I need hlp! Hermes or Cartier?
Hi everyone, I've decided to purchse a new watch soon and have come down to choose among these options:
1. Hermes Cape Cod double tour with Natural BARENIA, lady size http://www.tourneau.com/Tourneau/Mai...RM0200016.aspx 2. Cartier Women's Ronde Solo Black Leather Watch http://www.amazon.com/Cartier-Womens...f=pd_rhf_p_t_1 3. Cartier Midsize Tank Solo Stainless Steel Leather Strap Watch http://www.amazon.com/Cartier-Midsiz...5709605&sr=1-2 I fell in love with cape cod first, but thought about having a Cartier since the price is about the same. My concern about two solo watches is their cases are so "flat", no curve to match the wrist shape. What do you think? Thanks in advance. |

I personally like #2 the best. HOWEVER, I think you should try them on. Sometimes certain shapes look better on certain hands. For example, for some reason a round watch doesn't look as nice on me.
Good luck. |

Thank you for the replies. I also lean toward Cartier more, but between the two solo, which one should I get? BTW, I have really small wrists.

My vote is for the Cartier Solo Tank - but go in and try both of them on. Make sure it is comfortable and fits the shape of your wrist and hand.

Another vote for Ronde Solo, have been eyeing that watch but never got myself to buy it.

I vote for watch #3. It has a classic, elegant look about it.

Get #2, definitely. This size is perfect, believe me it is not too small if that is your concern. I have large wrists (almost 7 inches) and this watch looks fantastic. It does conform nicely to the wrist, don't worry about it being flat.
I recently got another watch so I sent this one to a reseller to help pay for the new one, and I think I am regretting letting it go! |

Thank you all for the advises
 , seems like tank and ronde have even votes now.bagshopr: Thank you for letting me know not to worry about the watch being too flat. I actually have tiny wrists (about 5.5 inch), but I guess I just need to go the a store to try on both watches. Right now I like them both, so confused... |
