Hey ladies, I feel as if I am about 5 years late on the ballon bleu bandwagon, but here I am! I have sold my Chanel j12 and purchased the stainless steel ballon bleu in hope for a more classier watch. Please tell me I have done the right thing?
I was so confused with sizing and ended up with the 33mm, I have no idea what to pair it with, maybe a tennis bracelet?

Anyway I have huge buyers remorse with my husband saying 'you are wearing a really nice holiday on your wrist' but I am a sucker for watches.

Is it the right size for me?

Thank you :-)View attachment 3142451

It looks beautiful! I also have a SS BB, I think mine might be one size bigger than yours? It's pretty big, lol. I know that the oversized look isn't as big now, but I love it for me. I've had mine about 4 years, and I still adore it.

Thank you so much ladies! Today, one of my patients was wearing the roadster. I looked at it in envy, it's so beautiful!! Kinda thinking 'did I do the right thing?' Hmmm I hate buyers remorse. I was so much more frivolous and fancy free before marriage!! [emoji23]

Haha, so true! Before marriage and children, I felt I had the world on a string. Now, it's great in a different way, but definitely not footloose and fancy free!😄

I sure hope the buyer's remorse did not linger long, OP! The watch is gorgeous and Absolutely Perfect on your wrist!!!!! I am also very sensitive to watch size but I honestly think the size is just right on you. It also looks really harmonious with your wedding set. Enjoy the watch!

You ladies are awesome! That's why I'm here, my friends do not share my love of the finer things. Loving it more and more every day, just hope it doesn't date too quickly!! It's so much more comfortable than my j12. I flipping love it!! Now hubby is looking for a nice watch, think he has the bug [emoji23] xx

Ladies, could I ask for your advice? I love Cartier and would like to get a ballon bleu. My husband prefers I get a Rolex. I'd like to get the bb in two tone - stainless steel and yellow gold. The only thing that's holding me back, is that I find it so strange that Cartier decided to put 3 gold links each up and down, then leave the back all stainless instead of making the alternate links continuous throughout the bracelet. Cartier wrote that I can't purchase gold 'replacement' links either. Considering the hefty price tag, that for me is the only hiccup with perfection.

Whilst I have no idea about this links up links down, how about something completely different like a rose gold one? I tried one on in store and it was like WOW and I don't even like rose gold. Sadly I couldn't afford it, but it's another option to go with your collection? Honestly, it needs to be tried on, I can't find my photo right now to show you sorry x

Love it on you! I sometimes wear mine with a leather wrap around Hermes bracelet. But I don't like to wear it with metal. Come to think of it mine needs a new battery!

Is yours Quartz too? How long have you left it before a battery change lee? Would you be kind enough to to show your stack how you wear it? Would love to see this combo! X

So reading the love forum, I learned that the certificate for the love sometimes just comes in a paper envelope and other time it is actually in a red leather envelope

That got me thinking about my Ballon Bleu watch and the only thing that came with my watch was an instruction booklet and in the first page it lists the serial code and has a stamp of the authorized dealer. Did everyone else just get this it did you get separate certificates like the image below?? Thank you!!!!
