What do you think of the Ripka TSV? I'm not a big color person, but think the face is pretty. I like the heart accents in the corners. I'm surprised by the price though. $200 for a stainless watch, not even a stainless band too? That seems like a bit much. thoughts?

I agree 100%. It is very pretty, but $200 for mother of pearl, stainless steel, and faux diamonds? Not for me. It's a shame, though, because it is a good looking watch. I hope those who get it do enjoy it, but I am gonna pass. My DH will be relieved!

To be honest? I think it's very unattractive. Band looks like plastic and the face looks horrible. I think the watch is too busy looking. I can't wait to read the reviews of how many stones will fall out. Her quality isn't the best these days.

I agree with BlingQueen022, but then for me, simpler is better.

It is a fun different watch but way over priced for what it is.

Wow, you went totally against what you posted on the jewelry board. I'm not surprised.

pretty, pretty watch...but way too expensive. The Q has similar watches for less. If you really love it and want to wear just 1 or 2 watches, go for it, but for watch collectors, who switch off frequently, it is just too much. I have stopped ordering watches, I have so many and the batteries are seas on 3/4 of them. Batteries are expensive! I'm going to get a battery for my Seiko graduation from nursing school watch, 23 years old, still in perfect condition, just needs a new batter. I think It cost about $100...plus I have about 4 SS watches from Ecclesi with dead batteries...then a bunch of fashion watches. Personally, I recommend Gossip or Joan Rivers watches...great prices, super cute
