Well said!Actually I don't see how this "worth it" fits into Cartier (or generally in luxury brand world). They will never be worth it (that money can be saved for children future education. Or pay for the experience to travel to see the world. Just some examples).
If only with diamonds makes you happy (or happier), and you can afford it be it now or saved up for future buy, then you should not settle. Buying a bracelet should come with a high happy index (or else what's the point?)
Do You Think the Reg JUC with Diamonds Is Worth It?

I have similar considerations, but for the JUC SM version. My friends mostly recommend the one with diamonds, and I do think that the diamonds are not exactly "worth it", since the money could go into funding another purchase or a tennis bracelet, which would be better value in that sense. However, if you would end up regretting getting a plain one, then either don't get the JUC at all, or get the JUC with diamonds! That's what I am telling myself too lol. I found it a little hard to justify the cost if if think about the additional price of the diamonds, but it is more acceptable from a cost-per-wear view and also not having to sell a plain one and upgrade in the future if my heart really prefers a JUC with diamonds
i like regular juc with diamonds.
And sm juc plain.
I like to think I prefer sm juc to keep that bit of industrial look (afterall it is just-a-nail). Like a small nail. Plain and simple.
the plain regular to me is off that chart already as it looks pretty hefty on me, being a nail, being "rough"; not exactly the look I'm eyeing on. Therefore I feel with diamonds, it transforms the look into a luxurious jewelry piece.To me it becomes more feminine and elevates the status. Just what I think, being one with small wrist. Months ago I did ask SA if his store has one with diamonds in size 14. He says no but that I should try again the 15 (which is definitely too big for me).

We are the same size ! My store has size 14 for SM, and otherwise they could do an order and it takes around 4 weeks for delivery, not sure if that’s an option for you.
ive actually yet to try the regular JUC, my wrist is thin and I remove my Jewelry before I sleep (so I liked the ease of removing of the SM).
will give the regular one a shot too!
Currently I’m also considering the VCA 5 motif MOP, so it’s between the vca or JUC sm diamonds for now
I have sm plain juc in 14 and I feel the fitting is perfect for me. Anything looser or tighter I will not be happy!
Wonder for those who own the sm and regular juc in same size, any difference in fitting or comfort?
Wow I think you “nailed” it here with your explanation! Yes, I agree totally. That’s why I am not drawn to the regular plain one—feels too masculine for me. I am also worried that the slim will continue to warp over time and that long term, it won’t hold up as a jewelry piece. I worry that when I do want the regular with diamonds, the price will be cost prohibitive. (It is now but at least it is within my budget if I save.)
I prefer the one with diamonds but would not pay the price
I replaced my plain Reg JUC with the diamond version lately. To be honest, I actually love the plain one more. The whole design is uninterrupted by any inserted diamonds, especially the more visible nail head area. The design of the plain one to me is more “original” “whole”.. However, diamond, you know, is hard to resist, even with the sacrifice of aesthetics
I ended up getting the regular JUC with diamonds and don’t regret it one bit. Love it so much and wear it almost daily.
None of the luxury brands are "worth it." It is not an investment as they are all heavily overpriced for what they are. That being said, I have two Cartier bracelets 
. I do not have a regular JUC as it is too big on my wrist, but if I were to get one it would be without diamonds and a small JUC with the diamonds. I would prefer the original one (size, plain) to stay original (no diamonds).
