Hi,
I figure since a whole bunch more will be coming out in October online (Michele) I'll just wait and either buy a different one then (that hasnt be tinkered with) in October or try to catch it at the outlets later. I expect it will be hitting the outlets shortly since it's already has been out for a year. I can save 1k. I'm sure they could fix it just fine but I figure Oct is not that far away.

I felt mixed about $2,200 anyway. $1k, no guilt (well, less...). :) Now I am shopping to makeup for the tramatic loss..... see how this works? Lol!

I'm going to try to go. If you don't have the information, here are some very poor photos of the card the sales girl gave me a few weeks ago.
PM me if you are going to be there.

Hopefully more is coming. The prices at Watchstation are definitely not as good as they used to be though, and Michele prices keep going up. Since they take the discounts off of list price now, price increases matter.
If anybody sees any full size urbans (the big ones)- let me know.. TIA!

Forgot to mention that this recent is at the Watch Station in National Harbor Ranger Outlets. 6-9 pm. I always get 20% off from Nordies and a local Jewelry store on very current merchandise. The watch which gave a cinnamonstick such a problem, cost me $400[emoji16] because I had lots of Nordstrom Notes. And, that included the two-tone bracelet I had to buy. Big lucky deal for beeble.

Holy crapo Balto!! $400? So amazing! Wow!

When I called Michele I asked if the Cocoa would be considered refurbished and end up at a discount place (WF, Fossil etc). He said no bc it would not be considered refurbished taking the little specks on the underside of the glass. It's just sitting on it it's not like it's tough for engraved. I tried to tap it off. I didnt want to screw up the watch so I left it alone. I called back the next day and asked a new CS rep. She said the same thing. It will be posted full price on Micjelle.com. I could ask them to return it to me once the MOP flake is off, but again, it's only 2 months till October. If I feel the same way, I'll just purchase a whole different one in October online. Or better, wait till spring. I bet they show up at the outlets.....

Interesting, did you ask how they determine refurbished? When I asked a few months ago I was told when a customer returns an item that is defective to Michele they do a complete check and then send it to the authorized outlets that sell Michele. I see refurbished items at my Watch Station all the time and they are full price decos (size 18) and sereins that are selling full price at Nordstrom, bloomies etc. I honestly believe that is true, that is the refurbishment process for most items, maybe your item is different, but I don't see why. No way a consumer should pay full price for a item that had a defect even if fixed by the company, honestly that doesn't sit well with me if Michele is doing that.

cinnamon, what is WF? Still thinking about going to WS tonight. It's about an hour's drive to DC. I will probably go, but will not get anything unless it is just something I cannot live without. Thinking it has already been 40% off Michele.com so, there is that to consider. Also the salestax. Thinking about it. Oh well. LEt you know if it was worth it. LOL!!

Sorry I wanted to be able to update all of you in case you wanted to go and I was driving. I live an hour and a half away but took the drive today. It was absolutely crazy I couldn't stay for the special show but I was able to buy a grey mosaic as posted here last week . Balto? I need to flip back to see who had it....sale tonight 50% off plus 25% and a free band w any head.

Here r some pics from before the show. For sale or whatever it is. The special thing tonight. I tried to pry and see if anybody could tell me what they had, but they were p2016-08-18 18.19.19.jpg 2016-08-18 18.18.47.jpg 2016-08-18 18.18.27.jpg retty conservative about sharing information. Understandably. I will say they were the nicest people I probably have ever encountered in my whole life shopping and I am a shopper! That store is amazing too bad it is so far away. (WS National Harb). I never met such kind people! So patient!

Sorry. At a restaurant with my daughter's trying to get this stuff loaded and be respectful of family time. I thought they had a nice selection I'll be curious to know what they had at the show! I wish I could have stayed but I honestly just went there for the gray Mosaic and to look at a purple Serein but didn't like it in person (Serein).

Good luck to anyone who goes! I'm afraid to look at what was there after 6pm!

We are in the car now on our way to National Harbor. Probably a Fool's errand. Happy for you getting the Grey mosaic. I have that watch also. I also live an hour and a half away. We live in Baltimore. Just hitting the Beltway now. I will let you know what we find.
