Sooo...I already have a

Rolex two tone jubilee no diamonds bracelet watch
Rado ceramic watch no diamonds
Chanel J12 33mm white no diamonds
Chopard two tone older watch with round face bracelet...from my mom's collection
Raymond Weil gold and silver watch I got when I was still in HS

Ever since I got my J12 earlier this year, I have been wearing it 80-90% of the time...I just love how chic it looks and how its so durable etc

I was considering getting at least one of the following:

Chanel J12 33mm in BLACK no diamonds
Chopard happy diamonds--but not sure which one...just one of the ones with the colorful icons--diamonds, sapphires, etc inside...and not sure on bracelet or rubber strap, etc
and maybe a Rolex Daytona but I dont know on this yet...maybe the face will be too big on me? (i'm 5'0 and 105lbs...and have a small wrist)

Are there any others you would recommend I consider?

I dont want anything too blingy--thats why I usually shy away from diamonds on my watches with the exception of the Chopard Happy diamonds...

I also prefer bracelet over straps I guess...

I have small wrists so it is difficult for me to find the right watch but i can recomend the Cartier: Ballon Bleu, De Grisogono: Instrumentino...

I'm sorry I can't advise you, as it seems you already have the most beautiful collection and any of the other choices you've listed are icing on the cake! I am sooooooooo envious!

I am also advocating the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos. I think its my dream watch. I would get the Automatique Grande in rose gold!!! That is if money was no object to me. I think the reversos are worth looking at especially if bling isn't that important to you. What I like about Jaeger-LeCoultre is the company manufactures its own movements which makes it a truly exclusive brand in watch collecting.

You already have a beautiful collection and I think a reverso would be something unique among the pieces you already have lol

I also agree the Ballon Blue is beautiful. I personally would love to have a Tank Americain, but even if I had the money, I would hesitate to buy it b/c of it's alligator strap (hmm I wonder if it comes in a bracelet strap...).

Have fun augmenting your collection!

Wow the Cartier Ballon Bleu is actually really nice...I'm also more yellow gold person than white gold and I like round faces more than rectangular (i think) the only rectangular Ive liked so far was the Cartier tank but is it bad to say i find them somewhat common and i wasnt sure i loved it enough???

This is the ballon bleu in pink gold
and i would definitely get small or medium at most because the face may just cover my whole wrist LOL

Wow Cory, the pink gold Cartier is stunning! I want!

calisnoopy · Dec 21st, 2007, 10:06 AM

I know Nathalie!!!

Well, these are just some options I guess--I'll have to go in and try them on and see first... =)

I wonder though if it will show scratches a lot on the cartier ballon bleu cos I was considering either pink gold or yellow gold...since i have 2 tones already and more silver watches...

also would you find it too "bling bling"
LOL

If you already have a J12 , go for something different. Anyway, I think you already have such a great watch collection. I wish one day I'll have great watches like yours :) .

I'm not a fan of Rolex and Chopard so I would suggest a Cartier "Pasha" or "Roadster".

Accessorize*me · Dec 23rd, 2007, 12:59 AM

From the 3 you have listed, I'd pick the Rolex Daytona.

I have small wrists too (5'2 90+lbs), but I feel that Big watches tend to look best on small wrists.
The Cartier Ballon Bleu is very pretty in RG! And since most of your watch bracelets are 2 toned, it will be something different.

I like the hip shape of the Cartier Divan too, it'll be rather different from what you have, "Big" like your J12, and satisfy the need for a 'Black' Watch.

calisnoopy · Jan 18th, 2008, 02:43 PM

SoOOOO i ended up with (and didnt anticipate this at all)

-Cartier Ballon bleu small in rosegold (too bad its not automatic or has the date though)

-Chopard happy beach watch with blue croco strap

-Chanel J12 in black 33mm no diamonds

kinda crazy i knoww!!!

krystl · Jan 18th, 2008, 04:35 PM

Nice choices. I've a small wrist but I love to wear big watches. Totally agree with Accessorize*me - I would have gone for the Rolex Daytona. Nevertheless, I love your final 3 choices as well.
