Cartier or Rolex.....Which do you prefer??

[trishhh]

i own a Cartier Santos and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual datejust. Both watches are great!

I like Cartier and my sister like Rolex's. Just a taste preference!

cartier for me, i just suit a rectangular face better than a round one.

I am going to buy myself a watch in the coming few weeks, was wondering your ladies' opinion on the contrast between the two. Which holds time better? Which retains value better? TIA...

Rolex all the way......holds time and value waaaayyyy better. I like Cartier too, but it pales next to the Rolex. Try them on and then decide.

Rolex definitly!!!

I get so many admiring glances when i wear mine, although i get a few looks also where people make it obvious that they think its fake lol!!

 

[jennipuh]

definitely the rolex! it'll retain its value longer.

Rolex

I'm trying to make the same decision myself. I think a serious watch is going to be my Christmas bonus present to myself next year (this year it was an LV) :shame:

If you want the better watch, definitely go Rolex -- the movement in Cartier watches doesn't justify the price at all. But I do think that a Cartier tank is one of the most functional watches you can own. I love the way they can go from casual to practically black tie. I haven't seen a Rolex for women that has the same versatility.

For myself, I'll probably just go try some on and see which I like better.

I just bought the two tone mid size Tank Francaise. What I loved about the Cartier is the fact that it sits flatter on your wrist and seems less bulky. Also I think it's a little more versatile than some of the Rolexes. At the end of the day it's personal preference; I'm not worried about the watch retaining its value.

I already have my eye on my next one, the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Duetto. It is really a gorgeous watch and very different than many I've looked at.

That's funny, one of the reason's I like Rolex better is the fact it sits up higher on your arm as opposed to sitting flat like the Cartier. I really like both watches but the Rolex is a much better made watch. I like the fact its waterproof so you never have to take it off and if you get the right model, you don't have to worry about scratches etc.

Definitely Rolex - much better made and better resale

I also say Rolex.

Its a matter of your personal style. Which do you want on your wrist?

I agree that the Rolex will hold its value and be more durable. There are also tons of different styles of Rolex and you'll be able to select one that really expresses your individual preferences.

I have a Cartier. At the time, it seemed to work better with my wardrobe and lifestyle than the Rolex. Its not that durable, and its kind of "precious"--I wear it for work, and that's about it. I say if you want a durable watch that holds its value, go Rolex, if you really love the Cartiers, go for it.

How important to you is the resale value? Do you plan on selling it or anything?
