I really luv the pink mop with yg guilloche. Shld I pull the trigger? Will I regret and if it is good invest?

I think it is a super stunning watch!:heart:

I would buy if I have places or events to wear to. Unfortunately I don’t have the lifestyle now to wear it — it is currently all about activities with my 3.5yo toddlers and work.

Hi sorry to have revived an old thread, anyone owning the alhambra watch find it difficult to read time? Can you share youth experience for those who hv it? Does it become pure decorative or reallly functional watch?

I am able to read the time. The design of the motif makes it easy to tell time from the watch. Check out the watch in boutique and see if you can read the time there and then.

Here's a pic of my watch, after a strap change.

Hi! I just bought a Sweet Alhambra watch 18K rose gold with pink Mother-of-pearl. I will be removing a rose gold guilloché to fit my wrist. Anyone has any experience on what to do with the spare guilloché? It will be such a waste to keep it in storage! I am thinking of converting it to a necklace, any advice?

I have never removed a spare motif from a VCA watch, but converting it into a pendant seems like a great idea. Is the motif being removed by VCA? Just thinking about potential issues in the future for servicing.
 
Yes, the motif will be removed by VCA. I am thinking of getting a chain from VCA and wearing the spare motif as a necklace. Does anyone has any similar experience?

Bought this same watch 2 months ago & removed 1 guilloche too.
Couldn't find a rose gold chain with clasp that's small enough to fit through the motif ring except this yellow gold chain. Make do with it until a rose gold chain is found :). Do note that there's joint-ring on each side of the motif.

How about making a cord bracelet with the spare motif? That ensures that both joint rings are used

Yes, look nicer too.
Hi all, I have the sweet Alhambra pink MOP watch and my amazing Jeweller managed to remove the links and covert it into a regular necklace, the old link joints are completely removed. Please see pic. I’m so so happy with the results and 10000% recommend this!F9A6A449-9221-4FC1-92D2-A9B6994589DC.jpeg
