I am an intermittent Apple fanboy but this homo watch is strictly for chumps. You might as well throw some hundred dollar bills into the camp fire

No, you are not. You are a repetitive liar. No one can trust anything you say on any subject.

Thank you for your supporting opinion. Your ring sounds beautiful, and the rose gold Apple watch with it would be stunning. I will continue with my humble ladies gold seiko dress watch. Which I have enjoyed for years. It is different as it has a black (is that racists?) face. I love black face watches as I love black hulled boats. Don't ask me why.

yes the cost factor I came up with pretty much matches your figures. Even so, the watch is still beautiful.

if you should purchase one, good for you, enjoy it and wear it in good health.

Just went to the Apple site and viewed again, the rose gold watch with the pinkish grey band. Beautiful.

I thought you might like to see my ring and the mate to it I had made for my girlfriend, a six carat black diamond with 28 champagne diamonds in yellow gold. I designed both rings.

You can see the rose gold Stührling watch in the top photo although it's not in the focal plane of the photo. The other rings are ones I also usually wear. On the right hand is a 3.25 carat diamond princess cut surrounded by 20, 1 carat t.w., diamonds in 14K yellow and white gold. That one was a gift from my girlfriend for my birthday last year. Next to it is a 14k yellow gold nugget pinky ring with a 3 carat natural star ruby which I lucked into last year when a jeweler going out of business found it in a locked drawer in his safe where it had been languishing since 1960 and he sold it to me for the price tag it had in that 1960! Next to the black diamond ring is a yellow gold with 23, 1 caret t.w., pavé set diamonds.



Swordmaker's ring, "Thor's Anvil"
15 1/2 carat Black Diamond, 14 K rose gold,
removable black Tungsten Carbide inner ring.


Kathy's ring, "The Black Valkyrie"
6.1 carat Black Diamond, ~1.5 carats T.W.
Champagne Diamonds, 14 K yellow gold.

I supplied the stones and the designs and the fabrication was done by AK Jewelers in Sacramento, CA. Photography by AK Jewelry. . . you'll find both rings at the head of their 2012 FaceBook "Inspired Creations" Photo Album. . . grin.

My girlfriend loves jewelry and has been collecting jewelry and art for about thirty years. We both love Art Deco design and the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. She loves Erté, (Romain de Tirtoff) the Art Deco artist and costume designer for the Folies Bergére and Ziegfeld's Follies, and has some of his bronze artwork and matching signed jewelry. One of his works, she has the Seriograph, the bronze sculpture, and the gold and diamond pendant. (I got her the pendant.) LOL!

Now if they were offering the rose gold Apple Watch with this band for the $17K, I would be lost:


Rose gold Apple Watch with rose gold links bracelet,
given to Karl Lagerfeld, designer for Chanel and Fendi,
estimated price $35,000

But $35K? Too high for my itch to be scratched.

Still demonstrating your sever problems

What do you mean? Server problems? Sewer problems? Is this another apple autocorrect?

With you, I can go with "sewer" but it should read "severe". My apologies.

Rent me your Apple watch so you can make some $$$ off it! Otherwise you will stomp it to pieces.

The rings are stunning. WOW. They make quite a statement. The star ruby find, what fun. Don't you just love it when something beautiful come into your experience, at a price you can afford? I have had that happen to me many times in my life. Beautiful objects are meant to be enjoyed, in my opinion. I am never ashamed to wear my jewelry, and I have some nice pieces, and jewelry never makes a girl look fat. :)

in the interest of disclosure, I use a 20 year old Mac every day, along with the stuff I *have* to use at work, but BTW, I have no interest in owning a so-called smart phone (possibly in the same way I used to have no interest in owning a cell phone), and the Apple Watch appears to me to be a solution in search of a problem, appealing to the Koolaid drinkers. The incoherent, inchoate animus directed to Apple -- allegedly for reasons that apply at least as strongly to all other brands -- remains both distasteful and a puzzle. big glass of reality: Samsung circling the drain: haters gonna hate: this was the most intriguing announcment in the recent big reveal from Apple (when I work, I work in health care): and here's some good news for all you LINOs (Libertarians in Name Only) out there: and bravo!
