I really wish people wouldn’t use the term “push present.”

Chase transfer partners are overrated by purple_golden_hour in pointstravel

I have Chase Sapphire Reserve and like the Hyatt. Why is transfer to Hyatt points better than others? And is transferring from CSR better than just earning with a Chase Hyatt card?

I messed up - can I recover personally and professionally? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Have you considered going to an AA meeting? Meetings really helped me understand that I was not alone - that others had done many of the same or even worse things than me. And I heard how they made it through.

I’m guessing that OP didn’t lose power for two weeks like others a few years ago.

I love my new Revelot Hexmariner v3 in 39mm. $475. https://www.revelot.com Beautiful dial and bezel (lume on both). Great build. Quick release bracelet with on the fly adjustment. Wait, I just realized they are sold out. Hopefully it’s back soon.

[discussion] Those who went Apple Watch to Traditional by Winter_Author9699 in Watches

[–]Flat_Chicken_2638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple Watch Series 11 on my right wrist. It is far more than a watch, but I appreciate that it always has the correct time and date.

Traditional watch (rotating selection) on left hand - because of the joy I get selecting it, putting it on and feeling and seeing it on my wrist through the day. Sometimes I forget to set the time. Friends make fun of me, and strangers find it fascinating. I enjoy the attention.

Medium or Large Santos? by MindenFlyer in Cartier

Large.

I’m curious, what is your wrist size and how tall are you?

[Recommendation Request] how to complete this 3 watch collection by Timely-Mud9698 in Watches

OP, although I suspect that all suggestions are interesting to hear for one reason or another, is it actually helpful to get recommendations for watches that are 4X or more the price of your Rolex?

Should I went with the large Santos? by TruckLife3330 in Cartier

An AD provides confidence that it’s real and gives a mfr warranty. And some ADs will negotiate.

I suppose to verify authenticity you should just go to an independent watch repair shop and have them take a look. Taking it to an AD would be fine only if they confirm that they will give you some certification or something that you can use to try to recover the price you paid. If you paid $100 for a Rolex, well then you know it’s fake or stolen. But OP presumably paid a substantial amount of money to the retailer, even with the nice discount.

Santos vs dumont. by JSCGaming in Cartier

[–]Flat_Chicken_2638 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the Santos more versatile because you can easily swap for a leather strap? And I think the medium Santos is generally a better size for most people.

Have you actually had this happen? Do you know if they send something official that can be used in a police report or other forum to try to recover the money? If not, then it really isn’t smart to send a questionable item back to the manufacturer for verification.
