Buh Bye Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

As most of you know, if you read this blog, I bought the Michael Kors Rose gold watch, aka MK5128,  while down in St. Thomas in December. After owning it for a month, the rose gold started wearing off of the watch- and I sent it in for repair.

Well, after owning it for another 4 months and the same thing happening again, I decided it was time to get rid of it. I called Michael Kors customer service and explained to the rep my situation and told her all I wanted was a different watch. I mean, I spent $250 on a watch and it was practically falling apart. The rep told me to pick out whatever watch I wanted from the website, up to $260, and that was when I ordered this beauty.

Say hello to my new Michael Kors Oversized Horn Watch, aka MK5217. I wouldn't allow myself to get another watch where the outside coating would rub off- so thats why acrylic was perfect. When I got it in the mail yesterday I was actually surprised at how big it was! The face is huge, but luckily I like that. The links are a little chunkier than expected, but I'm sure I'll get over it. I am really liking the horn color though. It works well with my skin tone and I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of compliments! 

So in the end I'd like to give a big thank you to Michael Kors customer service at the Metro Service Center. I had a watch in my possession for 6 months and they allowed me to swap it out for a different watch. Not too shabby. 

Have you had this problem with your Michael Kors watch??

Uh Oh! Bad Michael Kors Watch!

So I have literally owned this watch for 30 days and look what is happening already...


I paid over $200 for a watch and this is what I get?! The rose gold is already wearing off!! You better bet I was on the phone with the warranty company TODAY aka the day after I realized it. I told the person on the phone that even though the warranty doesn't cover the band, they HAD to do something! She agreed with me saying that this shouldn't start happening so quickly and said that I could send it in for them to replace the band.
I guess I'm happy. But I'm also scared this will just happen again. I'm pretty sure most rose gold watches are just plated-- so I may just have to be more careful.

Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

So as some of you know, I just got back from a cruise to the Caribbean. Aside from the beautiful water and great weather, shopping is something you have to do while there. Well, let me clarify, duty free shopping that is. I have been on the hunt for a rose gold watch recently and I couldn’t decide if I wanted the Fossil version or the Michael Kors version. Fossil’s version would set me back $95 while the Michael Kors version would cost me $250. As soon as we arrived at St. Thomas I hit the streets on the hunt for rose gold. Barely any stores sold the Fossil version, so Michael Kors it was. Most of the stores would only take off 10% but I was hoping to find a better deal. One store promised me 15% but when we arrived they only ended up having the rose gold watch with a white face. Although it was pretty, I much preferred the fully rose gold watch.


Finally on our way back to the boat I strolled into one last store, which had the watch. I tried to get more than 10% off but they wouldn’t budge. As my father and I headed out of the store, they called out and asked, “How will you be paying?” We replied “cash” and so they gave us 15% off!

My final price for this beauty was $212, no tax! Not too shabby! I literally can’t get over how unique this color is and I recommend to everyone that they at least try it on at the store! Don’t yell at me if you end up loving it and walking home with one for yourself!

Tick Tock

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter break! This weather is beautiful! Anyways, this wonderful weather has got me thinking about a fun new watch! I already have a silver, gold and black watch but I've been craving another white watch since my guess white watch has failed me :( My next white watch will either have to be plastic, resin or ceramic, because that whole stainless steel with a white coating thing doesn't work for me! I'm rough on my watches and that white coating eventually peels off! So here are a few watches that I've been eyeing...

I love this paisley dial!


Oh the color!


How fun is a clear watch!?


What do you think?
