Dear all,
I am not sure whether I made a huge mistake by passing on an amethyste gator PHW in T3. I was focussing on a black gator which was ever so slightly larger and fit more comfortable and it never occured to me that I could buy both as it was my first... Went back shortly after and gone it was. Since many of you own amethyste, what are the chances to come across another amethyste?
TIA

I see them frequently, so I hope a new one comes your way soon!
 
I finally got one. I’ve wanted a CDC for years, but since the price hikes aren’t as crazy as they are for bags, I prioritized getting a Hermes Garden Party and a Chanel So Black first. Plus I have a medor watch and CDC belt.

Here it is along with some Christians (Louboutins and Lacroix wallpaper) and on top of the mirrored nightstand in my hotel room.

Looking for advice- I am looking to purchase the 5P matte alligator CDC. I don’t have any experience with the CDC style except a few try ons in the store- how is this bracelet when wearing in the summer or hot weather?
 
I had the same concern with daily wear and water on any type of leather bracelets, so I bought the all silver CDC instead of leather with PHW.
For gold tone, I settled with clic H extra wide for daily wear.
I had the all silver CDC for several years, wore it to work very often, ie worn with black suits, rinsed in water...
I love electric blue and rouge myself, but I found the CDC style makes even the plain black box leather version too ‘flashy’ for my office environment.. I guess depends the type of work you do.
Once I got the all silver CDC I wore the leather CDCs less. The silver was just easier to pop on. I owned the black leather CDC over a decade ago as that was the color that came in a large size initially. IMO it looked too flashy like too much of a statement that the colored leathers I eventually got.
