Oh you can! Call your boutique to inquire. The cost will be about 30% extra, and it takes at least 6 months, or even longer (sometimes maybe even a year) for the special order to be made.

Sometimes they reserve this service only for their top clients, and/or it is usually only available in exotic skins like lizard, ostrich, and crocodile, but they make exceptions.

But it's best to get it in HK where you are from. That way, when the bag arrives, you can actually pick it up in person and not have to pay customs on it.

I've never seen the "scar" detail before. Can you post a picture?

I wish the men's RTW was available to view and purchase online

The scars are on the back at the point where the sleeves meet the back.

Definitely the Dior.

The DotCom is a new bag and I'm not sure if it will be a classic. It may go on sale in two seasons. It doesn't look anywhere as nice as the Be Dior in my opinion.

As for the Celine Box, I'm not a huge fan of it. It is a nice bag, but it looks high maintenance in Box leather, and I don't like the compartments in it.

I used to desperately want a Celine Luggage bag. I dropped my name at a bunch of Toronto retailers that sold Celine to get my hands on a medium size, which never arrived thankfully. Now I don't want it anymore. It became too popular a few years back, and I'm afraid that it will look dated in a few years, especially with its "wings" on the side.

The Be Dior looks a lot more classic, with a timeless appeal. Definitely go for the Be Dior.

How about Diorissimo Large and Be Dior? I like the fact that the Be Dior shoulder strap is wider lol but at the same time the Diorissimo is sooooooo classic

Difficult choice. I think that the Diorissimo would be a much more convenient bag to use because you can just toss things in and take things out without having the open a lock. But the Be Dior seems a lot more unique, which I like.

And the Diorissimo came in an ultra black which I think works perfectly for guys. It may not be available anymore, but you can call and inquire to see if an SA can track one down for you.

It was $6650 Canadian when I got it. It is now $6900.

It's my favourite watch in the world. Still can't stop looking at it when I wear it and playing with how the light dances on the surface of the pyramids. :cloud9:

Same here. I kept buying Dior watches before my Dior VIII and I told myself that my next watch should be a Rolex because I should get a more "recognizable" watch brand.

I checked out the Rolex watches at Yorkdale and all I saw were that they were nice, but nothing got my attention. It felt like I almost had to force myself to pick a style because nothing was love at first sight. I eventually thought that I should get the Cellini but it only comes in 18K gold and that's more than I want to pay for a watch that I don't love (it was also beyond my budget). I also think the case of the Cellini is too thick.

Besides, they didn't have anything in full ceramic, which I wanted because I wanted a solid black watch.

Meanwhile, I kept going to Holt Renfrew to admire their small selection of Dior VIII watches on display. Every time I stepped into the store, I would swing by the display to look. I was mesmerized by the way the watch sparkled, and how transparent the crystal was (although that is quite standard among high-end watches like Breitling and Omega). I also loved how elegant it looked. The two other ceramic watches I was considering, the Rado Hyperchrome and Chanel J12, were a tad too sporty for my taste. Dior just seems to get "elegant" perfectly.

When I finally bought the VIII, I knew I made the right choice. I mean, it was the only watch that made me visit the display just to look at it.

Yea just go with your heart and get the one you want the most!!! Rolex watches are meh and boring to me...they are very nice watches but they just didn't speak to me at all... they are recognizable but still I would not pay that much for a watch that i don't love. The same goes with Hermes bags...they are incredible in quality but design-wise just meh to me. Higher price tag doesn't always mean the best in everything. Your modeling pics of VIII are just so "poisonous" lol

I couldn't find any modeling pics of guys wearing the Be Dior! awwwww If I get the chance to try the ones I want I would post some pics here :p
