I have 4 loves and one JUC. My JUC is SO comfortable. My only complaint is it occasionally gets caught on my sweaters but never enough to warrant removing it.
The pave is spectacular and I think it would look great with your other two watches.

I would get a second pave love! 😀

I don’t have the pave JUC but I do have the diamond one and I find the nail head a bit uncomfortable. I don’t prefer to stack it with my loves and wear it on my other wrist (usually on its own).

Was just in the TPF’s VCA thread, and I couldn’t resist! This is the VCA 3 row pave perlee bangle worn by the gorgeous @chiaoapple I mentioned as another option. Actually this piece is really heavy compared to the clover perlee bangle because of the diamonds. It is a nice break from another pave love and balances the look.

If you have access to a VCA boutique, you may want to visit before you settle in your latest purchase. The quality of their diamonds are in the DEF range, so the sparkle quality is up there. I actually prefer this to the perlee clover. The clover bangle shows fingerprints especially in YG and could look dull at the end of the day.

While waiting, I am still agonizing over whether to do the rose pavé classic Love, the yellow pavé Clou or whether to go another direction. The Daytona is out.

Does anyone have please any photos of a rose & yellow classic sized pavé Love stack, or a yellow & yellow pavé Love & Clou stack? It would be helpful to see these in action.

Can’t go wrong with any of those choices. Just got to go with makes your heart sing and makes you smile from ear to ear. When you know, you know. Or you could hold off until you get that feeling.

I saw this in my news feed. Scottie Pippen’s twins with their new gifts. The JUC looks great in its own or a Rolex.

Hi friends! Thanks for your many helpful thoughts and insights. I believe I have ruled out the Daytona. As much as I enjoy it, it's probably a bit sportier than I am and I tend to gravitate to things that I will use very often. Seeing how little play my second watch gets, I can't justify a third.

I am still considering a second full sized pave Love, likely in rose, although I've also asked the boutique to bring in the white one, and a yellow pave JUC. Hopefully these will be in about a week from now for me to go try.

I am having a bit of a time with this because I realize it will likely be the last acquisition of this caliber for this part of my life. I have been chasing grails since I was 17, which was now a long time ago, and it's time for me to focus on pursuits that feed my soul. Will be interesting to see where we land.

Please feel free to share ideas and photos as I await the arrival of these pieces.

As a side question, what happened to the love you bought when you were 17? May I ask if you regret parting with? My love has a similar story and I’ve gone back and forth selling to upgrade it.

Have you considered anything from the other lines? Have tou seen the thicker panthere cuffs? Otherwise it sounds like you want the clou.

Hi! I have considered other lines. I just can't quite connect with Clash and the thicker panthere cuffs don't stack the way I would like them too with this. Plus, I think there's sort of an unspoken "one panther at a time" rule for me, since they're so dramatic, and I wear a panthere pavé ring every day on the same hand as the Love. I'm still very well between the second Love and the Clou. I didn't keep my Clou ring for long which makes me a little nervous with a piece this expensive, but that's also a very different piece in that it has no movement on a finger.

To answer your other question above (sorry, bad at multi-quote) ... I do regret selling my Love I bought when I was young. It was on me for most of my 20s and had a lot of battle scars (and very illustrious and marvelous stories) with which I associated it. I had it polished because of accumulated damage on the edges and when it came back shiny and perfect, it didn't feel like my bracelet anymore, so I sold it. Owing to sentiment, I do wish I had kept it.

Believe it or not, I ended up with "none of the above". Ultimately after trying these pieces on, I felt more anxiety about whether I wanted to make such a big purchase than joy at the prospect of buying it. I felt so relieved when I walked out without having spent the money. I think the right treat to celebrate will present itself but this just didn't feel like it! Thanks all ...

I appreciate you sharing about the love bc I have been in the same predicament with the one I bought and wore my entire adult life for the last decade. But it’s rose gold and I had regretted it not being yellow gold with the diamonds and I was debating on selling it but was worried I would regret it. Thanks for your experience.

And I think you’ll know exactly what to get when the moment comes!
