Went in for a kermit... Walked out with...

Two watches! Yesterday was my bday and my SA informs be that as a bday gift, she has a kermit for me. I run to the store. While there, I see an awesome Cellini in the case (no shock that they have a Cellini in the case, but I have never seen this version before. It has a nice rose dial and subtle diamonds). I loved it and got both!

(What’s funny is nowadays, usually you buy a Cellini to get a chance to buy a kermit, I got the kermit first and then that is what drew me in to the Cellini— in the end, I got two awesome pieces!)

Not what I was expecting. Figured you were going to say you walked out with a 2 year old brochure.

Double congrats!

Cellini with diamonds bezel looks great with your bracelet.

Is that Cartier bracelet?

Heh, the Clou is getting as much attention as the Kermit.

I notice that you're wearing the Clou nice and snug. Do you find that the bending to get it on and off is doing anything to the shape? There have been complaints that the shape doesn't hold up over time, but other folks seem to have no issue with it.

I think the bracelet is made very well, I wouldn’t worry (and I haven’t noticed any issues!)
