Ladies and gentlemen of TPF, I need to pick your brains. I have a RG Love and decided to stack with a RG + Diamonds JUC. We were traveling abroad and for many reasons (including Global Refund) bought a RG + Diamonds bracelet. Since I didn't even know about this forum, I didn't know that there is a new version of the JUC. I bought a bracelet with the new clasp. I was used to seeing the old one with the hole and hook and i didn't know any better. The problem is that the hinge and the clasp in my bracelet were kind of flimsy. I own several pieces of cartier jewelry and if there is one thing it is not it flimsy. I brought the bracelet to the after sale lab on the 4th floor of the NYC Mansion (5th ave) yesterday. They called me back today saying that I can exchange my bracelet for another one if I want. So I went to try a new clasp JUC with the same result: the clasp doesn't seem very secure and it doesn't "click" enough to give me peace of mind. Additionally the hinge is very loose. With the summer coming I don't want to run the risk that the new clasp comes undone and the bracelet opens and falls off. Bear in mind that I haven't taken the Love off for the past 8 years and I plan on doing the same with my JUC. Now, I have the option of exchanging for the older model (hook and hole) or for another "new clasp" JUC. I should add that I have a very active lifestyle. My husband is suggesting that I opt for the old version since it's more secure. The SA who was a sweetheart even told me that it's more true to the heritage and genius of Aldo Cipullo. so my question is: which would you pick? Does anybody have any experience with both they are willing to share to help a sister in luxe?
Thanks in advance!

For those who own a love and JUC, does anyone wear it above their love? I feel like I always see it Worn closer to the wrist but I am thinking I would like to get one to wear on the other side of my love. My wrist gradually gets quite bigger up my arm and my live only goes up 1.5-2 inches up my arm so afraid the JUC will be too crowded unless I put it above my love

I have a size 17 in the love and size 16 in the JUC and stack the love closer to my hand and the JUC right behind it. Never felt claustrofibic and now that I am not wearing the JUC I feel naked!

As stated in another thread. I opt for the old locking system! Which I have and it is very secure! Gl.

I bought my JUC with diamonds in March and it has the old closure which is very secure. I have no idea how the new closure mechanism looks like but if you feel insecure about it then exchange it for the old closure whilst it's still available.
Do you mind sharing a photo of the new closure as it has been widely discussed and no one has shared any photo yet. Thanks!

This is how I have mine. I used to have it the other way until I noticed the flat head of the nail was making small dents to the side of my love bracelet. I know it will get scratched but it doesn't mean I'll let it scratch viciously. I thought I was crazy but now I know im not the only one with the issue lol.

I went in to exchange my bracelet and was this close to doing just that when I noticed that the new version has 2 diamonds more than the old. The nice SA also showed me another new model that is not defective like mine. It clicks and the hinge is tough as the old version. The result is that they need to get me a new one now.
The saga continues
