Hokaplan, since you have both, can you tell me why you would choose Rolex first over the Roadster??
I prefer round watches right now! And to me - the rolex is the ultimate. From everything I learned and read on TPF regarding high-end watches, rolex is the better timepiece (mechanical standpoint). But I just got the medium automatic ss ballon bleu Cartier which is amazing. So if you were asking between ballon bleu and rolex, I don't know which I'd choose!
haha, thanks for your vote Irishgal! I'm a bit biased since I love my Roadster so much as well! Which Chanel J12 do you have? I also have that watch, and it's another of my personal favs. I have the 33mm white w/ diamond markers.
Thanks, that makes sense. Yes, I recall in your previous posts you were looking to get the ballon bleu! I'm happy to hear you purchased it and are happy with it! It is a beautiful watch!
Looks like we have the same taste, that is the same J12 I have also!
oh, really! Well, you have great taste!!! 
They are both beautiful watches!I also have both and love them equally. However, for a first time classic high-end piece, I would vote Rolex. I think the Roadster has more of an 'edge' to it......I also have the Tank F. and that is also a fabulous watch. No matter what he picks, he will have a very happy wife.
I own a Cartier tank francaise which I absolutely adore. I bought my fiance a Rolex Datejust a couple of months ago. While I would love to own a Rolex (and thus have matching watches) for some reason Rolex designs are not speaking to me, even though I think they are better watches than Cartier. Cartier watches are much more feminine in design and go with my jewelry better. Does anyone know what I am talking about?
