Montegiro's sound design
The record player comes in a gorgeous, conical, striped aluminum-and-acrylic design, and includes a carbon-fiber arm, titanium cartridge, and a hyper-precise motor that cuts down on excess noise. Of course, all that modernity comes at a price: RM165,000. Suddenly spending a grand on a vintage model sounds a bit more appealing.

The Style Guy Q&A from GQ
Q: I wear a large Breitling watch. With a dress shirt, should i wear the cuff over the watch or pull the sleeve up my arm slightly to expose the watch?
A: I warned you guys about big watches. They look best when dressed in a polo shirt fighting a marlin or negotiating hairpin turns into a Lotus Elan with your cashmere sweater rolled up to your elbows. I know im not going to stop guys from wearing sport watches with suits, at least not yet, but big watches, unlike big feet, do not connote...you know, other 'bulges'.
My vote : No big watches with suits, unless you want to look like a rapper wannabe. Classic watches always best. A suit is already considered a 'huge' item on your body..why add on? It's not a balance.

1961 Spyder California Ferrari
Some of the first and finest Ferraris ever produced will go on sale at the marque's Maranello factory on May 18. The star of RM Auctions' Ferrari: Leggenda e Passione is a 1961 250 GT SWB Spyder California (pictured) that belonged to tough-guy actor James Coburn. Estimated at $4.6 to $5.9 million, it's considered one of the most beautiful and valuable Ferraris ever made. (Coburn used to race it around the Hollywood Hills with his pal Steve McQueen.) Also on offer: a 1951 Inter Coupe PF 512 that director Roberto Rossellini bought as an anniversary present for his wife, Ingrid Bergman ($1-$1.3 million); and, on the more modern end, a 2004 Enzo made for a member of a Middle Eastern royal family—the only example ever produced in gray ($1.2-$1.5 million). If that's a little out of your range, there's also plenty of Ferrari memorabilia on offer, from blueprints to carburetors. Can't wait until Sunday? The house is taking bids now.
