Should I keep this watch?

[Jennifer.L]

I first saw this watch a few days prior to the Nordstrom early preview anniversary sale. At first, I really liked it but I couldn't buy it since it wasn't available, yet. After a few days, I was questioning whether I should go ahead and make the purchase. Then the day of the sale rolled around and my SA told me to get down there because they had 3 left. Needless to say, I ran to the store and snapped it up. Now, almost 3 weeks later, I'm questioning whether I should keep it; I've only worn it a total of a week I do like it but I don't love it. With purchasing it for the anniversary sale, I saved almost, if not over, $700. I'm thinking if I return it I'll regret it later. If I do regret it then I have to pay full retail, if I can even get it again (I think it's a limited edition).

What are your opinions, ladies?


Sorry for the link. I don't have a bunch of time to resize this photo.

I'm not a big Michele watch person, but I will say that that is one of the neatest one's I've seen. I love where the bracelet attaches to the case. And I really like the unique case shape.
Why don't you love it..is there something specific about it that bothers you?

Not a fan of Michelle watch too! I would rather get something else. How much did you pay for it?

I think it is a very pretty watch.

I really like the shape--very deco. You've already worn it though. Are you asking if you should resell it?

 

[couturequeen]

I do like it but I don't love it.

This is all you need to know - return it.

 

[JOJA]

I love it! I think since you've already worn it you might regret it if you return.

I think it's pretty. But...if YOU don't love it, take it back. There will always be more pretty watches out there, and you might find one that you absolutely love.

Are you feeling like you snapped it up so quickly because there were only 3 left, and it was an awesome deal? Maybe you didn't have enough time to really think it over? I've been a victim of the split-second decision purchase myself a time or two lol.

Could you possibly post a modeling shot for us? It might even help you with your decision, if you saw a pic of it on your arm. It might sound crazy, but sometimes that really helps me!

Good luck with your decision.

If u don't love it, resale it. Not sure if u can return it since it's been worn.

I saw this... I love Michele but I honestly could not justify the price for this watch. I think it was still over 1K and I thought I could get better timepieces for this money. The design is just OK for me.

If you don't love it, don't keep it. That's a lot to hem and haw over and if you're not sure and are wanting justification, you don't love it.

I personally HATE that they encrust all the cases I actually like of theirs with diamonds. I just want a damn stainless steel case!

Nvie- I paid a little over $1100 w/tax

Ahertz & Bluediamond 35- I am able to return it to Nordstrom; they have an incredible return policy. I've asked them before if it would be an issue and they've said no. In their words, "we just want you to be happy."

Ame- See, I'm the exact opposite. I love the diamonds. In fact, that may be why I don't love it. I'm used to all my other watches, Michelle and others, that have a significant amount of diamonds.

NC.Girl- Yes, I think that's what it may be, also. I felt like if I didn't get it I would regret it. Now I have it and I'm still having regrets.
I'm also the type of person that can not like something but as soon as someone else shows interest in it, I have to have it.

I've been looking at it all day, weighing the pros and cons, and I'm still undecided. My FI said that he'll see if he can get the diamond Caber band, on the Michelle website, (it's usually a trunk show piece) and see if that peeks my interest in the watch more. If not, I guess I'll just return it.

Thanks for everyone's opinions. Keep 'em coming.

Jennifer.L with that amount, I would rather get something else. Perhaps Longines, many models are below USD1K. Else, up a bit and go for Omega.

What's your current watch collection?

 

[chanel-girl]

If you don't love it, and can still return it, then I would say return it.

LOL, you sound like me! Maybe the different bracelet/band that your FI is going to try to get for you will help you decide one way or the other. I googled that band, and I think it looks nice with the diamond accents.
