Every year I have to fight my Wife to get ideas from her as to what she wants for Christmas but surprisingly she handed me a Macy's catalog and said : "here you can get me this" OK.........I'll do and that's one less thing I have to worry about! Take in mind that my Wife has more watches then I do including a Cartier, Movado and the like but she somehow really likes the Glitzy off brand ones so today when the store opens I'll fight the crowds and hopefully they will still have one (thinking ahead maybe calling them first would be a good idea so I dont waste my time and gas)  |

Check the price, and just order it online...WAY better than fighting the crowds IMO.

It's $10.00 more on-line because I have to pay shipping but if it avoids the crowds...........I'm in! thunbsup.gif Gotta cal em in a few to make sure they have it! Those damn stores a re famous for lost leaders meaning many times all they have is one or two! |

I have a lady friend who goes nucking futz over Michael Kors watches. I've tried explaining fashion watches to her and it is received about as well as the importance of putting her husband's tools away in the proper place when finished with them.

My wife has two of them. I told here that they have Seiko movements in them (they really do . . . at least the two she owns does) but that didn't seem to impress her. Something about putting the initials of someone you've never met on your watch makes it cool. I don't get it! She'll regret it when MK is no longer in style! |

After seemingly countless hours on the phone with the  of Macy's , NET surfing etc to no avail I decided to call the closest Macy's to me (even tho NO Macy's within 100 miles of me according again to their Web site had one)) for shits/grins and ask if they had one tucked away somewhere. It was 10:05 and the store had just opened and I got in touch with a gal there and told her of my situation. She said she was the only one in that dept. at the moment but would do some searching around for me and would call me back...........yeah sure like they actually care and would bother calling back! Lo and behold I got a call from the gal and she said she had located one for me but it wouldnt be available to be shipped until 12/06 I gave her my C/C info and she sent a receipt to me Via E-mail so now lets see if it actually shows up as promised and on time! I doubt I will win my case but I'm going to sue Macys' when its all over for false advertisement! They should have put in their ad:..............Limited Quantities Available To Stock On Hand which they did not!! The AD came out on Saturday and started on Monday at 10:00 AM but yet at 10:00 am before the store was even open they were out! WTF?? Here is a copy of the AD..................  I grant you its not an expensive watch BUT it's one she liked and wanted! She has more watches then I do but she wears a different one daily. Another point I wanted to make was when I called Macy's they NEVER had the watch in store in the first place. (at least not in the Macy's I ended up going to! |

If everyone sued retailers over "false advertising" the court system would probably suffer serious overload. You might have better results complaining to BBB, especially if Macy's is a member. JMHO.
(If you successfully sue Macy's over false advertising, please let me know so I can initiate one against Costco.)

I guess nowadays anyone can sue anyone for whatever reasons!
My biggest bitch about the watch was the fact that the AD came out on Saturday and was due to start on Monday and when Monday came they had none! Fact is that some stores NEVER even got that watch to be able to sell! They should have put not available at all stores and quantities limited!
Good news however is that I did eventually find one thanks to a Macy's saleslady who went out of her way to help me and it's supposedly on its way now as we speak VIA UPS WE shall see!
Take into mind........ its NOT an expensive watch at all but one that the Wife liked which is all that matters! She already owns Cartier, Movado (which I paid over $800.00 10 years ago and her favorites are Citizen eco drives! She owns her own business of 25+ years, dresses up daily for work and her watches and jewlery are something she is proud of!
One of these days I'll be able to save enough for a nice Rolex for her even tho she can afford to buy it herself if she so desired to!
Gawd dammit........ this hobby is addictive!!

Many ads are for national distribution, and not all stores will have the product in said ads. Also, ads are sometimes created to include products they have one order. If those orders do not arrive when the vendor promises, things can go awry. Talking about suing a store because they do not have your selection in stock, is taking things more than a little too far IMO. All that said, I'm glad you were able to locate the item, and I hope she likes it as much as she thinks she will.

Crappy cell phone pic but you get the idea!  |
