I've been looking for quite a while. A Chanel was never an option - too expensive for me, especially for that type of watch. Nothing I looked at fit the bill - until I found one at ShopNBC - a Swiss Legend. It came today - and I'm absolutely thrilled! I don't have pictures yet - I have to take it to my jeweler and have about 4 links taken out - but this is really beautiful - especially for the money - I paid just over $300!

Here's the stock picture:

I'm very pleased! I'll post pics of mine when it fits!

You will love it as much as I love mine!!! I got the diamond version from ShopNBC in black ceramic. I also have a Bellagio ceramic watch from ShopNBC. I wear the black one almost every day. I love it so much I might go back for the one without diamonds.

Great watches.....Have the diamond version....Now also at AmaZon.

chessmont · Sep 28th, 2008, 12:20 PM

I have one, too, now (thanks to starbuck's pics!) not diamond though - saving up for an expensive watch and didn't want the diamond one.

Do you know if there is any place in Los Angeles that sells these watches. I would love to see one in person before buying one.

So glad to hear. I am really you like it. Have had so much fun sharing some of my watches. While not a Chanel or Dior, the Swiss Legend Karamica is a good deal for the money. I only got the diamond version, because a plain one was not offered at the time. Would be interested to know how many people ordered it after I posted pix. You can also find the watches at Amazon, World of Watches and O-stock. But the Karamica is great value. Am eagerly awaiting your pix.

-My only problem, and it will remain so until I give and get bifocals, is the face is a little hard to read. Which is why I got the gold-trimmed, gold hands - I would never in a million years be able to see the silver on white or silver on MOP. I am having a little trouble with this one, but dammit, I'll just whip out my reading glasses, this watch is so nice.

Does anyone have a black one, in any of the various dials, and are they, or are any of them easy to read?

-What color dial do you have?

Rondafaye · Oct 6th, 2008, 06:49 PM

I just ordered the white with the black MOP face from World of Watches. I got what they called a "no brainer" code message on the watch-viewing and it knocked the price down from $399 to $257. I don't know if the code is reusable (and it only worked on the white band with black MOP version), but if anyone wants to try, it's NBR110667978

Rondafaye · Oct 10th, 2008, 09:50 AM

I ended up getting the white with the white MOP face and the rose gold markers. I love it. Taking it to the jeweler to remove extra links today.

-Thanks to starbucks

I just ordered a black with rose gold trim and markers

Rondafaye, I din't get any kind of pop-up code, and couldn't find a box to enter your code, but they were having 15% off on most styles, so maybe that's why they weren't giving other codes.

Rondafaye · Oct 11th, 2008, 09:44 AM

Ooh, post a photo please!

beljwl · Oct 11th, 2008, 10:34 AM

I just bought this one... What do you think??? I am still thinking about returning it and getting the Swiss Legend Karamica... What do you think??

I got it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Bianci-Condezz...3735469&sr=8-1

Here is the stock photo

Here is a modeling photo.

bel, I like it very much!!! What kind of price point for this brand? (if you don't mind me asking?)

What is it about this watch that you think you'd rather have the Swiss Legend?
