Hi, my Messika is a Small, and I can't find the size of the Dinh Van but I think it was a 16. I would have preferred a 15 but the 16 works.

I've been stalking the JR Dunn site for awhile waiting for another discount code to use on Messika. Have they not had one out in awhile?
Thank you
Thank you
I had it but exchanged for a Move chain bracelet.
This bangle felt quite flimsy to me but it wasn’t too bad, just a dainty piece so do be careful.
The problem for me was the closure system. It’s not perfect and to me it felt like with frequent use over the years it would just smooth out to the point of not ‘catching’ properly leaving the bangle unsecured.
It is a nice bangle don’t get me wrong, just not for me to wear daily without proper care.

What was the problem with the closure? I’m considering this bangle in white gold!
The closure works by sliding one end into the other then there’s a catch and clicks into place.
It wasn’t very problematic when I got the bangle but I had two worries. First, bangle was too flimsy I wanted to wear it all the time maybe even leave it on but felt like the bangle was too delicate. That is not a criticism of the piece as such, just unsuitable for my lifestyle. Second, I had a feeling that with frequent use - taking the bangle on/off - the closure would become smoothed out, less rigid and potentially causing problems with clicking into place.
I was assured by customer service that that was not the case however decided that to exchange anyway.

Is the bangle comparable to the small Cartier Juste Un Clou or flimsier than that? More like the Tiffany T wire bracelet? I would think even though it’s flexible it would keep its shape since the locking mechanism keeps it as an oval.
Don’t know about small JUC, I’d say kind of like Tbangle but Messika is a different design. It’s just not something solid enough to be handled without due care.
I've never owned one but tried one on so I don't know if this helps at all!
They seem to come in two different widths (for the bangle part). The thinner one is roughly the same width as the Dinh Van Serrure we both have. Approx 1.5mm. I haven't tried the thicker one however. As it closes I would imagine it's similar to the Dinh Van with regards fragility (which I haven't found fragile personally as it closes securely). I don't know if the tiny latch would wear eventually though if taking it on and off constantly.
