Hi ladies~~I've decided to get a nice watch (instead of Chanel bag) for my birthday this year,

and it'll be my first high-end watch.I LOVE Cartier

, but I'm a bit torn between the Tank and Roadster.... What do you think? Give me your inputs if you have them? (If you could include a price that would be awesome

)!

Thank you so much!!

Can you post pics of the ones you are choosing between since there are style variations for the tank?

Without seeing pics, I like the tank.

^^I found these some pics from

http://www.authenticwatches.com/carolaw61.html

These two I'm currently drooling over...... I like the Tank because its more feminine, but the roadster is more sporty and younger looking

Roadster! The Tank has been around forever and is heavily knocked off.

I LOVE the Roadster!

I'm torn b/t that one and a midsize Rolex..

I personally prefer "chunkier" jewelry, especially watches, so for me the Tank is too delicate looking..and too common, IMO.

Wow that's a hard one ... I have a Tank and love how classic it looks. You look young ... go for the Roadster, it's really cute and hip!

graceful · Jun 8th, 2007, 12:40 PM

I really like the roadster!

misskt · Jun 8th, 2007, 12:43 PM

I'd have to agree, get the roadster!!

Ali-bagpuss · Jun 8th, 2007, 12:45 PM

I love them both but I would have to say the Tank as it seems more classic (isn't that what Gwyneth Paltrow has?)

ame · Jun 8th, 2007, 02:20 PM

Whichever is on the right!

hellobabie · Jun 8th, 2007, 03:27 PM

The Roadster...

, roadster, roadster !!

twin53 · Jun 8th, 2007, 03:46 PM

the tank is a classic. i always buy classics first then buy the more trendy ones later. get whichever you love the most.

crjhht · Jun 8th, 2007, 04:52 PM

I love both and don't think you could go wrong with either. Don't let the fact that the tank is knocked off scare you off. I do, however, prefer the midsize tank. The small just doesn't have the presence that I like.

bb10lue · Jun 8th, 2007, 07:34 PM

Thanks everyone!!! Im starting to like the roadster more.......

I have tiny wrists, just wondering if it will look too big on me.....(oh well, I guess I have to try it to figure that out).

Another vote for roadster
