Can anyone who's been lucky enough to get their hands on the bangle comment on how it's supposed to fit? Through some miracle mine arrived already and I’m going in to pick it up in a couple of days, but I’m super super nervous it will be a size too big!! My SA went ahead and ordered my usual JUC size because the sizing is supposed to be the same … but my left wrist is a size down from my right wrist, and I wear the JUC on the right. :shocked: I’m also in the process of losing some weight, and considering that we retain more water in the heat, if it’s even a bit too big now it definitely will be later on when fall and winter arrive and I’m (hopefully) a little slimmer.

I’ve been scouring Instagram for photos and have found some where it fits a bit closer (including one from Cartier’s IG) and others where it’s a lot looser (see below).

I do prefer my watches to have a looser fit generally, and obviously I won’t know anything until I try it on. But I’m so nervous that if this one is too big it will take forever to get the next size down and my SA might be annoyed at me because these are so hard to get! I know I need to calm down and not let my anxiety ruin the high of finally getting my hands on this gorgeous piece. But in the meantime, I would love to know whether y’all wear yours a bit more close-fitting or if you prefer it to be looser!

Congrats on getting one, I think you will love it! It’s even more stunning in person. I wear a 17 love and 16 JUC and I got the Baignoire in a 16. I’d say it fits me tighter than the JUC, perhaps because of the thickness?

Oh this is good to know!! I feel better knowing that it might be a tad snugger. My JUC is a little big on my right wrist but not tremendously so, so I feel a bit more optimistic that this size will work out!!

Wanted to give an update on inventory. Was able to purchase the rose gold size 17 yesterday! My SA was well aware that I wanted the watch. He first texted me in May saying they had the watch, and while en route to the store, texted me again saying that it sold! I was at the mall yesterday and texted him to see if there’s anything worth checking out, and he said there was a baingoire on hold that I could try on. I’m in the store 5 minutes later trying it on, and he tells me that the person holding it passed on it, so I purchased it!

I was curious about if there was a list of people they would contact should someone pass on it, but he made it seem like whoever is there in person with the money to buy it is the person to get it. Luckily it worked out for me! He did say it was the first bangle to come to the store since the first time he had text me, so about two months. The 17 fits my 6.5 inch wrist perfectly with a little bit of looseness. Originally wanted the YG, but everyone agreed that the RG complimented my tan skin better. Btw I am a guy and honestly think it’s a great look for men and women.

I just got mine at size 16 yellow gold in fukuoka shopping mall, I walk in and both yellow gold and rose gold are on display, with the exchange rate and tax refund it’s over 10% off the price in Hong Kong

Seems this style is more readily available now? How are mini baignoire owners liking it?

Also - i wear 17 Love, would 16 be the right size? Thank you!

I think you would like it if you (1) don’t like the snug feeling of the traditional leather band and (2) don’t mind the watch face will move a bit, it’s very comfortable to me becuz of the above reason, I wear size 16 and the small size is comfortable to me

Silly question, but for those who have it, how easy is it for you to read the time?

I do see it as a jewelry piece and I so admire the delicate aesthetic of mini, but can it also be practical?!

I just bought one today from Watches of Switzerland. They had both metals and all sizes showing as available/add to cart on their website yesterday. They were out of stock today but I called their client services and they had one in my preferred metal and size available! It arrives tomorrow.

Those who have the bangle version - how does it wear?
