Rockerchic here!

Hi there,
I'm a doctor, wife, and Mom of two from the US. I love all things luxurious and my big passion has been with luxury handbags (Hermes, Chanel, Bottega Venata) but I also love diamonds and watches. ;)
I found this site while researching my next Rolex (just have a fancy Chopard right now and my rugged misize YM). I've been mostly on handbag forums which are primarily women. Seems like this forum is primarily men. One thing that I have been surprised about is that there is as much drama on this predominantly men's forum as there is on the primarily women's forums that I'm used to. Behave boys!
Thanks for all the helpful info already.

Am in the market for a midsize yg president now but am doing a lot of looking for a nice preowned to get it closer to my price range...Holy cow, this addiction is more expensive than my handbag one!

Welcome
I just bought an LV Demier Graphite belt of e-scam and I think the seller is doing a shifty on me.

After the auction the seller asked me to pay the payment for the item into a different paypal account and mark it as 'a gift'. This got me worried and I didn't do that as I would lose all my buyer protection rights on ebay.

I think the photos of the belt on the auction were real, but the seller wanted $45 for shipping and sent according to the lodgement number (a letter) USPS International Mail. Which if it was the the belt would have cost only $10 in shipping.....

PayPal dispute and claim here we go

Welcome aboard Rockerchic. Nice YM and I'm sure those are really nice bags (kind of clueless on those things). Enjoy this wonderful forum, drama and all.

Hi John!!

Schroder, I love that you also appreciate a good bag!....I thought the midsize ym was largest I should go...do you really think I could pull the men's size DJ off? I should give one a try.

Get a daytona, they look awesome on women! I saw an Asian woman while walking in the city center of Perth wearing one and the watch looked awesome on her! Try it and I bet you will buy it !

Thank you so much, all, for your warm welcome. I'll try your suggestions on trying a men's watch also and will keep you posted on how it goes....I've been reading since putting my girls to be and have learned so much already!
