These watches are BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm having the hardest time deciding on a color. So far, I'm loving 3 of them. Silvertone with Raspberry or Blue Sapphire (but the Green dial with Silvertone is TDF too!)
Or the Goldtone with Mother of pearl dial.

Not really digging any of the Black ones right now. And I'm not sure about Goldtone with any of the color dials. Mother Of Pearl is BEST on Goldtone one. Looks most rich & most designer like. To me, Goldtone with colors look kind of inexpensive. But I've been known to change my mind Lol.

Anyone buying? Which one/s?
If not buying, which one is your favorite?

REALLY GAUDY and TACKY, and the face is TOO BIG. The Diamonique, as always, looks CHEAP.

Yeah, pretty much. Just slap the name on anything and some people will buy it.

It's really a shame how far she has diluted her brand. Years ago she had gorgeous jewelry, but the classic style is a thing of the past.

I feel like a "broken record." QVC has done a good job of brainwashing when it comes to their watches.

( what is the contermporary equivalent? LOL?)

If I were to have a watch, stainless steel is far superior to sterling and is used in watches that cost thousands of dollars. That can be checked out.

The gold clad/vermeil stuff is not the same. In general, Judith's watches of good quality and shouldn't have problems with the plating. They are not the same materials.

You also shouldn't compare these against Bronzo watches made to sell for $100. Remember, QVC wants to sell it all

I am not saying that you can't use sterling on watches. You can, but at least with stainless steel is resistant to tarnishing. Something to think about. Hope you enjoy your watch It's lovely.

I have an Ecclissi sterling watch I bought years and years ago from QVC. The band on it mimics that of a Cartier, although I didn't know that when I bought it. I wore that watch almost daily for a number of years and still wear it several times a week. The only part of that watch that has shown any sign of tarnish at all is the clasp. I have never taken a polishing cloth to this watch either.

I also own 2 bronzo watches. One in the white bronzo and one in yellow. I wear the white bronzo a lot. It sort of took over for the Ecclissi. The yellow bronzo I don't wear as much because I'm not a huge yellow gold fan but I do love that watch as well. It is very similar to the Cartier ballon bleu which I knew when I bought it and that's why I bought it.

Anyhow, knock on wood, I've not had any issues with either bronzo watch either. No finish wearing off, no tarnishing, nothing. They are perfect.

I also own stainless steel watches. Everything has held up equally as well.

I used to buy Ecclissi watches from QVC back in the day and I still buy about 4 sterling ones a year from the Bay at a fraction of the Qs price. So far they have all been pristine, either NIB or barely worn.
