I think what is mean is coming to a thread where someone is obviously excited and in love with a new purchase and raining on their parade. Yes, I know it is still a free country and all but some things are just plain rude, IMHO.

Sheesh, I hope you enjoy your new watches and wear them in good health!

I know. Thanks. Again, OP enjoy your watches. They are very pretty.

I think these watches are going to be fabulous in person. I hope you enjoy the ones you ordered, Sheesh, and everyone else!

Thank you, JB, I'll let you know when they arrive. I have a very skinny wrist, so I typically have to put the strap on one of the inner holes making the strap stick out like a tail...that is my only concern. With metal bands, I can have my jeweler remove links, but not an option here. The leather straps do look quite malleable, though, which is good.

Thank you, JQ, I appreciate it very much.

thanks for posting, Sheesh! I wasn't going to pick up one until I read your post. So glad to hear they are stunning in person, and I respect your opinion on all things JR. I am excited to get the blue home to wear with all my LBT and blue hematite doublet jewelry. Thanks again!

JUST CURIOUS .....................

To those who just bought the TSV watch ..... what do you plan to do when the stones start falling out? They are just glued down, not prong set.

Donate it to Goodwill. Which is fine if you paid only $39.99 at TJ's for a similar glitter-watch. Not so good if you paid $200 at QVC.

(By the way, I like a little bling now and then, and I think the watch in question is very pretty. It's just way too expensive for stainless and crystals in my opinion. At the usual TJ's price, I might buy and enjoy this watch.......but no way $200.)

Fortunately for all those who ordered this watch, Ms. Ripka has a repair company called Pranda, and they will surely reset any stones that might need replacement.

I honestly thought the watch was very pretty but more like $50-$100 pretty. It was out of my comfort zone but I hope that everybody that was able to snatch it up, enjoys it for years to come.

And...the simulated diamonds (not crystals) ARE prong set---they are NOT glued in....I find it hilarious that people can just make up FACTS to suit their purpose.

Expressing an opinion is one thing. Even providing a reason why you passed on an item is fine, but there is no reason for being unkind. I think those that love it should buy it and wear it with pride.
