You may stumble upon the perfect watch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413335 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 16:15:49 +0000 Astrid 1413335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Texstyle. This is an old thread, so the question isn't relevant right now. I still have a watch similar to these on my wish list for the future, but it's not a puchase I'm thinking about right now. I need to replace too many clothes, so it's not a priority to shop for a watch when I already have one I really like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413314 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 15:39:50 +0000 texstyle 1413314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you are wanting to consider the watch Astrid - you wear one everyday after all and these are all lovely. I have a preference for the #2, I think I like the mix of modern style with more classic numerals. But of course you'd have to try them on and see how they feel in real life. I think this is one of those "important to your style" type purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413228 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 10:59:04 +0000 Rubygirl 1413228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Astrid.. I appreciate your feedback. I will do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413212 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 07:17:13 +0000 Astrid 1413212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rubygirl, that watch looks great! I personally didn't buy a new Skagen watch, but I still like them. They're super comfortable.</p> <p>If you want input for the watch it would be better if you started a new thread instead of resurrecting an old one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413166 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 04:29:56 +0000 Rubygirl 1413166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the one I am lusting after.. I think it is paired with an Ani bracelet.. I love the watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-1413140 Fri, 19 Dec 2014 03:42:43 +0000 Rubygirl 1413140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just discovered this brand of watches and I SOOOOoooo want one</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965757 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:04:49 +0000 Astrid 965757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kristin! I'm going to wait for my trip in any case. I agree that watch shopping has to be done in person, in my experience they often appear quite different IRL. I've seen the first one in person, that's the one that made me want one for myself - I didn't try it on though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965517 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:34:18 +0000 Kristin L 965517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look very nice. I would wait until you go on your trip and look at the watch there. Sometimes I fall in love with something online (or in a magazine) and then I finally go see it in person, I realize that it's not what I was hoping for. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965401 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 06:34:00 +0000 Astrid 965401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks bj1111! I'd have to try them on and see how the size looks on me of course, but I think it would look great.</p> <p>Thanks Sarah! I do like the first two best and the second one has a date which is a bonus. I really got used to looking at the date at my current bigger watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965312 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 02:11:06 +0000 Sarah A 965312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I esp. like the second one! A great watch is so much more long lived than any clothing items is for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965199 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:54:56 +0000 bj1111 965199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This are fantastic. I like the ladylike vibe but the size makes it a bit edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965132 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:44:20 +0000 Astrid 965132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana! The band of the Skagen watches is super thin and easily adjustable, so that's not a problem. Normal leather bands for men's watches are too big for me too, but I found a place to order all kinds of bands in different lengths and widths online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965119 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:27:39 +0000 Diana 965119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them a lot!&nbsp; I don't really worry about watches being dated.&nbsp; I have an old watch with a tiny face and a newer one with a giant face and I still wear both equally (as well as my classic Movado).&nbsp; </p> <p>Can you wear men's watches though?&nbsp; I have never been able to because the bands are always too long for my wrist and they often don't make the wider width bands in a women's length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965073 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:18:34 +0000 Astrid 965073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Parsley! The ones above aren't super big, in fact they are smaller than my current bigger watch (that one is 39mm). So I don't worry about it looking dated. </p> <p>Thanks Inge! I think I will wait and see if we do the trip and decide then. If I manage to stick to SYC in July I might be able to buy myself a present. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-965000 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 18:30:10 +0000 Inge 965000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love two-toned watches, and I love oversized watches (actually think that it's a pretty timeless look for ladies by now)&nbsp;and think this is an excellent idea, Astrid. How's that for enabling you?-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-964986 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 18:14:28 +0000 Parsley 964986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really pretty, and I understand what you mean about a small watch not feeling right anymore.&nbsp;<br />Since I watch is something you wear every single day &nbsp;I think it's reasonable to make it a priority, but only you know your budget. </p> <p>My fear is that now that we've all started to wear oversized watches, tiny ones will come back in style, and the large ones will look dated!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lusting-after-two-tone-watches#post-964914 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:54:07 +0000 Astrid 964914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After seeing a friend wearing a two tone Skagen watch I made the mistake of searching for it online and now I can't stop thinking about one for myself. I guess I'm just bad when it comes to SYC... </p> <p>I already have a small Skagen watch that I wore daily for almost eight years. But it's a classic women's watch (24 mm diameter) and now that I got used to the look of an oversized watch it looks very strange to me when I wear it. The ones pictured below are men's watches, so they are bigger (34 - 36 mm). </p> <p>I don't really need another watch because I have a nice one that I do like to wear, but I have to confess that I sometimes miss my old Skagen watch, I didn't even notice when I was wearing it because it was so slim.</p> <p>Thing is, we will probably visit Helgoland at our upcoming holiday by the seaside and I could get the watch there without paying VAT. I've bought my old Skagen watch there too.</p> <p>What do you think, bad idea overall? </p> </p>
