Does anyone have the one station ecrou bracelet? This one suddenly caught my interest after searching for a new piece to add to wear with my JUC. Any opinions are welcome! I saw the try-on photos on this thread and it looks great!
I saw and tried this in-store (which I hardly see this piece elsewhere) but I prefer the other ecrou. For those who prefer a simpler look then this would be a good piece to own. Btw, I own all three Ecrou, JUC and Clash and find these 3 blends very well with each other. 😊

Sizing questions (apparently I didn’t try on enough last night at the store).

At first the SA took out a size 16. I was wearing my clash14. He didn’t ask what size I wanted anyway. 16 was a little loose but not overly loose. It doesn’t flush perfect with my clash (I didn’t take photo of this stack). whilst a ecrou15 stacks well with the clash.

Interestingly, I have been thinking about the loose fitting of the ecrou16. There’s something about this design that I like the way 16 look on me, than a 15 (and I have always been a snug fit person! And in the past, I usually make sure everything flushes in a stack).

I don’t remember the ecrou16 crosses over my clash, maybe because of how the bolts were sitting. But when my hand is down, the ecrou will rest on my hand while the clash will sit right on top of my bulging wrist bone. They just don’t stay together. And I thought this is the part that adds some interest. I didn’t think of switching places on these 2 bracelets so I’ve no idea how that switched stack would feel like.

So my questions :
Anyone wears two size difference on an ecrou and a clash?
Anyone wears same size on an ecrou and love cuff ?
I wear size 17 for Clash and JUC and size 18 for Ecrou. I prefer a looser fit. My SA recommended to get the same size as Clash and JUC. I ended up exchanging to a size up for comfort. Here's a pic of me wearing both. The outer most ecrou is size 18 and the one after JUC is size 17. The other pic which is digging into my wrist is size 17, it was very uncomfortable.

Thank you! This is useful insight.

I just need to try them again to be sure.

And I have a wish list. This is a piece latest added into the list. It’s so hard for me. Lol.

I know how it feels. My wishlist seems to be getting longer everytime I visit the store. 😅 Ecrou is a very interesting piece, you can fidget with the metal nuts and not a lot of people own it. Do not wait for too long, every year they have a price increase. 😅 Prices seems to be more expensive every single time.

First time trying on the Ecrou in YG while on vacation. I love how it looks stacked with my small love bracelet. Adding this to my wishlist for later this year!

Wearing a size 16 Ecrou and size 17 Love.

Hi all! I’m a man who plans to buy an Ecrou bracelet this weekend, and I would like advice on which color. I don’t wear all my pieces at once, but I have:

Rhodium/white: WG ecrou ring, platinum wedding ring, WG + black diamond ring

Non-rhodium: WG Clash ring, non-rhodium WG Love bracelet (may not wear for a while), various stainless steel watches, two-tone SS/YG watch

There also may be the option of rhodium dipping my WG clash ring to make it all match, or going for a RG or YG to bring it all together. Picture below of rhodium and non-rhodium clash rings at the same time.

I’m attaching a few pictures to show how the rhodium and non-rhodium bracelets look on me. I don’t have pictures of the RG and YG bracelets, but here is a RG ecrou ring and YG bracelet to give you an idea. Thanks for any input!

I’ll give an update here in case anyone later is weighing the same choice.

My Cartier visit was today. The SA had all 4 colors of Ecrou bracelet for me. Even though I expected to pick the non-rhodium WG, it was the first that I counted out because it clashed with my rhodium Ecrou ring. It looked too close in color like it was trying to match but didn’t. Absent that, I preferred the sheen of the rhodium.

As to the others, the RG didn’t look great on my skin, so I was down to the YG and rhodium WG. I decided to think about it over night. WG is the obvious choice because all of my other jewelry (except a 2-tone Rolex) is WG or platinum. But there is something very appealing about branching out and trying something new. I’ll post pictures and welcome any thoughts that others have!
