ok this is an old thread yet still valid...
im in this debate now ( sort of) i have a pink face oradster and am thinking of getting a rolex pereptual oyster datejust..
i think that others have mentioned althouth rolex reallly holds its price well its all a matter of preferece..
i can see myself wearing the rolex everyday as my everyday watch as its quite durable and simple.. i thnk the cartier is a much much mroe elegenat watch.. in general...
Rolex all the way fo me! I actually saved for a Cartier (White Gold Tank Francaise with diamond bezel) but came home with a Rolex (18kt White Gold Rolex Oyester Datejust with diamond bezel and markers) instead.When I saw the Rolex watch next to the Cartier Tank it was a no-brainer.
BTW, the Ladies Size Rolex is quite feminine and tasteful (not a fan of big watches) and Rolex is waterproof not just Water Resistant like Cartier so I have no fear of damaging the watch when I steam clean the diamonds.

My husband is buying me a watch for my 40th birthday and I researched and studied both the Rolex and Cartier. I have good friends that personally own Rolexes and they recommend Rolex over anything else. I have chosen the Mid-size Datejust, Oyster band two-tone stainless and ever rose gold with fluted bezel and diamond markers. It is breathtaking!!! Never saw anything like it until I started looking. A rolex is an investment and a fine piece of jewelry. It will hold it's value clout for years to come!![/QUOTE]
I agree congratulations on your new watch can't wait to see pics!
