Michele Watches

Sorry, SLMK, I only slithered in into this sub-forum because of my Michele collection and stumbling into Watch Station in a convention location.

I own timepieces in various flavors, but Michele is a funny animal. They are addictive. Lots of you wait for the DEAL and won't settle for anything less than that. I think that is a great way to live and shop.

I realize that three of my Micheles could have paid for a really fine watch, like a Tag or an Omega or even a starter-Rolex. I've sold my Rolexes because of the price of maintaining them. I wore one constantly for over 10 years. And, according to the jeweler who sold me my first Rolex, nothing keeps time like a Rolex. It doesn't -- it keeps Rolex time, LOL.

I'm out of here, ladies and gents. I do not chastise when a member repeats themselves. I shall not be chastised if I do the same.

Have a nice holiday weekend.

Hi ladies,
This weekend is Nordstrom rack clear the rack, an additional 25% off.
They have a Michele Deco II gold 18mm bracelet - retails for $700 - red tagged to $99, but then you get the additional 25% off so this bracelet is $74.98. An incredible steal if anybody has a Deco II.
I had them run an inventory check for me and there are 3 stores that say they have one bracelet available. Msg me if you want the store list.
I think its this bracelet - http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/...ew_pdpzb&RecProdZonePos=recview-4#fn=spp=4111
 
Wow! I missed something?....All opinions are valued?

The Deco w rhinestones looks terrible. Can't be real?

Good tip.on Nordstrom Rack Michele 1x. Too bad, yet again, a 45 min drive for me to scope the stock. Same w Fossil and double for WS! :( Maybe this is a blessing in disguise.

I will give an update on the FossIL outlet "near" me tomorrow. Maybe mute phone and take some pics. They never have a ton when I go. 15? Not like the Watch Station!

Good to hear about buffing. Too bad. I will ask Fossil, but it seems Fossil is a far cry from watch station Outlet. I only have been to one watch station Outlet in my entire life. It totally crushed the Fossil outlet near me. Crushed. (Did I say crushed!!!?).

I love reading everyone's two cents! It helps me decide on things AND helps me learn about new brands to consider. I am so "Michele locked" that I appreciate hearing about other competitive brands or better brands for slightly more. I enjoy learning and hearing opinions. Plus...I'm getting older. I don't want to be that chick with "Farrah Fawcett" hair that still thinks it is in style. (I think it kinda is actually). Reading posts helps me to learn about a variety of brands. :)

I agree, yes everyones opinions are valued, definitely don't want anyone to feel otherwise. I think everyone comes to hear about the deals that can be had and information about Michele watches . Yes I think I will speak with a manager about the buffing bc I saw a machine, I know I'm there alot so they are probably like :amazed:, but I would love to have my silver non diamond bezel buffed, I would even pay. My fossil outlets only have MK and the such no burberry or Michele. Im tempted to drag my sister to Nordstrom Rack now. I really am liking this new Michele wish it was MOP

Yeppers! Saw that watch, love it (pics only). You actually saw a buffer at the store? Laugh out loud (voice text doesn't know shorthand). Lol! Humm...seems odd. I was thinking maybe it's just to buff items that they want to put out for sale that have slight scratches, but that doesn't make sense....My Fossil has Michelle but I'm not sure on other brands since I'm pretty focused on just the Michele. I made a bunch of phone calls to some fossil Outlets though, and it seems the majority do not carry Michele :sad:. Sigh. It's a tough life! I do know my fossil sizes bracelets for free. I didn't know they did that. Tip was read here. I paid $20 for some local jeweler to size a band last year. I suppose I could have bought a sizer or myself for that price.

BTW....Agree MOP

LMBO I saw some machine I was hoping it was a buffing machine bc one of the ladies on here said they buff. I just didn't want to be too forward and ask, they already are very nice to me and call me sometimes when new stock arrives don't want to push the limit.....Yes that watch is feminine but kind of sporty if that makes sense, I really like that watch, I want to see it in person, I will contact Neimans to see if they have it so I can run over on lunch and see it. Bloomies is having a decent sale as well, maybe not as good as Watch station but its one of the best I have seen from them.

There is very little Michele at the Nordstrom Rack around me so you might want to call them and ask what they have before you drive a long distance (unless you want to see other things besides Michele there). Most of NR Michele is white tag so not eligible for the additional 25% off. My racks have jellies and sometimes a serein - I've never seen a urban mini or urban diamond at my rack- so no really exciting watches.
Today they just happened to have that bracelet- it must have come from the full line store, but it is a specialty item since it is deco II. Still you can't get gold bracelets for under $100 anywhere.

Thanks, you are right. Honestly every time I go they have like 3 and Im dissapointed bc its not close 45 mins. I really don't have much luck outside of watch station, unless we are talking bracelets then department stores are good resources. I will call when they open tomorrow to get them before it gets busy.
 
Balto-yes I stated that in a prior post, I spoke about movement above.

Michele is compared to tag, and movado in many other forums, the more you research these brands the more you know Michele, Movado, and tag are considered mid luxury, although Michele has a Swiss movement vs Swiss made, it does have the high fashion aspect that many women value over being Swiss made.
Yes, this is me!

Does anybody know if the deco II bracelets fit the DECO MODERNE II watches?
http://www.michele.com/webapp/wcs/s...talogId=10051&productId=22115199&identifier2=

Probably not- this is the kind of differentiation on bracelets that makes me mad with michele, assuming they are different. Both deco II and deco II moderne are 18mm, bracelets look pretty much the same and no difference in the way they fit the watch.

No it doesn't. I thought the same bc they look so similiar but we tried it at the store a while back and it didn't line up properly, its like Michele has the openings in different spots depending on the watch, if that makes sense.
 
Fossil outlet today....having a 50% plus 20%.

Please see next post....OT but I HAVE to know!
