Question for you: some people mentioned that the new bracelet is more round and thicker throughout. I have had the new version for a few months before starting to have problems with the lock and exchanging for the old version. Personally I didn't notice this difference in shape or that the older version is less substantial. The only difference I noticed is that the old version is missing 1 or 2 diamonds at the bottom where it meets the hand because of the larger hole in the lock. I would appreciate your opinion because I don't perceive my bracelet to have a different shape or to be lighter than the new.
Hi everyone, I'm more of a lurker on this forum but wanted to share my new white gold JUC!
I'm an asian man in my early thirties with a fit athletic build and have never been into jewelry at all (only wear a watch) but for some reason this bracelet sang to me.
Design-wise, I love its:
-simplicity
-asymmetry, can be worn facing “up” or “down”
-oval shape to fit the wrist anatomy
-how the curve of the bracelet is so seemless and unnoticeable
-the idea that the head/beginning of the nail is attached to the end of itself
I know I’m probably overthinking this but even the shape of the round nail head, slightly protruding below the coil, whilst leaving a small indent on the wrist after prolonged wear, sits so well on inside-aspect in the groove of the ulna bone as to be comfortable and not rotate around the wrist. It just parks there by default and so stays centered.
It feels youthful, fashion-forward and a bit avant-garde for a historical brand like Cartier. The idea of a tool, a nail with its sharp point and requiring the force of a hammer to be used, being converted into nothing more than a piece of jewelry. Maybe it was too fashion-forward for its time in the 70’s? Time will tell if it becomes as iconic as the love bracelet but I'm certainly going to enjoy it now in the present.
I can be dressed up in a suit (just peeking under my sleeve cuff) or in jeans and a polo or T-shirt. I think it will match all colors as well, bright or dark. I was pleasantly surprised with the rhodium plating too, its not too shiny or blingy as I expected, maybe because of its small size.
I had a chance to look at both the new and old lock mechanism and concur that the new mechanism design is just a bit heavier, slightly thicker, and noticeable more “solid” feeling than the old, but you have to hold them together to tell. Unless you’re very partial towards the old mechanism, the newer bracelet seems to feel better and, at least for me, fit my wrist better (I have fairly thick forearm muscles so the rounder shape hugs my wrist better). So, despite the option of buying the discontinued model as other members here did, I bought the new one.
I like the definitive click when I put it on and, unlike previous posts about the new model, my bracelet doesn’t make a sound or noise when I move it on my wrist or tap the nail head. It’s pretty stiff and solid. It requires quite a bit of finger strength to open the mechanism and I’m quite confident it won’t come off; maybe some of the other models that needed exchanges were defective in some way at the clasp.
Anyway, I’m still pretty infatuated with it. Thanks for letting me ramble.
May I ask why you have decided to sell it? I've been going back and forth with getting a JUC and don't know if I would tire of it soon after getting one.Ooh lol.
I've been trying to buy but paypal doesn't seem to work...Has anyone else tried Magic Bling Star Glow mentioned earlier to remove scratches from their bracelet? Did you purchase from the website directly?
That's really disappointing. I don't see it being sold anywhere else onlineI've been trying to buy but paypal doesn't seem to work...

Quick question for everyone:
Does your JUC catch on any of your clothing? I am super annoyed because my JUC ring just ruined a beautiful Rag & Bone sweater by getting caught in a stitch, pulling it out, and leaving a hole in the delicate fabric. I've been wanting to purchase a JUC bracelet but don't want to worry about it getting caught on everything.
I have the JUC bracelet in yellow gold and wear it with delicate clothes (cachemire and Silk) andQuick question for everyone:

Thank you for the feedback!Hi, have both the JUC ring and bracelet. So far neither has caught on any clothing -- however will watch out for the ring after your experience!
Thank you! This is helpful as I tend to wear a lot of cashmere and silks also. I think the ring catching was a freak accident! HahaI have the JUC bracelet in yellow gold and wear it with delicate clothes (cachemire and Silk) and
It doesn't catch on anything at all
I love this bracelet so much I'm thinking of getting the white gold one with diamonds soon
Hope this helps
