Officine Panerai

Pairing it here with PAM 249 and George Daniels on the shelf. ...  

I love that you've got a Paul Auster/Siri Hustvedt shelf!

However I’m not allowed to have Sneakers in the bookshelves, even if they are rare. I’m OK with that even if I don’t get it. You have to choose your battles to win wars.

I think my most complete current author shelves are the JM Coetzee shelf and the George Saunders shelf... though both of them write much (much) shorter books than Murakami does!

Do you have one yourself?

Just shop what I find/need. My last acquisition for winter: ...  

Some for wearing. Some for display. ...  

I’m a V guy as well (behind only my VI black/infrareds), but my the colors in my watches tend to go with AJ I lows... ...  

That specific pair in the picture are unwearable now, they are the original “Retro” release from the mid 2000s. The soles would disintegrate if worn.

To be worn with trousers or casually. But nobody will know they are boots. ...  

Don’t know the brand. Will check it out.I do have some from Italian Officine Creative. Would be a nice pairing with the Officine Panerai wouldn’t it. 😀

You mentioned this watch in another discussion some months ago, saying nothing beats the 249. A week later I had it! It’s awesome! Merci

Actually there are quite many differences but you have to know.

I can certainly appreciate the dedication to curated sneaker collections, but besides my own fixation on Air Jordan 11 releases I can’t consider myself a proper sneakerhead. These are my most recent AJ 11s Retro Jubilee - 25th Anniversary, which dropped t...  

Almost jumped on them, but I have a problem with the shiny midsole. I like more subdued earth colours generally so obviously also a big Yeezy fan . Probably an age thing with these earth colours🤣.

I still keep up with the trends and I have friends who are passionate about sneakers and others who are in the business of buying/selling. My collection is mostly Common Projects now because they are quite versatile. I also do not like wearing some of the... 

On the budget side, I think we’re looking at a different $$ altogether. And the chase for that particular model is a nice thing. Thanks for liking the Dark Mochas. Being in the coffee business I just had to get them, even if I had to pay almost triple ret...  

AJ I Low ‘Black Toe’ with an Explorer II Polar and red Everest strap ...  

Great combo. I’m after that polar Rolex too.

I was still wearing short pants Lollllll Bit different for Panerai watches (not JUST watches). The 249 was my maiden model BTW

I had another Panerai. But the thickness turned me off. That one is perfect and has just a different vibe compared to the newer California. I used to prefer the P3000 movement, which I still do from a horological point of view, but this guy has this pocke...  

Eventually I will give it to my nephew but not for a while yet lollllllllllllllllllll

I've already given him the 232 and the 249 would make a nice present for his birthday. He LOVES Panerais. I haven't used it in...years. I have a lot of Panerais (I haven't used or bought a different brand of watches in 20 years) and can't use them all any... 

Here’s the sister pair to your post. Travis Scott Jordan’s. ...  

But the 249 ... ...
