it''s about time!

[belle]

i finally made a decision on what to do with the very (very, very very!) generous gift from pricescope.

after round and round of trying to decide what in the heck i wanted, i ended up choosing something from bluenile.
i must say, i am extremely pleased with the service from bn. they always made sure that my questions were answered fully (even if that caused some extra time) and their shipping is unbelievably fast. and it sure was nice having fedex come to me instead of me having to make the trek to the fedex facility. that is what shipping should be like!

overall, i had a really good experience with bluenile and based on this purchase, i would not hesitate to deal with them again.

of course words cannot express how thankful i am for pricescope. i came here a few years ago looking for ...well, ask kaleigh about that!

hehe...... and i found a wealth of information about diamonds and so much more. i found a group of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people around and i have learned so much because of it. i am so honored to be a part of such an amazing group of people. thank you all for your support and friendship over the years and of course, a HUGE thank you to andrey for his generosity. i

you guys!

so....what''s in the box?

 

[belle]

another box!

 

[belle]

two boxes actually

 

[belle]

one box was covered up

 

[belle]

more boxes in boxes

 

[belle]

it''s about time we get through all of those boxes!

 

[belle]

i should have taken the pics without the flash. the incandescent lighting made all of the red look a weird orangey color. i do have a wrist shot later that shows a better view of the real red on the face.

 

[belle]

another box to open....yay!

Belle - Congrats!!! A Tag! Love it. You deserve it! Hey, what is in the other box? You can''t get off that easy missy!

don''t worry! i''m getting there!

thanks...i''m glad you like it!

 

[belle]

i was so excited to share this box (after box after box!) opening with everyone, that i just started snapping pics along the way. i finally realized that i should have taken the flash off and just took natural daylight pics.
the rest of the pics (i think) are without a flash.

 

[belle]

of course, the no flash pics are a bit blurry because the watch was still freeeeezing cold from being in the delivery truck, so when i put it on i was shivering!

 

[belle]

a closer pic on the wrist

 

[belle]

of course, i need to get the ring in there too

Congrats on those terrific watches and your help and support to the rest of us on PS. Here''s to another 10K for you

 

[belle]

and a closer pic in the box...
there are tiny (seriously) diamonds along both sides of the case and the face is mop.
of course, i would have liked more diamond presence but i absolutely LOVE the shape and style of the watch. it is exactly what i was looking for.
