I think it is GORGEOUS (altho for some reason did not at first) and wish I bought it with my discount when my store still carried Cartier! I hope you get one!

I have mixed feelings about it...some days I don't like it but other days I do, in general I would get another Cartier instead of the Ballon Blue, for example the Roadster (which I own, and tried the ballon bleu when buying it), but that's just my opinion...if you really like it go for it as I love Cartier watches in general.

I am in love with it so much it's on my wishlist! Looks even more beautiful on the wrist.

i love it! its my favorite cartier watch, on my wish list as well!

I have the medium one --stainless and gold--and I adore it. I get so many compliments when I wear it. I have several other Cartiers (including the pink roadster in this picture), but this is my favorite.

This is the ONLY Cartier style I would consider buying, it's such a clean and nice design !

vancleef fan · Sep 3rd, 2009, 07:53 AM

It's one of my favourite ones, very elegant...

The Cartier Ballon Bleu is one of my favorite watches. I tried one on at the Cartier Store in Bal Harbor, Fl. My dream watch is the medium size face, solid yellow gold with the diamond bezel. I never thought I would want another round face after wearing my Rolex for so many years. I have stayed with tank shapes lately. My first good watch was a classic Cartier Tank with the ivory face and Roman Numerals. The band has been changed to burgundy croc.

After trying on the Ballon Bleu, it's all I can think about. I leave magazine pictures of the watch around the house for my husband to get the hint. I have an anniversary and birthday coming up, and let's not forget Christmas. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Also, one of my daughter's friends, 28years old just got the two-tone Ballon Bleu. She loves it because she feels it goes with more things.

wow!! I love that.

i also love the roman numerals for numbers.

princessrobyn · Sep 8th, 2009, 05:20 PM

I have the two tone ballon bleu and I love it. It is nice casual and dressed up.

TaylorEsq · Sep 8th, 2009, 06:02 PM

It's not one of my favorites but I do like it in all gold. My friend just got it in all steel and it was really overwhelming on her. It's a really big face watch.

anmldr1 · Sep 8th, 2009, 08:22 PM

i love this style! i have the pasha but i think this one is so much nicer...does anyone know about how much the steel and two tone version is?
