Rose gold watch?

35 replies

SleepMoon · 09/12/2017 21:48

Do any of you have a rose gold watch? I've been looking at the Michael kors one but it is pricey and I prefer small and elegant. I do need something waterproof and MK fits the bill that way. Any ideas?

Olivia burton?

I had one of the Michael Kors ones and it was rubbish quality for the price - and surprisingly heavy. One of the pins broke in the strap after only about 6 months of light wear, so I ditched it.

I've got one from Olivia Burton now which was more reasonable - rose gold face and navy leather strap which I love.

Secret sales have some MK rose gold watches starting at £129

Gucci watches are much nicer than Micheal Kors and not that much more expensive. Good quality and they do rose gold

Sorry I missed the waterproof bit. It's only splash
Roof I think

Not sure about waterproof but fossil and skateboard both do lovey rose gold watches.

Skagen not skateboard Grin

Daniel Wellington, or have a look in TK Maxx - lots of nice watches in my local store for Christmas.

I absolutely love my beautiful Olivia Burton which was a gift, not sure whether it's waterproof though?

I have this one, I love it: www.nixon.com/uk/en/small-time-teller/A399.html?dwvar_A399_color=2062#start=1

Great suggestions thanks. I think I need to go into store to see them first. Any idea which highstore shop stocks the most brands? I want to see skagen, MK and Olivia Burton

@Lucked thanks for the heads up on secretsales. It is at a very good price on there!

Just a warning about the skagen one - I have it and the chain links bend very easily, I sat on it and it’s bent already

Also has gone dirty very quickly and the colour faded somewhat

@ShirleyPhallus thanks for letting me know. The MK mini one has a 2 year warranty so feels like a safer bet?

I’ve got a lovely Marc Jacobs’s one that’s a perfect size for my tiny wrists

PNGirl · 10/12/2017 00:29

Fossil make the watches for MK, Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY and many other fashion watch brands. A MK watch is basically the same style with another £100 whacked on it. When I bought my Fossil Cecile it was identical to a MK Bradshaw and the rose gold wore off in 6 months so it's just gold now. Take from that what you will!

I had a Michael kors rose gold one. It was gorgeous, I loved it, I got so many compliments on it, even from strangers on the street. However, like a previous poster, one of the pins fell out after a few months and also the rose gold plating started to wear off after about twelve months. It cost over £200 so expected it to be of better quality. I've got another mk one now in stainless silver, two years in and it's doing fine. The Olivia burton rose gold watches are stunning. Two friends have them and love them.

We bought my dd a Fossil rose gold watch. It’s lovely

To those of you whose Michael kors watch ran colpur or broke, was it not eligible under warranty for a replacement?

I’ve had my mini Bradshaw from MK for a couple of years now and it’s doing fine. People admire it often (even men).

theredjellybean · 10/12/2017 10:02

olivia burton...very pretty watches, lots in rose gold, and different sizes, my petite dd had one last year for chirstmas in the smallest face size and it looks perfect on her
