Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to get the Ballon Bleu for so many years already and after seeing so many price increases I finally decided to get one. I've always leaned towards getting the 36mm because larger watches on ladies now seem like a "trend". But then my friends all suggested I get the 33mm instead because I'm quite small and I have a smaller wrist. They said the 36mm would look "stylish" and "cool" but the smaller size (33mm) would look classier. I was still torn between the two until one of my best friends went to HK and told me that he was able to get me 20% off the Cartier watch but I had to act quick. Because everything happened so fast, I got the 33mm.

I received it today and I'm not sure about the size anymore or whether it looked too small on me. I mean it's not small, but it's not big either. I don't know if I am making sense. What do you guys think? Please help. Thanks very much.

The 33 looks perfect on you. The 36 might be too big (personally I like to see a little of my wrist around my watch). I own the 33 and love it and my wrist is 6.5". I find it big enough to satisfy the trend but not so big it will feel outdated when the trend changes
