Opus X Cufflinks

[Craig Mac]

We often times have the debate about lighters and cutters and how there is a camp who feels a $2 lighter or cutter is just as good as you will ever need and some prefer a certain look or style that warrants a higher end purchase. Well today we got in one of those items and I have to say I may drop a little coin for a set of these bad boys. I don't get dressed up often so I don't mind breaking out the nice suit, nice watch and take around my nicer lighter, etc... So what say ye? You ever see yourself splurging a bit or is this the type of thing that a $10 pair is more than enough.

It's definitely a nice presentation... what is the MSRP? Not something I would wear as I'm not a Fuente junky, but they definitely look nice.

 

[Kantucky]

In theory yes, but I don't really dig the design.

cufflinks are something you spend a little change on if youre going to wear them...

that said.. I dont know if I would drop $500 on Opus links.. like this guy is trying to get for them...

For that sort of change.. I think I can get something that looks much, much nicer (IMO).... or frankly spend between 1/3 - 1/2 of that and still get something extremely nice.. that will be more than enough for just about any occasion.. outside of attending one of P-diddy's "white" parties..

They are $500 for the set, but they give you fancy box too

Maybe if they included a matching handkerchief and free shipping? I would be in.

At least a travel humi... or maybe a CI impress cutter?

There is a little silk thing you could use as a hanky if you wanted an the price does include shipping I believe.

 

[smokemifugotem]

5 bills is a bit high...they are cool but damn.

In that case, ill take 2

Could I wear then with a long sleeved tuxedo t shirt? I think that would say I'm serious but I like to party lol

Despite the peanut gallery, wouldn't something like this be similar to buying a DuPont lighter or Brietling watch or any high end jewelry?

My personal view on that comparison: no. Those other two have mechanical attributes that contribute to the price. At least in my head, something that actually does something is easier to justify than something that is aesthetic from start to finish.

 

[Craig Mac]

I see where you are are coming from, to a point. The jump in a $6000 to $10K watch is usually more than just mechanics.

Some would justify the DuPont by saying it's handmade from a block or whatever the case may be, but the mechanics don't separate it from lighters that are hundreds of dollars less.

I think it mostly comes down to preference. Common sense will likely prevail and I will just waste that money on something else or a couple of something else's, but I could see myself rocking these.

 

[MoJo]

I think these would be cool to own, couldn't justify the purchase for myself though

 

[RacFocus]

I'm sure some people would spend the money, but I don't have that kind of disposable income and I don't wear cufflinks enough to justify something like that. I wear a polo every day to work.

Cool looking cuff links! Definitely baller stuff.
