Another vote for Air King

The Air King is the clear winner!

A vote for Air King! I have tiny wrists(5.5" around) but wear a 33 mm J12. I don't think 34mm will be too big even if your wrist is around the same size as mine.

I took everyone's advice and I got my Air King. I love it!!! Will post pics later.

Hi ladies!
I'm getting a present for my wedding and I am completely torn between these watches. I already have a midsize rolex ss perpetual (which i love), and my first though was to get a man size ss rolex. I really like the big watch trend and kind of regretted not getting one initially. Now I'm leaning towards a two tone, because I've started wearing gold (and unfortunately I can't afford an all gold one).
I like that with the rolex I get a big size watch, which I initially wanted, but I'm afraid it might be a bit too blingy.
I like that on the tank the gold is discreet, but I don't know if its too conservative.
What do you ladies think? Do you like the watches? What do you think of the two tone look?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

I like the Cartier. I know the big watch is huge in fashion right now, but I do not know if that style will last forever. The Cartier is a classic, and I think you can wear it for years to come.

I agree with the above poster. I don't know how long huge watches are going to be in style for women. And for me, if i am going to spend $$$ on a watch i need for it to not be a trend. I also might be biased since I just bought a Cartier over a Rolex.

Tank! Tank! Tank! I agree with AntiqueShopper it is a classic that you will wear for years to come. Since this watch is a wedding present, I would go classic.

thank you very much for your replies!
Do you like the two tone tank? Do you think that it's also a classic? I'm just asking because usually I see the ss one.

The Cartier Tank is my favorite on you.

I think any Tank you pick will be a classic. The Tank has been around since 1917, so I think any version works.

really? that is very interesting to know.

I like the Tank on you.
