposed to the more chemical smell of the brown one.

Belt , I'm a little disappointed with that the clasp has the N letters flipped, other than that it's pretty decent quality I suppose and I like that you can shorten it yourself at the clasp end by cutting it to size and then clamping in the buckle. It's also black on the other size so you can pick a colour. Since it's a gold buckle it's gotta be the brown side for me! The brown side is smooth finish whilst the black has a slight Matt rough texture .

And then I got x 3 rollerball pens, now these I do like!! They have a nice weight and are solid built , each pen came in a velvet ink blue pouch. X4 spare ink cartridges also came separately packed in the box. The best IMO is the chrome one, looks the highest quality , followed by the ribbed one with chrome cap ( although the blue part is a little roughly finished in the grooves) ,the least favourite is the one with the gold pattern, same quality feel as the other two but they look a little more refined to me.

I have one more belt to come from my bulk order, it's a black Mont BLanc with silver buckle. Hopefully the text is correct on this one ;-)

[MENTION=92597]C124[/MENTION] what kind of material is the chrome and blue ribbed pen, I was thinking about getting that pen, is it a resin material?

Some form of resin / plastic , probably explains the slightly rough finish on this part. The weight is in the chrome parts (nib and cap) . I can highly recommend these pens, it's a no brainer for what they cost.

I've purchased several hockey jerseys and they were all great quality for around $28usd each. Very satisfied.

Just received these Veithdia polarized sunglasses that I paid $10.50 for.

Really nice quality for the price with soft case and polishing cloth included.

Very happy with these.

It's here and I'm really impressed. I owned the gen of this one, and it's just like it. I love it. Only bad thing for me is that the MB star is misaligned. But, for $8, I can't complain. Two different ones arrive on Tuesday.

Have you experienced Veithdia before? How are they? Maybe order some fake Aviators or Wayfarers lol?

Well , i dont know....but for 10$... Hehe.

I've actually found some Aviators for $10 and they seem to be pretty cool. And I believe quality Wayfarers are about $20 with metal bone inside the earpieces. Haven't heard about Veithdia though, gonna make a little research.
