Eyeing few items made in Thailand. Does anyone know are these from JR collection before selling her company? Want to collect older solid pieces. One last question-JR Watches which would you suggest and why? Thank you.

I own three Chrono's in Silver, Rose Gold, and yellow gold. I love them all. I think the Lola as well as the Remington are also cool. I prefer Judith's watches that have the deployment clasp.

I have only been buying since 2008, and haven't bought anything in a long time.

The pieces that I have were all made in Thailand, so the weight issue is not related to where manufactured. Are the recent items still made in Thailand?

I think that most of her collection, old & new, is made in Thailand. There are a few chains that are made in Italy (Verona items), but that is about it, as far as I know.

As far as her watches, IMHO nothing beats her Regent watch. I have it in silvertone and it is beautiful.

@Minnie_SoFlo I also have admired the Regent in sterling. It is a beauty. The only thing that stopped me from purchasing was the diamonique on the band. I was always afraid I would loose stones.

I know what you mean, I am not a big DMQ fan. I bought it on clearance, and I figure, if I loose a stone I can take it to a jeweler or contact the Q. One thing to look out for is if the stones are set straight. I wanted to get a goldtone regent too, and the one that qvc sent me had crooked dmq stones around the face. It was so bad! Needless to say, that got returned asap and I gave up on getting another one.
