Need Bigger Sleeves

So I've got the ExpII back on the carbon strap with red stitching. I'm wearing a new shirt today, not to drop names but it's a high-end Italian designer. SO when I pull my arms through, I notice that my watch got caught in the sleeve.

My wrist and watch will fit in the sleeve, but it's so tight that I have to pull the sleeve up to make the watch come out. In fact, I've rolled up my sleeves to avoid it getting caught. You'd think that a shirt made in the land of Panerai that they'd give you more room in the cuff.

Yes, if this is my biggest problem, then life's pretty good.

With long sleeves, slap on the original bracelet!

...'cause I've seen BOTH on your wrist and the bracelet looks so much better (but, hey, I'm biased, so don't listen to me!)

Some Italian men wear their watch outside the cuff

I have noticed the same thing with my "italian" shirts too
Luckily in our office we are "casual" so I have opted for short sleeve shirts most of the time. On the occassion I need to wear sleeves, I am unfortunatly wearing the Cartier
Plus, who wants to cover up these watches

Okay, so we are alike in many ways, so this is a test.......does the name begin with C and end with i?

[Launch Mini]

Mine start with an A and end in I. Same goes for the B--S shirts.
However, there are nice silk shirts from Nat Nast that have larger cuffs that work with Pannies

Nope, his first name starts with a G and last name with an F.

I wear French cuffs pretty regularly, but I haven't yet worn the carbon strap with them. Not sure it looks right. LOL... I always swap the strap to leather before I wear French cuffs.

But summer is coming so rolling up the sleeves will be the order of business. And yes, rolling them up is a good ruse to make others think you're actually working... loosening the tie and unbuttoning a button completes the look. If you can work a POed scowl at all times (think of what a mod from elsewhere looks like all the time) and you're a sure bet to make Senior VP in record time. LOLOLOL

Muttering under your breath to noone in particular works well too.

Now that I agree with you Dennis a nice English tailored shirt shaken but not stirred as our James Bond would say.Second try the JJ approach and get some woolly arms natural built in shirt for all occasions.

Okay, French cuffs today and the fit is the same as on my superior Italian shirt. It fits under, but not well.. I guess I'll just push my sleeve back.
