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?
It looks like it can be available on Cartier US e-boutique now. I signed up for restock notifications and got a restock email about 10 minutes ago. I just checked and it looks to be OOS though..

Unfortunately that’s a website bug. Every time I’ve signed up for the restock I’ve always gotten a restock email afterwards. I tried calling their CS and they confirmed the bug and that watches are allocated only via waitlist at this time.

Looks like it's sending notifications at every :41 after the hour. Sad! I got excited.

Try Mayors/Watches of Switzerland
 
My watch arrived today but it was too big for me. Sigh. Time to restart the hunt for a size 16.
Aww sorry to hear that! Do you have a love bracelet? If so, what size did you get in comparison to your love? I'm a 16 in the love and read that the mini baignoire fits similar to a JUC so I was thinking to get a 15 but an SA I spoke to at the Cartier boutique recommended to get the same size as love..

I don’t have the love but I tried the regular size JUC with diamonds recently and thought I was a size 17. It was a little loose but it didn’t spin around 360 on my wrist. The 17 in the Baignoire spun around and my index finger fit in the gap. So it was definitely too big for me.

After trying it on I’m also thinking of going yellow gold instead of rose gold because I think it would stand out more against my skin.

So I was able to put a deposit down for the yellow gold in size 16 at a Cartier store. It seemed like they received quite a few in recently as I was able to see multiple sizes in different metals but all of them were already presold and awaiting pick up.
 
I think size 16 will fit you better. I love rose gold too, I love this watch so easy to wear, thinking of adding rose gold as well. Sizing wise, I think depends on how Love fits your wrist, if it’s tighter fit then I think watch should be up a size. It’s best to try it although harder to find but I think they are tickling into stores now.

I’m torn. Is it too small on me? I wear 17 love and got 16. I like when the watch looks a bit looser but wondering if the next size up would be too loose and flip around…
It looks perfect on you! I wear love 18 loose fit and 17 little snug fit. I initially I got this watch in size 17. But it was too big as I felt it was going to bang on things since middle (dial) part is heavier, so it would rotate left to right. Since then I got size 16 now it stays in place. That’s just my 2 cents but I think it’s probably not a good idea if this watch is too loose, since it’s not a bangle where equal amount of weight all around, unless it’s too snug and too uncomfortable for you.

I also asked about this issue from my SA, she mentioned reason is; they have those pieces available but unfortunately they are all reserved. But the system recognizes inventory availability but then unable to allocate it, thus giving sort of false availability. I also got fooled too :hugs:
