I would definetly go with the Love Bracelet!
You can wear it more often ,with your daily casual and also for formal occasion ( meeting, a night out, etc).
The bracelet is more versatile in my opinion .

Speaking of which, are you able to recommend any reputable cartier watch resellers online?

Thanks !

There are famous auctions websites like Sotheby's, or Drouot in France. You can buy with confidence, but these websites are well known so the prices can go extremely high if a buyer is really interested.

Then there is the chrono24 website for example. Both individuals or watch stores can sell on it. I only buy from stores that are verified (chrono24 checks them and certifies them) and I check their customer feedbacks. When you see the label 'trusted seller since 2007' for example, let's say several years at least, I think you can trust it :).
But to buy on this kind of website I would say it is better to be well documented about what you intend to buy. I know Cartier watches quite well, so I check obvious details in the pictures (for example the tiny signature on the X figure on some models). and when I receive the watch I test it to make sure it is solid gold and I open it to check the movement. Otherwise you can have the watch authenticated and return it if it's not authentic or if you don't like it, but you have to pay for the authentication and shipping so not such a good deal.
Buying watches online this way is not the easiest thing but this is what most watch enthusiasts do for men's watches, and I really like the feeling of finding a rare watch and/or grabbing a bargain :)

Hi ladies,
I came to give you an update about my watch purchase :)
I was about to buy the first Panthere, the one with MOP dial, but sadly it sold just before my eyes... :sad::annoyed::-s
It happens !
So I decided to wait a bit more. You convinced me that the other 2 watches were not as special as this one.
Also, I decided I'm finally not a fan of diamonds on a watch (or not too many diamonds). Because when I get married (I hope I will one day!) I would like to have a diamond wedding set. And I like a minimalist look, so diamond watch + diamond rings on the same hand is too much bling for my taste :)

And then... I found my dream watch !!
I knew I wanted a Cartier Panthere in gold but it had to be a limited edition because I'm not a fan of the regular Panthere design, I've seen it too much.
And I found this 'Art deco' limited edition Panthere with U shaped links in the bracelet.
I'm totally in LOVE. There are no diamonds so it's more simple, but I love how the bracelet design makes it so special :)
It's a rare model so it was more expensive than all others I had seen (even the diamond pave one), but I don't regret it.

That watch is beautiful. I like it better than the one with the diamonds.
