Oh wow! That is beautiful!! Congratulations on your new arm candy [emoji7][emoji7]
Hi All! Happy Holidays, wishing you all grey boxes under your tree!
Vintage question: My Mom is having a big birthday in a few weeks and has always wanted a Retro Coquette. I found one for her with a damaged band but I thought, "it's Michele, I can just get a new 20mm." NOT! The Retro has a CURVED leather band that has since been disco'd. Aargh! Now I have to find old dead stock or a cheap non-working one that I can just buy for the strap. If anyone sees one, please let me know.
Thanks, Dolls!!

Doesn't look like anyone answered so yes, they do sell the universals at WS but only in-store. They took Michele off website
for. Some stupid reason.. Hope that helps!

Oh ok....never seen those, thanks!
Thank you,
I tried to find it in stores but it's sold out. I bought it on EBay. I was posting it here and tagging people that own it so they can verify it is authentic. No one has responded to authentication requests for weeks in the Authenticate This Jewelry thread so I was hoping someone would respond here in case I need to file a claim. I went to the jeweller to have him verify the diamonds are authentic but he was swamped because of the Holiday. It looks great to me but this is my first Michele watch and I am not familiar with the brand.

I can't tell looking at the photo but does the face have faint white swirls? Mine does not really noticeable in a photo but still there.
I don't see any swirls on mine. I'll check again tomorrow in better lighting. Thank you.
I just looked up this watch on the Nordstrom site where the seller supposedly purchased this watch and I see the swirls that you are talking about. Only one seller's watch out of 4 on EBay have the swirls. I'm going to return it. I'm very disappointed but I'd rather avoid a very costly mistake than chance it. Thank you so much for your help!

That's too bad because all the packaging, the marks on the back of the watch, the band, and the thing on the side that you change the time with (I don't know it's name) that you have looks similar to my Michele Deco watch from Nordstrom. Obviously, the face is different since you have the butterfly one. However, I did notice online that there seems to be more than one type of extreme butterfly watch. Maybe you can verify the design with the model number on the back?
Btw, I'm not an authenticator and I only have one Michele watch. But good luck finding out.

Glad I could help! Better safe than sorry!
