Dominic's IYKYK #5
Mercedes W123, Cartier Santos, L.L. Bean Bean Boots, Master of None Apartment
Car
One of the most beautiful sedans ever made. And although ascending, clean versions of these can still be had for less than you’d think. (under $10k)
Incredibly slow, but the diesels are known to last forever. Plus, if you’re driving one of these, wouldn’t you want to savor it anyway? I’ve casually been looking for a clean version (300D) - I think it’d make for such a cool weekend car.
Watch
One of my favorite modern watches out right now.
Medium all the way. Better proportions. No date. All class.
What a stunner and I never see people wearing these.
Personal Style
ICONIC. My oldest pair of boots in my collection. Over 10 years old!
I sent them in to L.L. Bean on their 10 year anniversary to be resoled and they came back AMAZING.
L.L. Bean didn’t just resole them, they even patched the pieces of leather that were showing wear. They look rustic with the worn leather but with clean new bottoms. Now I love them more than ever.
Recommendation: If you live in a place that gets cold, pony up for the Thinsulate. Link above to the ones I have.

Dev’s Apartment from Master of None
If you’ve ever watched Master of None, Dev’s rad apartment has surely caught your eye. Above is a link to an article by Apartment Therapy on his apartment in the show. Basically, the ethos is (and my interior design ethos as well) - slowly acquire great pieces. It takes time to properly furnish a place. Don’t rush it with cheap pieces. Embrace that it might be sparse for a bit, but better than being surrounded by trash pieces.
Are you subscribed to my YouTube Channel where I go in depth on all of this kind of stuff??? You should be.
Cheers!

Every time I see a Santos, it makes me want one a little more.. maybe someday! Bean boots are on my list too, classic.
