I posted a thread a while ago about getting a toy watch and how it didnt work, so they replaced it and that one didnt work either... so then i got a Michael Kohrs watch and that broke after wearing it for 6 days...

so i havnt had much luck in the watch department...

i have been looking at the michelle watches, and alot of people here seem to have them....

so my questions are.... do they hold up well? or do they break after a while? i this is good brand of watch to get... i want an everyday watch to wear casual and dressy....

this is the watch i am looking at.... but i am wondering if i can purchase a different band instead of the patent one?

thanks!!!

I have a Michele mini deco with diamonds and I love it. I've had it since November and wear it frequently (I alternate it with my Omega, but while my Omega was being serviced I wore this one daily for over a month). It's held up beautifully and I'd happily recommend this brand to anyone. In fact, I'm planning to purchase a second Michele watch in the next few months (the Ceramic Deco watch with diamonds).

As for the straps you can buy it with a variety of different straps/bracelets. The straps are changeable so after you have it you can keep buying different straps for it!

Here's a picture of mine:

is better to order the watch on line, or go into a store?

i love my michele watch as well...i have an XL diamond deco that i got in may, and i her so much! she's gorgeous, no problems, and its nice to have the option of buying her accessories (i.e. new straps) i only have generic straps right now, bought off eBay, just so i could see if i'd actually enjoy changing out the straps, but honestly, i prefer my ss bracelet the most. good luck with ur decision - at the very least, this watch should come with a warranty so u have some peace of mind!

You may do better depending on the store. I got mine at Tourneau and they took quite a bit off the price for me (plus you get free battery replacement for life when you buy a watch through them).

That looks so much like my Cartier Panthere! I suppose the price difference is significant!

i was thinking about going there, they have a store in king of prussia...

did you ask for them to take anything off the price or is that something that they do?

I think it will depend on your SA. The person who sold me my Michele watch just automatically gave me a 'best offer' before I even had to ask. Sometimes you have to ask. If you pay with cash you'll probably get an even better deal (at least that has been my experience).
