Oh my. This is a tough one. I too have fallen in love with the Cartier. It is such a unique, pretty little thing. I think I would choose the Cartier. I find it extremely feminine and chic. And I want one soooooo bad. Sorry but I think I'm biased. I keep intending to buy a Rolex but I keep getting sidetracked by Cartier. I've bought three Cartiers so far. Still no Rolex.
Cartier or Rolex.....Which do you prefer??

The Cartier is beautiful, but there are so many different styles of the Rolex Datejust. The Datejust goes from the very plain to the bling-ed out and fabulous, so it really depends on whether you want a dressy or a more casual watch. You can't go wrong with either one, though. Just remember that the Rolex is automatic, meaning there's no battery--so keeping it wound is something to think about. It's usually no big deal, but with the Cartier, you probably will get a quartz movement. Just a thought.
The Cartier! I've been drooling over it since I saw a sneak preview of it this summer. Are you considering the one with or without diamonds on the dial? If it's the latter, you are considering my pie-in-the-sky diamond watch!!!! (just need to win the lotto first!)
I have a Rolex and it is very durable. I've had it for over 16 years and rarely take it off (even to waterski) I am kinda rough on things so I love that this watch can take it! Not even a scratch on the crystal! Expensive to service, tho...over $600. I have an 18K perpetual datejust...no diamonds and wear it with everything...although I don't get too dressed up very often so that might be a consideration.
Wow, its like the new Cartier is priced to make (many of)the others look very cheap....or like a total bargain!!!! That roadster (ss) that I was eyeing the other day now looks like its great value!!!!! I know this is a trick that the higher end brands are now doing more and more.
But, of course I do love the new Cartier but it is stingingly expensive!!!!!

I just got to see the Cartier in person the other day and I fell in love! I don't think it is too trendy and I think most of Cartier's watches have a completely classic look. I would go with the Cartier. It is so gorgeous and feminine. The Rolex is a lovely watch too, but for me the Cartier just is irresistible.
i am in a dilemma as both watches look so different
i already have a gold and steel Lady Datejust..
a santos 100 would still not be dressy enough for evenings, just that it has lots of character
but a rolex with diamonds.. well, i already have a rolex.. and while its safe and feminine, it just lacks character

Go with your heart.
