Champagne Wishes, Rolex Dreams

From previous posts everyone could tell that I was stoked about getting the Michael Kors "rolex in training" gold on gold watch. After venturing into Macy's and seeing it up close and personal, I felt crushed that it was nothing like the pictures. Online the watch seemed sleek and sophisticated and in person it was just big and awkward... more like a clunker than a classic. Always able to save the day with some good advice, sexyandthechi was able to point me in the direction of Citizen's watches. I combed thru their site & came across 3 new contenders in hopes of making my dreams of having a "baby rolex" a bit closer to coming true.

For some time now I've had dreams of grandeur of acquiring a gold rolex watch. It was timeless, classic and needed to be added to my life asap. My dreams came crashing back to reality when I eyed the price of a pre-owned rolex - - still costing $5k-$15k... well over my watch budget.

While browsing around online I came across a MICHAEL by Michael Kors watch and was thrilled that I could still get the design that I admired so much in the Rolex but at a great price without sacrificing any quality.
