Can someone that owns the size 16 bracelet tell me if the 16cm is measured from the inside of the bracelet or the outside. My wrist measures about 14cm and I am concerned the 16 will be too big. I did go to the store, but I tried on a sizer which really wasn't helpful at all. I really appreciate any advice.

my wrist is 14cm at the narrowest part and i wear a 17, i could do a 16 but the SA said that it might bother me on hot days, and also i broke my wrist when i was 9 and the bone sticks out a bit weirdly so it would be annoying to push over that if the bracelet were any tighter. so i definitely don't think a 16 would be too big :smile1: and if you prefer a looser fit you may even want to go with a 17!
 
2 more weeks until the increase. Plus, they are all getting out of stock soon, since the increase is coming up. Once they're out of stock, you can no longer pre-order and lock your price in.

Oh, I didn't know that. I might just have to go over to Dallas. I thought if you ordered before you could still get the lower price. I am so glad you clued me in to this! I certainly don't want to pay more.

No you cannot lock it in. Even if you put a deposit, if you go back after the price increase date, you have to pay the higher price to get your item. Pretty much either you get it now, before they go out of stock, or you may more.

Thanks so much! I measured where I want the bracelet to sit. So I really hope it works, if I go to the store to buy I will definitely try it on first. Now I need to convince hubby to go to Dallas this weekend. He doesn't like the traffic and congestion over there.

Oh man....I just called Dallas to ask about stock. They were supposed to be calling me back. That was like thirty minutes ago! If they don't call me back, I will call back tomorrow. Or maybe I will just go to the store after work tomorrow.

it may also depend on the shape of your wrist - if it were taller as opposed to wider i'd probably be fine with a 16, as it is now i have space on the sides but it's fairly snug height wise. i don't think you'll have issues with a 16 being too big though :smile1: hope you can get it before the increase!

Thanks, I hope I can get it before too. Kinda annoying they haven't called me back.

I spoke with my SA, and she brought in both the cuff and bracelet. It's a big purchase and you want to see all options. She literally fought to have them both in, since people were trying to put deposits. It took a few days, she emailed me, and I went in the same day. Don't waste your time if they won't have it in stock. Make sure your SA gets everything you need BEFORE the 21st, and go in and try them on. I tried both of them on, walked around in the store, looked in the mirrors. It's a big purchase, so be smart about it all :)

Yea. I agree. Especially since the last time I went they only gave me a sizer to try. I am gonna be persistent and continue to call. I definitely think I am cutting it close with the price increase. It's crazy I bet with the increase at the store too. I wonder if 16 is the most sought after size?

Yes, 16 is the most sought out. I purchased mine 2 weeks ago today. They had a few bracelets left, and ONLY 3 cuffs left in that size in the country. Just try to get your hands on it. And, I never got a sizer, I tried on the real deal. Just tell them you are ready to purchase and need to try it on, rather than the sizer. I tried it on, and so should you!

I also have a 14 wrist and the 16 bracelet is great! It does not move around very much and does not "turn". I tried on the cuff, it is secure, but somehow was not very comfortable on my wrist. I decided on the bracelet and I am really enjoying it!

You are making me nervous. So I am buying a bracelet tomorrow and having it shipped to my parents house since their is no cartier store near me and I don't want to pay tax. I have never tried it on and my SA said I could exchange it for a bigger size later in May if I need a bigger size. I won't get stuck paying more will I??
