So....I went into Nordstrom's rack today and found a
Michele diamond deco baguette pink alligator watch. It looks like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Michele-K-watch-...QQcmdZViewItem

Now, I bought it for $479 plus 8.25% NY tax ( grrr).

I love Michele's because you can swap the strap and this watch is super dainty and girly. But for over 500 bucks I want a little more bling, you know? I really love the pink strap though.....hmmmm

Anyway, there is someone selling this same watch for 449 on ebay, so I'm thinking I can buy it there and save like 75 bucks...what do you guys think? The reason I'm debating is because ebay crap is final sale....and I'm already swaying....Oy!

Oh...and I also bought this coach bag at the Nordstrom's rack in White Plains for $179. Meanwhile, I purchased the SAME bag at coach 2 weeks ago during 25% PCE for 343 plux tax...I haven't used it yet, so needless to say the one I bought at coach is going back!

I bought it in the Magenta which they didn't have in the store at the time either, so they ordered it for me. Again, I found it in Magenta at Nordstrom's Rack for $179 in White Plains, NY!

Help me decide about the watch please!!!

I'm not sure but it's REALLY pretty!!! I love it!

Would I buy from ebay instead of Nordstroms to save $75? No. Not on a watch. Maybe if it was 40-50% cheaper, yes... but it's a risk. Hope that helps!

That's what I paid at Off 5th a few days ago and I think it was a GREAT buy!

I just bought one today with a metallic black lizard strap for under $450 and I love it. I'm also thinking of changing the strap to a bracelet style. I think it's a good buy!

I love that watch!! it's soo nice!! I've been after a Michele myself but remain undecided!

I love Michele watches and I think that is a great buy! Esp, one w/ diamonds. I would keep the one you have. A $75 savings is not worth the potential hassles of Ebay.

Great buy! I would keep the one you have. I am also contemplating buying the Deco with diamonds with SS bracelet. I'm Canadian so it's harder for me to find a good deal. We don't have NR, Off 5th so I have to buy online.
