What do you all think of this? It's on the main Michele web for $1100 (or so). 40% off. Face only. Ebay $1400 or so (with bracelet). This tells me the Ebay folks are getting it for less.....outlet?

Anybody own or saw in person? Opinions?
Just got back from watch station they have this one at mine,if you want it. I ordered that purple dial serein two,tone, thanks for all your help! I only saw the black csx Mosaic, grey old style mosaic (not the one you were searching for) then a pink one, wasn't that good of options but I did also get a blue croc band.

You mean the quilted mosaic? Is that the one they have? I think its a limited edition which are the ones watchstation gets.

Do they still have the 50% off/additional 20% from retail? That would make the quilted CSX approx $800.

They have that one too....but the ones I was referring to were decos in pink, and grey. The other csx is the black mosaic, yes 50/20.

So, check this out.
http://www.michele.com/en_US/shop/w...nature_deco_diamond_diamond_dial-MWW06P000099 this should go to the diamond deco with bracelet, but it doesn't. Michele's price $1,995.

and then, the same thing
http://www.jomashop.com/michele-watch-mww06p000099.html
35% difference. This site has it all. Aspirational; and lose it, no biggie. And everything in between. I didn't see the eBay watch, but that's a way to discount. This is a classic style and never will go away.

The thing about brick and mortar should be obvious. Unless you are too young too know about good customer service. Who will size the watch when you buy it online? A ceramic watch will shatter without the correct tool...
I don't know. I do know this, however. Nordstrom will always price match a local store for the same piece. Online, not sure, but maybe.
Anyway, it's easy to find a good buy online. You know the place, say, Joma Shop, is reliable. It's sometimes better to just buy the thing at a good, fair price, instead of making yourself crazy over saving a few $$.

I'm done. I learned this from my mother, taught my son, and now imparting the same to you.
Enjoy your shopping, ladies and gentlemen.

beeble.

This is really good advice. Me I am a bargain shopper always have been always will be, I know that buying for more is just leaving money on the table just like accepting the first compensation package for a new job (lol yes I compared the two). I think of it this way, if watch station WILL have the watch in a few months for approximately 63% off retail, I would not be happy purchasing for say 40% off because this is a want and not a need for me personally. I gain a lot of satisfaction in getting a deal and that makes the watch even more special to me!

Buying a watch shouldn't be life-changing like negotiating for the compensation package. No laugh about that. Take the first offer, they will think you are a pushover. I know this for sure, Samantha, you are no pushover.
As long as you get the right job for you with the right compensation. Maybe you can give yourself a want instead of a need.

beeble --> been around that block a few times.

You are wise Balto! I negotiate everything that's where the comparison came from, but you are right to advise not to stress over a purchase to save a few bucks if you "have to have it", me I'm frugal (some laugh when I say that) so negotiating and getting the best price or offer gives me a great deal of satisfaction!

I asked if they had any refurb Michele's and they did not. Here is what they had:

My Watchstation has the exact same inventory as yours. Beautiful watches but if you are already a Michele collector, these are pretty vanilla and look too much like ones I already have. For me to buy a new watch I need something new- either a red one, a black MOP, or a mosaic or some new style/color.

Exactly! Since I had the 30 percent bounce back q I was hoping for something special to catch my eye. I do like the mosaics. But, would need a lighter face to make it easier to read so, I wouldn't have to put on glasses just to see the time.

I did find a very reasonable Burberry watch that is a bday present for my mother to give to me. So, it was worth it to go.
