You're talking about just the band, right? Maybe a couple of months ago I searched high and low for either a Deco 18mm two tone or all gold band. If you're selling online (such as eBay and Poshmark), I think $300 is too high. There are two tone bands out there right now for $200 - $200ish range. I usually base my listing price off of what everyone else is selling the product for.

I really love Michele watches..they look really gorgeous on!!

Just I remember they used to be so much less and now is quite pricey
They really have gone up.....I guess all things do but fell this is a little ridiculous for the item. The people at the stores always say "well look at the diamonds". I'm too smart foe that lol. PayinG some $ for the brand name. Brands always jack up the prices. Supply demand? Folks are still buying them like hotcakes :) Me included (but only outlet or preowned). Feankly, I even feel the outlet is overpriced but way better than full retail that's for sure!



Agree $300 is high for a twotone band..check the outlets....can find them there foe half off plus more if you hit it right

For all of you Michele veterans. I bought a Michele Signature Deco Diamond gold, diamond dial last week and opted for the two tone gold bracelet instead of all gold. I've only worn it twice, today being the second day. Earlier in the day while shopping I felt the watch slip on my wrist and looked down and the clasp had came undone. So I thought maybe it caught on something and was a fluke. However, later in the day two more times it did it again! I'm going to take it back into the store I bought it from tomorrow and tell them about this and ask what can be done. My question to those of you who've had these bracelets, is this a common occurrence? I can't constantly worry that my watch is going to fall off.

Oh no! I would be constantly worried that it was going to fall off. My Deco never comes undone. Hopefully they will replace the watch or just replace the bracelet.

Hopefully they'll replace the bracelet. It was the only two tone gold 18mm they had. If they haven't gotten more in, I'm hoping they'll order a new one. I'm going to stress to them I can't worry about loosing my watch. I don't think they'll give me a hard time since it's a very reputable jewelry store. Thank you for replying.
 
My bracelet on my csx did this yesterday at work then I took it off and put it in my purse pocket so I don't lose it, I get it out and links are out. I got it in June and called Neimans and they are sending me a new one out. If the store doesn't then contact michele and they will help.

Definitely shouldn't be happening - but occasionally does... my personal view is that the bracelets are very finely tuned to allow for the snug fit against the watch cases and design in general- if even one metal joint gets shifted in any way, the bracelet malfunctions (sort of). Another touchy spot is those tiny precision clamps where you connect the watch head. I have never had an issue with the watch head clasp on a bracelet but it looks tightly engineered. I think this is some of the reason the bracelets are so expensive, personally.
Michele will repair or replace bracelets also, most of the time for free so that is another option. You just need to call them.

I did a quick look at your new watch and the 2-tone band with the gold watch face seems like a gorgeous option!! I am a big fan of the two tone mixed with gold, either gold face with two tone bracelet or two tone face with gold bracelet- looks really nice.

Well ladies, I called my Watchstations (northern CA) and absolutely *NO* Michele events out here, at least so far. So please keep me posted if any of your stores are having any events, I know I want to buy a few Michele items for gifts this season, as a minimum.
The stores out here are so BLAH.
Carlsbad, CA (southern part of CA) is a good store.

So they are going to order another two tone bracelet for me. At first they tried to tell me I needed to wait for their watch repair guy to try to "tighten" it and wouldn't be in today though. I said I would feel better in case it's a defect to have a new bracelet because who's to say he could "tighten" the clasp mechanism somehow, but it does it again? They agreed and hopefully will have new bracelet soon. Thank you all for your replies.

And thank you Michelle1x on the compliments of my new beauty. I just couldn't do all gold. It would be great for special occasions, but the two tone can still be dressy or casual which is what I wanted. I've also ordered a green olive colored alligator band to change out with. Hopefully it's pretty true to color as it shows on the Michele and Nordstroms site.
