ballon bleu - quartz vs automatic?

[Phillyfan]

laurayuki - are you talking about your j12 being automatic? Which Cartier watch do you have? I love your style - interested in your opinion of ballon bleu in all steel - medium size. Thanks so much!

I think hokaplan already got her BB watch!

Yes I bought the automatic one and I'm so glad I did!

Automatic definitely.

(I had a whole diatribe on why to buy automatic.)

automatic is for luxury look. It holds the value better when you decide to sell them. If you hate winding every time you do wear them then buy a watch winder

vs.

I believe this is an easier way to justify the $500.

a lil OT, but Does anyone know about the Tank Francaise? I noticed on the saks website they only have quartz movement. Do they make the stainless steel tank in automatic as well? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
