For all of you who like to wear your big Breitlings with a long sleeve dress shirt, you have probably encountered problems with the cuffs not being big enough for the watch. That makes for a very akward looking sleeve. On my birthday, my wife gave me some shirts from Joseph Banks, which, I am happy to report , enable one to wear a pretty big watch without the sleeve cuff problem. Great looking shirt too, although a little pricey.
Any olther shirt brands that work for you guys?

Joseph Abboud, Ike Behar, Nordstrom Custom, Hugo Boss all work with my SA. I wear a 17 1/2 by 36 shirt. Burberry, Brooks Brothers, Hart, Schaeffer & Marx do not fit wihtout some tailoring -- which was not difficult except on the french cuffs. Just wear the Chronomat with those!

I usually where the president

But I must admit, Many people are beginning to point out to me that this once mighty and
formidable watch is toooooooooooo small; I just hate when I hear commentary like that.... (that's why I got a SA)

I have concluded that I will start wearing my Chronomat and retire the Rolex

Or you could always buy the shirts that Watch International push that have a cut out for the watch - they seem to think that they are the cat's meow :roll:

I usually wear Brooks Brothers shirts and have no problem with the cuffs fitting over my 48mm SOH.

That's because the SOH is only 46mm

My thing is, why cover a ling with a sleeve? I know some of you might have to wear long sleeves to work, but damn, roll'em up...that's what I say...
