Thanks for your help, all of you!

I think it will be the Rolex Submariner date, in 40mm! You have convinced me...

Hi, I'm trying to choose a watch for my 25th birthday, yellow gold Rolex Daytona or the new rose gold Cartier Ballon Bleu large model with diamonds on a leather strap. I know its two different styles, and I'm more inclined towards the Rolex, but I want to choose the model which I will be happy with in years to come, and which will be fashionable and not dated. I already have a white gold and diamonds Chopard, so the Cartier would be an alternative colour wise. In your opinion which one is a keeper?

I think both are beautiful but for me - I'd choose rolex.

I think both are stunning, so maybe go with the Rolex to have some variety (diamonds and no diamonds). That way you have something for any mood, unless of course you are a diamonds all the time person

I have both and recommend both. You can't have one without the other.

This thread seems heavily in favour of Rolex, and I am not going to debate it's quality. I have just never seen a Rolex that is nearly as stunning as the Cartier Tank Francais. I absolutely LUST that watch. It's gorgeous everywhere from grocery shopping to a wedding... My personal opinion - Cartier. I just loooooooove that watch.

TOTALLY agree! It's my dream watch. SO classic... makes me think of all the classic women who've worn it over the years... Jackie O... now Michelle *****... there's an article in one of the magazines this month about the Tank (can't remember which one but I tore it out) and it just made me want it more! So classic. I prefer more feminine watches myself and don't need one that's rough and tumble so if I ever do get one, that'll be it! (probably in SS as I can't see ever affording the gold!)

Cartier...when I was robbed...all the guy said was "give me the rolex". When I wear Cartier, nobody gives me a second look.

HA! See I'd be the opposite - I never notice Rolexes but if you had a Cartier on I wouldn't rob you, but I might drool on it a bit. haha!

rolex all the way!

 

[honeybeez]

y rolex all the way? because it is more flashy?

 

[kiwishopper]

I like both! I think Cartier is very classy and the attention to detail, design and how it curves to the wrist is just perfection! Rolex holds it own too, especially it's all gold version. I don't know, I like both. I only own Roadster in SS and no Rolex, that's on my wishlist though lol

I have a cartier and rolex. I do not have a favorite. I absolutely love them both.

 

[meghankkg]

Well I like both, especially midsize Rolexes with the black mother of pearl faces, but I love Cartier...and am so excited that I just ordered a two-toned Roadster! Its my first really nice watch!

 

[bagshopr]

i have both, a yellow gold Cartier tank with a black strap and a Rolex ladies size white gold, white face, no diamonds. I like a very plain watch, no bling.
They are totally different styles. I love both of them equally and could not choose if I had to. One difference, the Cartier is a quartz, which I know watch afficianados (sp)view negatively, and the Rolex is an automatic. I consider the Rolex "spoiled" because it has to be worn two days in a row or it sulks and stops running!
