I have a Tank and recently got an Air King Rolex which is 34mm and considered a man's watch. I love my Rolex and I'm not a big girl. I'm 5'2'' and weigh a little over 100lbs so it is a substantial watch on my little wrist, but I've received more compliments on my Rolex in 2 weeks than I've ever received on my Tank which I've had it for years. I think too many people have a Cartier Tank, which may be proof that it is a classic and it will never go out of style, but I think the Rolex is "WOW"!
 
difficult decision..they are all look great! love lagre size watch. if it's possible i would have both tank and rolex jubilee one. but if i really have to choose one, i go for rolex jubilee bracelet. then be nice to your hubby for a cartier tank next year!

well, whatever you decide stick with large size and 2 tones, i love it!
 
Hi ladies i have got the mid size tank in SS & the datejust SS exactly the same one as in the pic with the white dial and ive recently had the dial changed to the new pink flower dial, it makes a mans watch look like a ladies watch and I am totally in love with it, but I think the mid size tank is just as lovely so it comes down to which 1 you prefer. They both look stunning.
 
Good choice Chloegirl, I too have a SS rolex datejust mans size & have 3 cartiers
mid size SS Tank
large SS roadster
SS santo 100 with pink leather strap
and a 38mm white chanel with diamond markers
Ive just recently sold a mid size bi metal yachtmaster & my DH has told me no more watches but do I listen NO ( watch this space Im sure ill add to my collection)
 
thank you all very much for your replies!
I decided to go with the tank, just because I like the two tone look on it a little bit more, and also for some reason, I liked it as a wedding present.
Also, I realized that in the rolex I prefer the sleek look of either ss or just gold (....a girl can dream ;))
thanks again ladies!
 
Hi Everyone,

I wanted to get a few opinions! My brother has asked me to help him choose between 2 watches for his wife. She loves classic, timeless pieces and does not currently own either a Cartier or a Rolex. She has mentioned in the past that she loves the Roadster and also the midsize Rolex, both in SS. She is a professional and wears tailored, casual chic clothing to work and jeans on the weekends. I have a Roadster SS and adore it, but I also love the midsize Rolex, so I've been no help to my brother. Any help with pros and cons would be appreciated. I provided links to both watches below. However, the Rolex would be withOUT diamond markers! :D Thanks so much!

You can't go wrong with either..do you know if she likes one designer better than another (like, loves Rolex no matter what, always wanted one..)..or is she really open to both? I have to say I looked at both, and ended up with the Roadster, and have not touched my Chanel J12 since I got the Roadster. I too am a professional and wear suits, so favor a conservative look.
Good luck! Either way I am sure she will be thrilled!!
