TIMEPIECES: Rolex Explorer II

Sometimes, the best answer is the simplest one.
Much like my pseudo-Chinese-proverb statement above, the Rolex Explorer II is an exploration into the simplest of designs which hit the mark for subtle awesomeness.  You don’t always need to have a chronograph (that you will never use) nor do you need that white gold finish to make [...]

STYLE: Spy Specs

Remember when you were a kid and you just had to have all the accessories for your G.I. Joes?  The hovercraft, the boat, the tank, the guns and all the other paraphernalia made everything just so – complete.
There was no way Snake Eyes was going to go into battle without his sword.
The same is true [...]

FEATURE: UNDFTD Shoes

Sneakers, kicks, shoes, call them what you will, but separate yourself from the pack, man. I love mine. I don’t have Air Force 1’s. I don’t throw away my classic white K-Swiss because they’ve got a mark on them. But I do take my shoes seriously. I shop around and [...]

BLAME IT ON THE…: Margarita

Who says a margarita is a woman’s drink?
Your mom does?  Well, obviously she hasn’t been to Mexico where margaritas are a staple alcoholic beverage for men, women, locals and turistas alike.
They’re great drinks when you’re sitting by the pool checking out all the middle aged hotties make out with each other.  They’re also great drinks [...]

FEATURE: Debunking the 5 myths of “adults only” all-inclusive resorts

Have you ever heard of “adults-only” all-inclusive resorts?  Do places like “Hedonism, Secrets and Temptations” sound familiar? 
Don’t worry, this isn’t your girlfriend testing you.  It’s a serious question.
If they sound vaguely familiar, just check out one of your adult or men’s magazines.  You’ll invariably find an ad for these resorts tucked in there somewhere either in [...]

STYLE: Loudmouth Golf

STYLE: Loudmouth Golf

Psst.  You.  Yeah, you.  The one wearing the khakis that look like cardboard.  I’ve got a story to tell you.  A while back when I was in a Niketown store I came across some of their golf attire.  I saw a short sleeved shirt in a killer color and a great fabric.  I bought it. [...]

FEATURE: On All Fours

FEATURE: On All Fours

Exotics. I loooove them. That grumbling of the exhaust when they are started up, and the ensuing growl when the accelerator is pressed.

I stayed in a hotel in Sardinia that had a fleet of Maserati Quattroportes. They would come and go in pairs, and that little convoy would invoke imaginings of international espionage, or a [...]

Smoking is bad for your health.  I’m not trying to make a judgment call, it’s just a fact.  We want you to go out after making love to your supermodel wife on the hood of your Porsche Cayman with Cristal everywhere.  We don’t want you to go out with something as pedestrian as lung cancer.

DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

Nice van. Not words that you usually hear paired in a sentence. It’s like ‘genius supermodel’, or ‘honest politician’, it just doesn’t work.
Mercedes Benz is known as a purveyor of delicious automobile candy here in the states. But beyond our borders, they are known also for making super-compact cars, trucks (as in [...]
