Hello everyone,

Please help me pick between these two fabulous time pieces.
The Cartier Santos medium SS or the Bulgari serpenti SS double spiral without diamonds.
Both are Classic time pieces and very well known as well as recognised.
One veers towards sporty and the other one dressy almost like jewellery.
They are almost in the same price bracket.

So far I’ve got a Rolex datejust 36mm RG/SS with diamonds, a Franck Muller curves WG with diamonds.
Looking to add something wearable yet versatile that’ll add to my collection and serve as a unique timeless piece.

Pictures are more than welcome ❤️

(I’ve attached a picture of the SS/RG serpenti just to give an idea how it looks on me)
I love the watch in your last picture. I also love how your black leather chypres look on your feet.

Is it possible to post more similar full body pictures of you wearing them from a distance in the Hermes CHYPRE sandals thread? :heart: To get a better vision on how they look worn? Most pictures are close up shots of the feet .Your picture says to me you have the perfect feet to wear them!
Are they comfy wearing all day long?

 
Definitely the Serpenti, it looks absolutely fabulous on you and it's a nice variation to what you already have :smile:. It also looks way better on your wrist (it actually looks perfect) than Santos, which looks too big for the size of your wrist IMHO.

Wow! Thank you dear Chanel for your lovely words :hbeat: True, the serpenti will add a nice variation to my collection. And it’s something I’ll definitely cherish for decades

Seeing your current collection, I'd go for the Bvlgari. Especially if you're looking for something unique, the Bvlgari serpenti is definitely unique.
Echoing others, I feel that with due to your slim wrists and arms, the Bvlgari compliments your figure more.
The Santos would just be a stronger more masculine look if that's what you're going for.

Though I am a bit biased because I already have a Panthere (not the same as a Santos but it also has a square face, I'd prefer a different shape) and Bvlgari serpenti is my favorite line. :lol:
I simply love masculine looking timepieces.
I do wear my husband’s Panerai 44mm quite often.
But yes, I would love to get something to add to my existing timepieces. Unique and versatile - that’s what the serpenti is.

Do post a picture of your panthere is you can. It’s so dreamy
