I can't really make up my mind, if I should keep it or not.

I have bought a preowned Cartier Panthere watch in ss and 18 k gold. It is a mens watch, ca 30 mm.

I didn't want a too feminine watch, thats why I wanted a bigger size.
I'm 5,7" so I generally can wear big jewlery and watches.

But now I'm starting to think - is this watch too retro, is there too much yellow gold.

I can't make up my mind. Please help me. I know that in the end this is my decition, but I value your opinions.

(I took the modeling picks with my not so very good mobile)

I like it cause it is different!

2manybags · Jun 23rd, 2009, 11:17 AM

It looks great! A keeper in my opinion.

KMSNYC · Jun 23rd, 2009, 01:21 PM

I honestly think it is gorgeous and would definitely wear it myself!

BUT if there's something you would love more, then you should get that instead! Since it's preowned anyway, can you wear it for a little bit and see if it grows on you?

hey katie, if you don't like it send it my way, lol!! jk! I think it's definitely a keeper, it's nice! I love Cartier!!

I think this size looks great on you. Also the gold in stainless will go with any jewelery you wear. Ofcourse, only keep it if you love it!

starbucksqueen · Jun 23rd, 2009, 07:15 PM

It is a gorgeous watch..... I love a two-tone watch--they are so versatile. Also, 31mm square case is not a huge look, so you should be able to wear for a long time. The design, though a bit different is still classic. However, if there is another one singing out to you.......

It looks great on your wrist. I think you should keep it.

I agree with everyone who posted the panthere looks great on you very versatile! as you can wear white metals, or yellow gold.

OMG!!! KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a classic! I have a Panthere, and I love how it looks! Beautiful piece!

clarissa74 · Jun 24th, 2009, 03:59 AM

A 3 strip version also.... that is the best version to have!

I think you are saying it is the MID-SIZE version.... nothing wrong with that!

KEEP IT.

DisCo · Jun 24th, 2009, 04:25 AM

It's definitely a keeper---it's a Cartier after all! I like that it's two-toned so it'll match both white and yellow gold jewelry.

katie09 · Jun 24th, 2009, 01:15 PM

Thank you all for your opinions. I have thought long and hard, and I have decided to keep it. There isn't any other watch that I really want at the moment.
I think I will start a watch collection in time
If I cut back on handbags I will be able to get more watches :)

chanel-girl · Jun 24th, 2009, 06:24 PM

I Love the Panthere! I don't think they make them anymore and I believe that it is very sought after! I love the two-tone also, so classic! The size looks great on you, I think you made the right choice to keep it!

couturequeen · Jun 24th, 2009, 11:03 PM

If you don't love it, return it and get something that you love! It's a pretty watch, but if it's just going to be collecting dust, it'd be best to put the money toward something you are thrilled about.
