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

[NWK]

Cartier watches are lovely, here Rolex is not that big, and the real great classy watch to own is Patek, a notch higher in my opinion both in design and quality and yes...in price.. but so beautiful

That Rolex is gorgeous! And congratulations on your new tank - what a great present!!

I think you all are right, I should buy what I love and speaks to me. What do you all think of the Cartier Pasha?

I love the Pasha especially the large with the pink face, I believe it's automatic I considered it myself but ended up getting a 36mm datejust.

i both watches!!!!

I think I know what you mean! I was never that into Rolex until last year when I happened to see one in a magazine and fell in love with it at first sight! DH got me one for Christmas that I absolutely adore. I think it's feminine looking and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. However, I have always, always wanted a Cartier Tank Francaise, and DH surprised me for Valentine's Day this year with one! Here's pics of the two:

I love all things Cartier, except their watches.
The designs just don't do it for me.
I bought a YG Rolex and I love it.

Hi:
I really really don't know how to choose between:
-Rolex daytona in yellow gold w/dial set diamonds.
-Cartier ballon bleu in yellow gold and bezel set w/ diamonds.
Actually they are so different and it is sooo hard to choose.
please help.

hey guyz. where are you?

I vote Cartier. I just prefer the look of the Cartier.

My vote is for the Cartier. I feel you can't really go wrong with any Cartier watch. Some Rolex watches I feel are too copied and aren't "unique" enough so to speak. I'd pick Cartier over Rolex any day.

The Ballon Bleu is the most exquisite, chic watch I've ever seen! And with YG and diamonds........ I'm going to faint!

The Rolex is waterproof and will last forever. I have had mine for 25 years and have not been particularly careful with it...wore it on the job as a structural inspector for years and rarely take it off. I agree they are 2 very different looks and both are lovely. If this will be your everyday only watch like mine, I would go with the Rolex.

Sporty (Rolex Daytona) vs. Elegance (Cartier Ballon Bleu)... they are completely different in terms of looks & the overall aesthetics. Both are excellent choices... but if it were me, I'd prefer Rolex vs. Cartier. Rolex retains its value overtime. Daytonas' resale value still remain high throughout the years.. something to think about.

 

[akoko]

hm...its a difficult choice because both watches are so different.
ok this might not help much, but have you considered the gold president? I just think it's somewhere between the two, not as sporty as the daytona, but very durable and a classic. (and my dream watch).
Between the two I would go for the ballon bleu.

I am not the biggest fan of Cartier watches. So I would vote for the Rolex. It is a classic.
