Summer Style Guide: Watches and Wallets and Warranties (Oh My!)
eBay is offering clients who purchase a watch between the $1,000.00 and $2,000.00 price range the option – at checkout (for a cost of $80 plus tax) – to have the watch independently and expertly inspected and verified by eBay’s third-party authentication partners. Should the buyer opt into this service, the watch they’re looking to purchase will be sent to eBay’s authentication partner where it will go through their Authenticity Guarantee process. It is here that industry experts will conduct a thorough, multi-level inspection, thus verifying the watch is authentic and as described, as are any accessories and packaging that should accompanying it. Once that happens – BOOM – the expert verification kicks in for the purchaser, which will make them look doubly good when they gift the watch to the person for whom they bought it.
But wait! There’s more! If you’re looking for a watch over $2,000.00, it is automatically eligible for eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee service and wallets on eBay listed for more than $500.00 from 15+ top designer brands will also be accompanied by an Authenticity Guarantee badge, denoting their eligibility for eBay’s service. Think brands the likes of Chanel, Gucci, and Hermès, all being authenticated. No headaches. No worries. Just peace of mind and the status to go along with it.

Here are the five watch and wallet picks that I feel would go great together for either you or as gifts for someone you love:
The Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Silver Dial Watch and the Gucci Kingsnake GG Supreme Bi-Fold
The Gucci Wallet Kingsnake GG Supreme Bi-Fold with makes for the ideal companion to the watch previously mentioned. Not just for the character of the piece and the fact that it’s almost an opposing design to the Star Legacy watch, but for the fact that Gucci has such a rich, and interesting (I mean, have you *seen* “House of Gucci” yet?) history and is such a recognized brand amongst those both “in the know’ and, well, not.

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 Quartz Chronograph and a Bottega Veneta Bright Yellow Men’s Wallet
To compliment the yellow accents in the aforementioned watch, I chose a bright yellow Bottega Veneta soft leather wallet crafted in a traditional intertwined leather pattern. While the wallet is labeled as, “men’s,” it’s clear we live in a generation where labels aren’t as important, so this wallet – and the watch – could be purchased for anyone. The wallet is listed here.
The Nomos Tetra 450 with Dark Blue Dial and the Chanel Light Green “Caviar” Zip Wallet
One can never go wrong when purchasing anything made by Chanel. Read that sentence again. Now again, once more. Then go ahead and click this link and consider purchasing this striking iridescent, light green “Caviar”’ quilted wallet by Chanel which is the perfect combination of green and gray, thus making it an ideal companion to the Nomos in this selection.
The Omega X Swatch Mission to Jupiter “Ultra man” and the Louis Vuitton “Virgil Abloh” Monogram Leather Bifold
There is no doubt that Virgil Abloh was, in his own unique way, larger than life. And with Jupiter being the largest of the planets in our solar system, I feel this Louis Vuitton “Virgil Abloh” Monogram Leather Bifold wallet is not only an ideal companion in theme, but also in hue. Check out this rare piece here.
The KITH X G-Shock 25th Anniversary Limited Edition and the Hermès Constance Slim Wallet/Fanny Belt Bag with Rose Gold Hardware
Thinking that a fanny pack is cool is mind blowing to me as someone who grew up in the 1980s but leave it to Hermès to create a slim wallet in black leather with rose gold “H” hardware that can double as a fanny belt bag. This is another choice that I was drawn to from the standpoint of going with more of a playful watch on the wrist with a wallet that’s as serious as a heart attack. Take a peek at the piece at this link.
Hope you enjoyed reading this watch and wallet pairing style guide. Just selecting items for it gave me a sense of shopping and remember what I said earlier in this post… shopping is life.
