Nice Mon!


I prefer the DD on president, but not too keen on the baguettes.. Are you picking one up?

We think alike Dino as I'm leaning towards that one as well.

Not to mention with the leftover you could buy a house in the country................the country of Spain.

If you could put the prez bracelet on the second watch, that would be my choice.

Hmmmm... Have you looked at the masterpiece line? Those are interesting, however, for me it's either the traditional 36mm in a Prez or Masterpiece if you want the Liberace effect! I am sure both are stunners in person. Good luck to you MBK!

Hurry to the doctor Mon, you have had jaundice.

Or is it fake watches that lose its gold?

I'd keep the Meteorite, I'm not the biggest fan of baguette diamonds but this one is really beautiful.

Meteorite over Jubilee dial any day. Yes, I can't go that glam myself, but the meteorite is such a fascinating option.

If you're talking about the bracelet in the second picture I believe it's the Pearlmaster bracelet.

No, I was referring to the dial, which is called the Jubilee.

I prefer the dial of the second and the bracelet of the first. Difficult decision.

Of these two, I would select the first option. But if I'm going to dream of watches way out of my league, I would look at this one:

Neither of those two for me.

YG DD with Fluted Bezel, and diamond accents for hour markes for me.
