I don’t know who this is, but his comment is a bit ironic given all the nonsense he’s wearing lol.

Cartier Love Bracelet for Men

I 100% want one. The Ring too. Is it superficial if it wasn't a gift given under love pretenses? Kinda like sending yourself flowers on Valentine's day...

"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you supposed to love somebody else!"

I would definitely consider purchasing one for myself as personal self declaration, and not necessarily wait to have it gifted by a SO.

I was thinking about getting a YG JUC, but I LOVE how your WG love bracelet looks. You may have single handedly sold me on it with your pic.

just keep in mind that the wg one loses its shine/luster pretty fast, and i know a lot of people like that about it and that's the main reason they get it, but the yg/rg ones keep their shine

Great quote. I was about to reply back to the other poster saying I know a very good majority who have purchased the bracelets for themselves, both men & women. Very few people nowadays purchase it for their significant other, which I think in those cases makes it even more special.

Dang straight. I’ve learned in life if you wait on someone else to do something you might be waiting the rest of your life! (Example: people who want to travel abroad, but are afraid to go at it alone, etc).

and try telling most girls in their 20s/30s to spend $8000 on a bracelet for you lol. we're all crazy with this hobby on here to the point where that's acceptable because people are buying watches worth multiple times more than that

Famous tv/car guy. He definitely wears real ones as I saw him in the Cartier boutique here in Dallas purchasing a few others.

Absolutely. Your magnificent wife is right. (greetings to her) Bracelets and especially diamonds are for the ladies. Period. Haha! (a bit humour here of course)
Watch, wedding ring, (if married of course) maybe signet ring, and stylish necklace or chain with pendant (but not rap artist's style) are enough for men in my opinion.

Nice! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

I’ve never heard of this company, but took a look at their website to see their offerings. It seems their rings/entire Cartier collection is only a couple hundred off retail price, but once you factor in potential sales tax and shipping it makes sense to just buy at the Cartier boutique. Did you score a significant savings in your case?

I got the Platinum band. Was like $2000 after tax and retail is $3800.

This is a legit store. They have a location in the posh shopping area in SOHO in Manhattan. Near David Yurman and William Henry. Around the corner from where the grand Seiko boutique used to be.

Oh yeah, you could definitely hear the bracelets smacking against each other lol. I don’t watch any of his shows, but my limited interaction with him he seemed to be a decent guy.

Yes there's one in the Shops at The Forum... I had an awkward convo with a SA who pretty much told me my LV Sandals were fake. Until I showed him the receipt .... couldn't let that go without a retort.... replied with a "hope you're not in charge of authentication?"

Ah, gotcha, that makes sense now. I didn’t look at the platinum. I didn’t know Cartier offered the ring in platinum since they don’t on the bracelets.

Sounds like their location in NY has better ratings than the one here in Dallas (2.9 out of 5).

Yeah I wish they made a platinum bracelet but it bet it would flex too much. If Cartier made a decent white gold alloy that doesn't need annual rhodium plating I'd be all over it. Rolex must share their secrets. Regardless though, white gold is essentially always more yellow than platinum. And platinum looks like Sterling silver to most

2.9/5 not good. Is it because people are upset at trade-in value?
