After coming to terms with the fact that a full gold rolex is probably always going to be out of my price range :p
I am now looking into a 2 tone rolex.
I have some questions that are really important to me
Mostly will the stainless steel band turn my arm green and the metal go orange?? This is very important to me as i hate it when this happens as i'm also allergic to this type of jewellery
Also is the gold on a 2 tone watch solid or plated?
Again i am new to this so my questions may seem silly but to me they are very important
Thanks to anyone who posts i need any advice i can get.... clearly :D
Also forgot to add anyone have any idea of their prices? no particular model any recommendations will be considered

may i ask why you're creating so many different threads about this rolex and tiffany ring? maybe just put it all in one thread and create a unique poll for that. but every time i'm reading your threads, it's all about the same thing—rolex or no rolex. tiffany ring or no tiffany ring.

and to answer your question, i have had a stainless steel TAG for 10 years and it has never turned my wrist at all.

i'm sorry but i personally can't see anything the same about aking questions about a ring, and then questions about a watch

1. asking about rings
2. asking which full gold rolex mary-kate has
3. rolex or ring? poll
4. asking whethere stainless steel rolex would turn my arm green or go orange (ive had other "stainless steel" watches do this that others had for years with no problem)

They are all very different questions really, i don't understand how they could be seen as the same
i'm sorry if you feel that way but im only asking for advice
it shouldn't matter if the questions seem the same to you as i feel they are important and you dont have to reply if you feel that way

i didn't know that there was any sort of limit on how many questions i can ask etc
is there a way the threads can be merged together so no one complains as i really am just trying to find out info and im new to all this so i have so many questions which are important im not asking just for no reason. im very serious about the items. i mean it was almost instantly assumed that no one could possibly be purchasing the ring and watch at the same time...which i could genuinely be doing. im not, im choosing between them. i feel it was rude to be assumed that i was having people on though , it actually really offended me that people weren't taking me seriously as i thought this was THE place to come for all jewellery knowledge
im not about to lie and say i can buy them both right now, i cant. but im serious about saving for them both

obviously there isn't a limit, but you're asking the same questions in four different threads four different ways.

it's getting redundant.

and i'm curious about something, you say you're engaged and you want to save for this tiffany e-ring, but why isn't your fiancé saving for this??? isn't this something he's supposed to be worrying about, not you? just curious, not placing any judgment.
 
#8
please tell me how are they the same question really?
one is about choosing between a watch and ring, one is about rings in general, one is about which watch mary-kate has, one is about whether stainless steel will cause a reaction (which is not even relevant to the other watch being full gold)
they are actually very different questions as you couldn't answer all four with one answer they're different topics . i could understand if i'd asked "which watch does mary-kate have", "is this mary-kate's watch" and then again something else about mk watch... that would be asking the same question
maybe as i posted threads at a close time to each other you assumed they are the same ... maybe? as they honestly are not at all the same
the ring and mk watch and stainless watch are not even relevant to each other. the other thread is me asking in a poll which to choose

sorry but you misunderstand i do know what i want and how much it is in terms on commitment , not exact figures
i just don't know the info on the items , or which to buy FIRST. the only reason i ruled out stainless steel was due to above reasons but am only enquiring no harm in that
i know how much i can save and how long it will take and that it will happen if i want it to, i understand it's alot of money
i think as you've seen two large purchases being discussed you've assumed too much immediately without fully reading what i'm asking and why
i'm actually enquiring as i'm, as i keep repeating, thinking about saving up over a period of years for these
i think as this is online conversation i've come across way off.
the prioritising the purhases is EXACTLY why i'm asking so many questions. i came here to learn and it feels like as i dont know everything about these items i'm being treated like i'm well... stupid.
i don't think its actually even appropriate for people to be telling me what i should be spending my money on when its not relevant to what i asked. like "house" etc and to address me as "kiddo" ... i'm 21 and a mother i'm hardly a kid. i'm a responsible adult. i guess as i'm 21 i get automatically put into the kid category then?
its really rude to assume i'm not already putting those things in priority
i'm sure i want both. i'm deciding which first as its a big saving
i know which watch i want i was just curious as to other options and i know which rings but was told they were one thing then another which is why i enquired. originally all i wanted to know was watch or ring? i am sorry if i have annoyed you with my questions , it wasn't my intention
if i knew such simple questions would annoy people i really really wouldn't have posted them . i got the impression that like i said this was the place to ask these sort of questions without being judged like that, i was obviously wrong

May I add, also as I said before ... feel free to close my threads if they're really annoying everyone.

You are a kiddo because you are more than a decade younger than myself. Your maturity level has nothing to do with that. The internet is vast, and your responses to our answers lead many of us to believe you are not only not very serious about this stuff, but are young and quite naive about these items and their costs. No one has implied you are stupid.

This is a place you can ask questions like this, however starting 10 individual threads like this, instead of one, or two, and addressing all of your questions into those two threads, is a lot less likely to have people like myself and others questioning your motives or ability to comprehend the prices on such items, especially since you were pretty surprised to learn what we told you in response. Just asking on here is not the only way to get this information on these items.

You're correct that you are not harming anyone, but you have caused several people who want to help you to become exasperated by your round and round. You have asked the same 4 questions many many times in a row and in several places in this section of the forum, and it's as though you do not want the honest response, you want someone to cheer you on in these purchases.

Girl, when I was your age, I didn't even have a thought about gold Rolex watches, Cartier Love Bracelets, Tiffany diamond rings. I was busy trying to work at my first 'real' job, buy a house with my parents help, and wondering how the heck I was going to put furniture in said house!

You have great taste, but these things are by no means easy to obtain. Nobody on this board can tell you if it's better to have a ring, a watch, how much you should spend, etc. Don't get caught up in what the ladies on this forum have, its NOT the norm.

What do your friends and coworkers have? How much do you have to spend? Have you already saved for your wedding?

Nobody is trying to hurt your feelings, just put your questions into perspective. Sure it's possible that someone would be considering all these purchases simultaneously, but even the ladies with lots of Hermes and Chanel bags listed on their signature don't often buy so many big ticket items together.

sorry i don't understand where you got 10 threads from. i think i did 4 and if there are too many i don't mind them being closed.
i think it's you who is assuming this. i am asking for informations and opinions. i never once made out i needed cheering on... that would be a bit weird to expect that from strangers.
i have tried looking online and get a mixture of info and it's not clear to me what the exact answer is. even here i'm getting different answers.
i am serious. i just obviously approached everyone wrong. the only thing i knew nothing about is diamonds all the facts about carat etc which im learning
i wanted to double check mk watch was the one i thought it was.
even if i couldn't afford these, why would it matter?
shouldn't i be allowed to ask just because i'm curious
i even originally always said i will be SAVING up not buying right now
it's not like i lead anyone to believe i was going to buy them together anyday now
