Back to the popular Lineage watch, Debenhams shoppers have given the timepiece a 4.3 star rating. While many shoppers praised the accessory for its price and design, a few did note that they needed to get the bracelet resized once it had arrived. A satisfied shopper said: "Lovely item and a great price. Looks fab on and even though the wrist strap is slightly big I'm leaving it as I like it loose like a bracelet." Someone else noted: "Stunning watch, needed a few links of, but is so comfortable to wear and is beautiful, can't get over the price." Several customers mentioned needing adjustments for the watch to fit properly. One buyer said: "The strap is a little big for me but a jeweller could adjust this. Really like this watch." Another common point raised was regarding delivery times: "I am the proud owner of a beautiful watch which (eventually) arrived in a lovely presentation box. It also came with its authentication card. It has a look of luxury. I gave four stars, purely because it took longer than I expected to arrive but Customer Service kept me well updated. Thank you." Yet someone else added: "Very pleased with my watch it looks stunning. Best looking watch I've ever had." And another shopper shared their partner's approval: "My wife likes this watch. No numbers just crystals which she likes, and is nice to look at. Looks like a very expensive watch."

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV sells California home after cross-country NFL moves
Ernest Jones IV (via Getty Images) Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV has sold his California residence for $1.77 million after a whirlwind year of NFL trades and relocations. The former Los Angeles Rams player, who had a stint with the Tennessee Titans before reaching the Seattle city limits, sold the Chatsworth estate just months after purchasing it. This sale is a turning point in Ernest Jones's effort to acclimate to his new life and team, as he values stability for his young family. Ernest Jones IV misses out on $1.9M Los Angeles home after relocation to Seattle Seahawks After a wild whirlwind of trades during 2024, Ernest Jones IV is officially departing California. The linebacker, newly signed with the Seattle Seahawks, sold his Chatsworth, Los Angeles, luxury residence for $1.77 million on May 19—a financial retreat from the $1.9 million that he and his wife, Tyra Jones, purchased it for mere months prior. Ernest Jones purchased the 3,954-square-foot residence with dreams of settling down while he was staying put with the Los Angeles Rams, but that did not happen. One month later, the NFL player was traded to the Tennessee Titans, and soon he was off to Seattle for the next adventure of his life. 'We had an outstanding experience working with Rod, Laura, and Renecia," he said. 'They sold our home in eight days for the full asking price, and from start to finish, their service was exceptional. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo They are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive and made sure we were thoroughly updated at every stage of the process. We always felt informed and supported, and their expertise made a potentially stressful experience smooth and efficient. ' Inside the two-level home, there are five bedrooms and six bathrooms. With luxurious amenities such as a resort-style pool, three-car garage, mountain views, open floor plan with gourmet kitchen, formal dining, expansive game room, and opulent primary suite with soaking tub and glass shower. The home was represented for sale by celebrity real estate agents Rod, Laura, and Renecia Watson, who, as reported, sold the property in eight days.

After a tumultuous season of trades and roster changes, Ernest Jones IV appears to have found his groove, settling on and off the field in Seattle. Though California home sales were in deficit, the move reflects a more intense commitment to stability—career, family, and beyond—with the Seattle Seahawks.

EXCLUSIVE Ex-jewellery tycoon Gerald Ratner plotting bid to buy back old firm despite calling its products 'total c**p'
Gerald Ratner is plotting a dramatic comeback at the jewellery business he quit after calling one of its products 'total c**p'. Mr Ratner, 75, is in talks to buy back the H Samuel and Ernest Jones brands he ran till he stepped down three decades ago after his much-publicised putdown. The brands have flagged under American owner Signet, opening a door for a remarkable return for Mr Ratner to the top of the industry after one of the most notorious faux pas in corporate history. He built his family business Ratner Group into an empire of bling in the 1980s. At its peak, Ratners was the UK's largest jewellery chain with 2,500 stores, including 1,000 in the US, and a turnover of nearly £200 million a year. But Mr Ratner's humour became his undoing in April 1991 when he told a conference of the Institute of Directors at the Albert Hall that a product was 'total c**p'. 'We do cut-glass sherry decanters complete with six glasses on a silver-plated tray that your butler can serve you drinks on, all for £4.95,' he said, gearing up for his punchline. 'People say, "How can you sell this for such a low price?". I say, "Because it's total crap". 'An M&S prawn sandwich would last longer than most of the earrings the company sold,' he added. Mr Ratner later apologised, saying newspapers misinterpreted his speech. But the fallout led to a plunge in sales and £500 million being wiped off the value of the business almost overnight. Mr Ratner said he slid into depression and was unable to get out of bed for years. The episode achieved legendary status among businesspeople, with 'doing a Ratner' referring to executive gaffes. He recovered after taking up cycling and returned to the business world in 1996 when he started a health club which he sold for £4million in 2001. He also built a career on the after-dinner speaking circuit, charging up to £6,000 a gig. Mr Ratner, backed by investors including British banks, wants to be chairman if a deal succeeds. A price for the business has yet to be agreed and there is no guarantee a deal will be done, sources added. Signet, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, had a 6.5 per cent drop in revenue for the year to February, while profit slumped to $111million from $622 million the previous year. It did not respond to requests for comment.
