Do you know what watch she is wearing, or have you seen a similar one?

Apologies for DM link.

It's a Cartier one. Think it's called Ballon bleu or something like that.

DisforDoraDDDora · 20/07/2016 14:37

ahh... Cartier. Out of my reach. Any ideas for a similar style? is this a dual tone, I can't quite see, I like the size, not too chunky, not too dainty.

It looks elegant and sporty, which I love.

Crikey never mind the watch - look at that bloody ring!!!

LaConnerie · 20/07/2016 15:02

I don't like the ring - it looks cheap Grin

WhooooAmI24601 · 20/07/2016 15:19

I bought a gold chunky Orla Kiely watch a few months ago and love it. Totally different to a Cartier, so probably no use, but it's beautiful in it's own way!

Raymond Weil make nice looking watches.

Hundreds rather than thousands which Cartier cost.

Cartier own the patent to the unusual crown setting that the ballon blue range have so you won't find a watch with similar crown unless it is counterfeit

The thing is laconnerie, he's a hedge fund manager so makes it look super gorgeous as clearly it's a bona fide ascher cut? on me it would look cheap as there would be an assumption that it was CZ but she can totally pull it off as genuine.

DisforDoraDDDora · 20/07/2016 19:51

RW watches are very nice.

What's the verdict on two-tone styles? Stylish or naff?

also what do you think about
Viviennne Westwood rose gold

Viviennne Westwood silver

I wouldn't buy a Vivienne Westwood watch. It's a fashion brand like Armani etc. You are paying for the name.

A watch from a watch maker will be far superior in quality.

I am currently coveting this 2 tone Burberry watch:

www.thewatchgallery.com/shop/burberry-the-city-steel-and-gold-tone-quartz-ladies-watch-bu9217.html

I really want it as my wedding rings are platinum but these days I wear a lot of gold so think a 2 tone watch might help tie it all together. My engagement ring is an asscher cut diamond too, though just a teeny bit smaller than Pippa's (which I love).

DisforDoraDDDora · 21/07/2016 09:26

Looks like the DM has noticed Pippa's fancy watch Hmm Grin.
The burberry one is pretty Sex. I like dual tone watches as I like yellow gold but my wedding and engagement rings are white gold so could be a nice way to integrate a bit of yellow gold bling.

What other dual tone watches are nice?

Thought the ring was gorgeous. She is looking good at the moment. Must have a new stylist!

Thought the watch a little vulgar. Only dress watches should have diamonds.

JohnCheese · 22/07/2016 19:31

Love the white dress in the link. Anyone know where it's from?

Meh to the ring. Grin

billybigballs · 22/07/2016 19:37

I read somewhere the dress is whistles.

Love the watch, not hugely keen on the ring. I don't like the metal bit in between the two layers if you know what I mean. It doesn't look very sparkly? Maybe I need to see it in the flesh.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/07/2016 19:40

Don't like the watch.

Piscivorus · 22/07/2016 19:46

Rotary make some nice two tone watches although I am clearly common as I wear mine all the time but it has diamonds on it Hmm

JohnCheese · 22/07/2016 19:55

Thanks billy. V pretty dress.

Gasp at crass everyday diamond watch wearing Pisci. Grin

JohnCheese · 22/07/2016 21:54

Thanks cheeseandmarmite, but I was wondering about the white dress.

Heatherjayne1972 · 22/07/2016 21:57

That ring cost £200,000!

bakeoffcake · 22/07/2016 22:05

I don't think the ring did cost £200000. It's what the DM say it's worth, so it's probably about 50000. A bargain Grin

cheeseandmarmite15 · 22/07/2016 22:16

The lk Bennet karo dress?

I was going to buy it but I don't like the viscose lining.

Is that the dress you mean?

JohnCheese · 22/07/2016 23:22

No, not the Karo dress. The white one. Broiderie or laser cut white one.

cheeseandmarmite15 · 22/07/2016 23:43

Ah got it!
