What are your GO TO items that you feel naked without?
(Other than Underwear, of course)
I always wear this 23.9 KT Gold Thailand Baht Chain that my father gave me.
Always.
I'm into BluBlocker sunglasses these days, as well, so when it's sunny out, I'm all about em!
Wristwear: Rolex DateJust
Have some sweet Bvlgari cufflinks that I FOUND in my latest apartment. I about fell over.
What are some of your go to items?
-
I have a black Citizen Eco-drive that I feel lost without, need the time! My university ring stays on almost all the time, but there are 2 things I NEVER take off, first is a pounamu that my best friend gave me, and second is a small black wristband that my partner used to wear when we met, it's basically a piece of string, I've worn it for over five years. My last accessory is a pair of air NZ cuff links that belonged to her grandfather, I was given them after we'd been together for a few years... It meant a lot
-
Rolex Submariner, Ray-Ban Aviators and St. Christopher medal.
-
Rolex Submariner,
Rolex ? Now, there's a man of taste.
Worn the same Rolex Air King for over 20 years.
-
None I can do without, though I usually wear a hawaiian shirt while I'm kicking someone's a$$ on the golf course.
-
My leather cuff bracelets. I almost always have one on, regardless of the attire. Yes, my right wrist has a tan line from wearing one day in, day out.
-
I'm not really a bling kind of guy. The one piece of bling that I MUST have is my wedding band.
I love my motorcycle boots too but they aren't appropriate in all situations...... obviously.
-
Swiss Army watch; no jewelry
-
Leatherman.
-
Maybe you could start making them appropriate Mike, just start wearing them all the time!
-
Swiss Army watch; no jewelry
Marty, what about that solid gold yarmulke you were sporting on Madison Ave the other day?
-
Swiss Army knife and a lighter (though I don't smoke).
-
Titanium index finger ring (doubles as bottle opener!), Ken Onion Kershaw quick-open pocket knife.
-
Nothing I can think of.

+1. I'm very simple and there's nothing that I require to feel "complete."

I never leave the house without my cellphone. That's about it for me.

Woah, that sure is a bit of bling. I love that everyone can be so different and yet we can all have commonalities. Variety sure is the spice of life! How have you found the magnetic bracelet? I was thinking it might help with my soreness from constant guitar playing.

It sure has helped my arthritis, some say it does, and others say it doesn't. It very well could. ;)

My cellphone and watch. I do not leave the house without these two. My budget does not allow me to own a Rolex but I absolutely love my Fossil watches.

SLY has class. A buddy of mine got a Rolex Yacht Master in where he buys items, totally sweet. So did some trading traded my other Rolex, and gold braclet for it ! But got a great deal . If a deal comes by , and there are ways to work it out. Take it before it gets away. Now all I need is a Yacht , yeah right ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D This here Yacht Master has a Platinum Bessel and a silver dial so it gives my Wisdom Ring a Gray Star saphire LOL a boost,
Then I also will be wearing a Para Cord Braclet made by D O U G ! Now that there is class !.

It isn't so much an accessory but I always have a pocket knife wherever I go. I never was one to wear anything fancy like that. Otherwise, my car and truck are full of useful things, just in case. Like I always have food, water, a blanket, and a change of clothes with some other things, just in case I need them for some reason
-
Mike, That is a good idea. I carry some items in the trunk, if I had car trouble and was out on the road. Always have my leatherman in the glove box one of them. I also carry a quick open knife that I could cut a seatbelt with if I or someone else was trapped.

This is something everyone should consider, it could be a life saver.

Good point my friend. I can remember my granddad, father, always carried a pocket knife. Now that we have quick open knives it is so much better. I read a article the other day that stated they were illegal in Alaska ? Not sure why , as they can carry all kinds of hunting knives.

Bill,
Love those Kershaw knives, I carry a mdl. 1840CKT Speedsafe , in my pocket, in my car, I have a Robo speed with sirated and plain blade. Had it for years. O:O

My friend saved a guy's life a few weeks ago at the local municipal airport with a pocket knife. He always carries one with him and this time it really proved to be a life saver! An older man took off in his experimental plane, something went wrong, and he crashed into some trees from about 300 feet. My friend hauled ass in his truck over there and saw the man slumped over in his seat unconscious (it was later determined he suffered from collapsed lungs, every rib broken, and all sorts of other broken bones) with mangled cockpit trapping him. There was gas spilling everywhere inside the plane and his seatbelt was stuck. My friend took out his knife and cut him free! He said if no one had been at the airport and gone to help him the man would have probably been dead in 15 minutes or less.

Thank you Bill, for sharing this story ! Those nylon seatbelts are something else, also airbags in a car ! Great True Story ! O0

That is true, I've never thought of something like that... I've just got my toolbox in my tray, and a few tools behind the back seat, nothing easily accessible though, if say I was trapped in my seat belt. Over the past few weeks I've been thinking of certain items I need to start thinking about, seeing it's getting warmer and I'm planning on being more active outdoors (that involves driving around).
One important thing I need to add is a first aid kit. My old man always has one in his 4x4 and we've used it countless times. But another I'm going to have to add the knife to my list. We have a lot of restrictions over here on what we can and cannot carry though... I know for certain the machete under the carpet in the back of dad's fourbie is HIGHLY illegal... I wonder if he has taken that out yet, I'd hate him to get searched and for the police to find that... another must have in the car is a working torch! My personal favourite is a good LED headlamp, so you can go hands free.
AS for man accessories, I don't go anywhere without my sunglasses these days, not that they are fashionable in the slightest, but my eyes are very reactive to the light, and I can get some pretty serve migraines from bright lights, especially the glare of windscreens bonnets (hoods)

Never go anywhere without wearing my tats. Swiss Army Knife for the last 50 or more years. I don't wear it but my 1200 RT Beemer. There's a Baume et Mercier time keeper in the safety deposit box but my everyday preference is a Casio-$8.99 cents, free shipping at Amazon.com. I usually wear a Smith and Wesson .50 under my left arm-I shoot right, other times it's a paper weight. My 1965 class ring from USC-which is ironic as that's the year the school was closed down by the Watts Riots-which has something to do with the Smith and Wesson...A hoodie that a bro was wearing when he was shot-I've never got the blood stains out but I do wear it. Bally of Switzerland for everyday and dress, my custom Wesco 20" engineers for the Beemer....A signed portrait of the 1978 Argentine World Champion Futbol team....little things but, as the song says, they do mean a lot.....

Earrings....makes the sly look complete

I don't really have many accessories, but I always wear a watch. I alternate among three: a Swiss army watch, a titanium Seiko that was an anniversary gift from my wife, and a Seiko that has an unusual design from about 20 years ago: in addition to the minute, hour and second hands, it has a small gold "t-shaped" hand on the face which points to the day of the week. Seiko is a mass-produced brand, but I've never come across another one with this design.

I love reading the different items , that alot of us carry , wear, enjoy , have fun with. etc.. I am very glad someone hasn't said my pocket catheter so I can take a wizz. :*))

Cufflinks are always a cool accessory

Same here, 12 ga captive ball in each side. Keepin' it simple.
Also, a Casio Wave Captor atomic digital, but only when I'm concerned with time. Resets itself to the correct time every 3-4 hours by syncing with some absolutely correct clock somewhere. Of course even a broken watch is right every 12 hours so I figure why spend a lot of bucks.
And now my Paracord Survival Bracelet by Doug in "The Thin Blue Line" scheme.

I have both my ears pierced but I don't suit them anymore.
