I prefer Cartier, personally. It's a chic and feminine brand that makes lovely watches for women. I don't know why, but I feel as though Rolex is a masculine brand that, while timeless, peaked (for me) several years ago.

Go for a Cartier!

I have 2 Cartiers, a must 21 2 tone 31mm and a cartier tank solo with steel bracelet large size.

All I can say is that both of them can be very classic and also very trendy, depending on the other jewelry pieces that go with them. But one thing is for sure, a cartier gives to your look always a refined, and a upper-class touch.

A rolex always let me if the doubt/question: "Is that a perfect imitation or is that a real one?", ´cause you can find so many wonderful affordable copies in internet!"§$%&/

Cartier is an assurance for authenticity, since it´s very difficult to find perfect copies from it.

There are tons of Cartier copies on the Internet as well though. I don't know if the Rolex copies are better than the Cartier copies, since I've never seen them in real life. These days there are copies of everything.

Yes ... I am in love with an Omega Aqua Terra in SS with diamond markers. I want that watch so badly.

OHHHH that is a gorgeous watch! I just never cared for the look of the Rolex watches. Cartier- meh...I think they are over priced. I was having a battery replaced in my husband's watch the other day and was wearing my Omega. The jeweler commented on how much he liked the Omega watches. He carried Rolex but his comment was that the Omega was as good, if not better than the Rolex, and if he were buying a new watch, it would definitely be an Omega. They just opened an Omega store in our mall and I had to go in and drool a little. ;)

My husband wears an Omega and it is really nice looking-it is the James Bond one, whichever that is.
I've never worn a watch, but am now thinking about getting my first. There is only one that has caught my eye, and I've admired for years-the automatic Cartier 35mm Pasha C.
I know Rolex are very well made but their looks have never appealed to me. I don't normally consider resale value when buying personal items.

Yes, they've opened a small Omega boutique in my local mall too. I went in last week and tried on a 30mm Aqua Terra with diamond markers and a diamond bezel. I loved it. Then I went home, did some research, and discovered that the same watch comes in 34mm size. I think that the 34mm will be the one I want, but without the diamond bezel.

I do like Cartier watches too and would really love a Tank Anglaise but the Aqua Terra just seems more ... me!

Can't believe I posted this morning-my husband just completely surprised me with a Cartier Pasha C for Christmas!

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 hope you got the Tank. It's so much nicer on you.
