If looking for a dressier classic watch, I'd go with Cartier (tank looks great but my favorite style is the Roadster). If looking for a sporty classic look, then I'd pick the Rolex. Both are great.

Hello PF friends! I desperately need your help in making a decision between these two watches. I currently own 2 Cartier watches, the Tank Francaise (small) and a Divan, and thought my 3rd watch would be the Roadster until I walked into a Rolex dealership today. I've always thought Rolex watches looked "older", but today I tried on the Air King which they say is a man's watch at 34mm and I loved the its sleek, modern look. Lately I've been leaning toward the larger watch faces and the stainless steel band and the clean face of the Air King has me thinking twice about getting another Cartier. Please help me decide! TIA! :nuts:

I have an SS Roadster and am in love with it. I also have the Tank f (small) and a Cartier SS Must 21, however of my 3 Cartiers, the Roadster is #1 for me. BUT, since you already own 2 Cartiers and you have fallen for the Rolex Air King, why not go with something different than Cartier?? The Air king is definitely chic, cool and classy all wrapped into 1.

I am leaning towards the Air King but my only concern is that I am very petite and have small wrists. Hokaplan, if you don't mind me asking, would your wrists be considered small, average, or large?

chloegirl - I'm 5ft6in and 118 lbs. So I'm not a petite or a large person. I would say my wrist is small to average. I take a 17 in the Cartier Love bangle if that helps. The Air King is my favorite size in my entire watch collection. My next ballon bleu is a 37mm which is a little big but i can read the time easier!

I have small wrist (16 in Cartier love cuff and bangle), and have SS Roadster ladies size and 31mm Rolex datejust. They are quite similar sizewise IMHO...don't really care for Air King, too plain for me....

Since you already have 2 cartier, go for the air king.
They are both about the same size, just different shapes. I really like the air king and considered getting one for myself but I prefer the date on my watches.
