I have a Cartier Santos that I was given on my 21st birthday. It is still perfect and I'm now 34 and have worn it every day of my life. My father collects Rolex and I have to admit that I have been eyeing up the one with the diamonds and the pink face. There is something low key and elegant though about the Tank and the other Cartier designs. Rolex is far more bling.

I guess it's just personal choice.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Rolex does have some models that have batteries. Mine's one of the automatic ones. I wear my Pearlmaster just about every day, though I do love my Cartier Santos, too.

I like Cartier's design better, however today in the Feb. issue of Bazzar, I saw a rolex with pave diamond face with blue numbers that has a more modern look than the traditional ones, it kinda draw my attention, definitely an improvement from the rolex folks in terms of chicness. But I still heart Cartier a lot more for its unique geometric form. And it resembles the perfect balance between vintage and futurism.

Rolex. Both hubby and I have the midsize in stainless, and they're indestructible, waterproof, and can be dressed up or dressed down. We've had them for 20+ years and they look brand new.

I just got a Rolex, a ladies size with a champagne face and stainless/gold band. It is very comfortable and goes with everything. I did have a Cartier tank francaise, which I loved, but it hurt my wrist. I think the bracelet was just not right for me.
I'm posting the seller's picture of my Rolex as I haven't taken any of my own.

Another Rolex girl here... I've had my two-tone Oyster Lady-Datejust with an oyster bracelet, white dial, fluted bezel and roman numerals for three years now. I still look at it and drool. :heart: It's a gorgeous timepiece. I wear it with EVERYTHING; it's all I wear. :smile1:

If I ever splurged on another, I'd want a mid-size Yachtmaster.

Congrats on your Rolex! You'll LOVE it!
