I have a serious addiction to Coach Boyfriend Watches; in fact I own 8 of them and that's way too many! So I have resolved not to buy any more and I have stuck to that resolution. But I have been yearning for a smaller, dressier, more feminine watch and I finally gave in to temptation (it was only a matter of time!)
I ordered a rectangular, Madison, 2-tone, woven bracelet watch 14501741 from the Movado outlet store for $121 but when it arrived I was a bit disappointed.
It's a beautiful watch, and if I had ordered it in gold or rosegold with crystal accents, I am sure that I would have been happy with my purchase. But the gold accents on this 2-tone watch were barely visible and it was more of an "plain everyday silver watch" than I had wanted.
I also discovered that my aging eyes have really appreciated the large, clear dials on the boyfriend watches and that although thes tiny dial on this watch was okay -it was a little difficult for me to read. Here are some photos of the watch that I originally bought and exchanged (NMA!)

I love the fact that the Movado outlets will readily do a phone charge and ship the item to you for only $15; but I am not crazy about their refund policy - because they don't have one! All sales are final but you can do an exchange for an item of equal or greater value within 30 days of purchase.
Because I wasn't crazy about my new watch I decided to take a 50 mile drive yesterday to the Movado outlet in Gurnee Mills, IL and exchange it for a new watch; any guesses about what I got?! (Hint - small, dressy, but with an easy to read dial!)
