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/fake. Anyone else think so? But I've been known to change my mind Lol.

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

I no longer wear a watch. And the price seems so high.

@iTalia I know what you mean so many of the watches are beautiful. When you say 'mother of pearl dial' I know you mean the white, but all the watches have a mother of face dial. I do like the white but I already own a JR gold chronograph watch with a white mother of pearl face and it still looks like new. My favorite color is green so if I were to buy one, it would be the gold with the green mother of pearl.

I think the reason you feel the colors with the gold look inexpensive is due to how they tend to look flat on screen with no iridescence. Antonella pointed this out. At times you can get a flash of the luster and I'm sure it will look better in person.

I think the price is great but I wish it had a better movement like my chronograph that has a Swiss parts movement. However, this one has so many details as well as the sapphire crystal, which increase the price. I also like the silver options that you mentioned. I think this is a watch where having more than one makes sense since they look so different. I'm also not feeling any of the black options.

@bonnielu I rarely have a need to wear a watch either. This one is way too busy for my liking. Wouldn't buy it anyway (1) because no way would I be lining JR's pockets with my hard earned fixed income money, (2) IMO this one is way unattractive.

I also thought they were very "busy" and didn't care much for any of the color combinations. For those who love it...enjoy!

Hello All, I love the watches! I purchased the gold and silver with white face. I have the verona initial bracelet in silver and just purchased the gold clad bracelet. I love the look of the bracelet with the watch.

I have to agree--these look gaudy to me. Way too much going on, and if Antonella says they "sparkle" even more in person...no way are these for me.

I love Judith and have many well-loved pieces from many years ago, but the "new" JR company misses the mark more than it hits it. I rarely find anything anymore, but I'm still looking for a new piece!

EDIT: I just ordered J295830 Stud Earrings in Blue Topaz. Great price!
