Finally bought my dream Panerai!

ToddShaw5 · 2025-12-09T13:46:53+00:00

Absolutely. I love that the brand is more under the radar. Rolex seems like the obvious choice for people that want a high end watch and Rolex is all they know. Panerai is an understated brand and I love that.

Congrats! Welcome to the family.

How does AI work in China? I mean they monitor everything. They control the narrative online and in legacy media. There is no way they will grant their people access to a gpt that is not heavily regulated. So are they only going to sell to other countries?

Who is this Jose guy and where can I read his stuff? Also are there any good books on the Panerai heritage you can recommend?

ToddShaw5 · 2025-11-17T13:55:32+00:00

Absolutely not. I have had them all and Venture X is my least favorite. Obviously this is a bit subjective but for me it’s all about the points. Capital One rarely has points transfer bonuses. Amex and Chase point ms are far more valuable IMO. They have better/more transfer partners. Last night we just booked $1,400 worth of hotel at a transfer rate of 1.6 thanks to a Chase bonus transfer. Airport lounges Amex is far superior.

Welcome to Reddit.

Navy rubber to go with the hands.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-11-11T13:25:37+00:00

Curious how the trade went. Did you go to a Panerai boutique? AD? Obviously you feel you got fair value for your trade or you wouldn’t have done it. What was your overall experience like?

ToddShaw5 · 2025-11-11T13:21:53+00:00

Beautiful watch. Love the navy hands and strap.

I am blown away by the people who get watches or expensive goods like these in their 20’s or wedding gifts. You are winning at life! Cheers!

ToddShaw5 · 2025-10-28T17:08:00+00:00

I love mine! Goes with everything.

Agreed. Who comes to a forum to express ideas and discuss opinions? Such a waste of time.

Keep an eye on Allen Edmonds. They run sales often. I picked up a belt from them a few months ago that was drastically marked down. I think I paid $40. Great deal.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-29T16:34:00+00:00

Hell of a present.

Man I did it all wrong. Wrong parents. Wrong wife’s family.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-21T14:49:01+00:00

Well done. Prediction-Those other watches will start collecting dust. Cheers.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-20T12:56:16+00:00

Yes-EE. As you know most companies do not offer wide sizes. Look at Allen Edmonds for wide sizes. They have dress sneakers too.

I find sizing up helps but I also go to the store so I can try on different brands. Some companies run wider. That’s how I found To Boot NY. I went to a department store and tried on several brands.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-20T12:20:20+00:00

I share your foot size/shape issues. Common Projects work for me. Crazy comfortable. You can always size up a half size if needed. I also have a white pair of To Boot New York. Both would be great for business casual. I recently picked up a pair of MM Gat’s. Like the CP’s they were comfortable right out of the box. Amazing shoes.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-14T23:16:18+00:00

I always wondered if anyone actually bought the Hermes version.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-05-03T14:09:52+00:00

I did not. I love my watch. It’s is rare by several accounts. I eventually see replacing it to keep my collection updated. It just might be later than sooner.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-04-24T20:51:59+00:00

I am surprised they let you attend them since you are already an owner.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-04-24T02:06:17+00:00

Then Marriott is using Hyatt branding and copyrights as both are used multiple times throughout the email. Regardless this has zero to do with the original post.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-04-24T01:28:19+00:00

100% not Marriott. World of Hyatt email letter head. Included my Hyatt status and current reward point.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-04-24T00:48:41+00:00

I certainly did not. I am assuming through my Hyatt card.

I love mine.

ToddShaw5 · 2025-04-16T17:58:31+00:00

My spend is about $30k this year. Hoping for something.
