Although this watch comes in a titanium version as well, we like the hefty weight (and price difference) of the stainless steel version. Both versions come with a scratch resistant mineral glass (would prefer sapphire but what do you expect for the price), and a very useful slide rule that is easier to use than a calculator.

With the slide rule you can calculate your car’s fuel consumption, average speed/velocity and the time you will arrive at your destination, you can also multiply and divide numbers, calculate ratio’s into percentages, integers and decimals, covert liters to gallons, pounds to kilograms as well as other metric conversions, all with a simple twist of the bezel. The slide rule also performs a few more complicated calculations that involve airplanes and nautical vessels that are beyond our understanding.

But the real gem of this watch is the Eco-Drive function. Citizen has determined how to harness the power of sunlight to power this watch. It can even use the artificial light from indoor bulbs to keep the battery charged. It can go over 6 months without light and still maintain a charge and never needs to replace the battery. This can help keep the seal on the casing and keep this puppy waterproof and ocean-safe for years to come.

For the price and value of the watch, there’s no reason not to get it.

Now I know you’re going to grimace when you see the price, but when you consider the fact that no other item in your wardrobe will get brought with you to the office more than your briefcase, you deserve a quality item. Remember rule number 7.

This slim attache from Ferragamo will do the trick. Solid, subtle, sexy, just the way your cologne should be. But when people get close, everyone notices.

Dress for the job you want. Not the job you have. Your coworkers won’t really appreciate your subtle upgrade in style, but that CEO on the top floor (probably the only other guy who recognizes the finger things in life) will.
