Yeah it will definitely be steep and there are no reputable leather repair stores around my area. Thanks for your advice 
I'll have a look to see if any twillies match the vibe of the bag!

I haven’t worn this bag since 2008. I can’t recall
It held well. There are no cracks or anything.
Worn for one winter and put away and forgotten until now

I wear my rose gold JUC and white gold D’amour bracelet everyday. I’ve been on the hunt for a white gold or silver bangle (other than Cartier) and I just saw this new design by DY. Does anyone have this bracelet? Do you think it works with my current stack? 🤍

Watches: Quartz vs Mechanical vs Automatic (quick cheat sheet)

Thank you for this! Hearing mechanical and automatic used interchangeably (usually in watch review videos on YT) is also a pet peeve of mine LOL! 😇 While I get that automatic watches are technically a type of mechanical, there is still an important distinction there. Of course, not everyone is into watches or cares about the different movement types and many buy simply due to aesthetics, popularity, etc. But I still think it’s a good idea to do some research and at least have a basic understanding of the different movement types (and which is best-suited for your particular lifestyle) especially when making a luxury watch purchase. Just my two cents! 💙Hello all, this is nothing new to watch lovers but I see mechanical and automatic used interchangeably as if they were the same and sorry, I just had to scratch an itch.
Taken straight from Google AI:
A watch movement, also known as a calibre, is the internal mechanism that powers a watch and enables it to tell time. It's the "engine" of the watch, responsible for moving the hands and powering any additional features like chronographs or calendars.
There are three main types of watch movements: mechanical, automatic, and quartz.
- Mechanical Movements:
These rely on a mainspring, which is wound either manually (by the user) or automatically (by the movement of the wearer's wrist). They use a series of gears and springs to regulate the release of energy, driving the hands and other complications.
- Automatic Movements:
A type of mechanical movement that utilizes a rotor (a weighted wheel) to wind the mainspring when the watch is worn. The motion of the wrist causes the rotor to rotate, which then winds the mainspring.
Key Differences:
- Quartz Movements:
These use a battery to power the watch, and a quartz crystal to regulate the movement. The battery sends an electrical current through the crystal, causing it to vibrate at a precise frequency, which then drives the hands and other functions.
Power Source: Mechanical and automatic movements use a mainspring, while quartz movements use a battery.
Maintenance: Mechanical movements require winding, either manually or automatically, and may require occasional servicing. Quartz movements are typically more low-maintenance, as they only require battery replacements.
Accuracy: Quartz movements are generally more accurate than mechanical movements, as they rely on the precise frequency of a quartz crystal.
Price: Mechanical and automatic movements are generally more expensive than quartz movements, due to their complexity and the craftsmanship involved in their construction.
