I already know where this is going! Here goes - my 20th anniv is early Nov. My favorite jeweler is bringing in the titanium j12 and an assortment of tennis bracelets for me to see next Tuesday.
I already own:3 rolex (ladies, mid-size, air king), 2 j12s (a white and a black) 2 cartiers (ballon bleu, roadster) and a concord, Baume& Mercier, Raymond Weil and more! I have a RG Cartier Love cuff and a WG Cartier Love bangle. I have a WG (noname) bracelet w/diamond stations that looks lovely next to a watch. I pursued tennis bracelets in the past but the quality was awful - I-2 diamonds. The better quality was either $10,000 or I'd have to get under tcw of 2 to stay in price range. The j12 cost $6300. When it just came out, they were not allowed to discount it. But now they can do 10% off. So for once, instead of purchasing to beat an increase - I actually can get a cheaper price now trhan 6 months ago by waiting it out. I know everyone will vote tennis bracelet because you can only wear 1 watch at a time and I admit - my collection is pretty amazing! Thanks for reponses!
 
Knew this would be unanimous! If budget doesn't allow for all around diamond tennis bracelet - what is your opinion on one that alternates diamonds and sapphires (my birthstone)?
 
Just bumped into neighbor walking our dogs. She was wearing a beautiful tennis bracelet. It wasn't that big and not overly sparkly. But I really admired it. Maybe it is a sign...I know it is the wisest way to go.
 
I asked this in an old thread of mine. But I will ask again and maybe get some fresh opinions. Bloomies has a tennis bracelet that retails for $5600 on their site. This weekend it will be 1/2 off plus an extra 20% off for friends and family. Many said to NOT ever purchase diamonds from a dept. store. Perhaps someone can post (transfer) picture of it from site onto this thread. I am planning to see it in person tomorrow. Thoughts?
 
Clearly you love watches and have an awesome collection. No doubt you'll be adding to it in the future.
I'd vote that this time around, give yourself a chance to fall in love with another accessory ;)
 
OK...I hate to ask, but do you wear all your watches? Would you consider selling one to fund a nice tennis bracelet?
A nice watch plus a nice TB are true staples, IMHO.
