I have been deciding between these two watches for what seems like decades now and I think I'm driving everyone in my life crazy with my constant flip-flopping! My problem is that I have relatively small wrists and, on some days, I think the Roadster just looks ridiculous on me, even in the small size. On other days, I think the Santos is too small.

I know I can go in the store and try them on myself...believe me, I know! I'm just worried that I've worn the patience of the salespeople at my local Cartier store thin! I really don't think I can go in there any more times and ask to try on the same two watches without making a purchase.

I was therefore wondering if anyone who has either of these two watches in the small model (color doesn't matter) would mind posting pictures of yourself wearing them...I just want to see what they look like on an objective wrist! For the sake of the people in my life who I keep going on about this with and the poor salespeople at my cartier store, please help!
 
Oh thanks! I had already looked through that thread, but I just wanted to get people who own the two in those exact sizes to post them..most of the santos in that thread are in the larger sizes.
 
I pretty much suck at posting pics so I'll apologize in advance. I have pretty small wrists. I bought the Santos and was initially concerned about its small size. I love it now! I think the square face makes it not look to small. I also have the smaller size omega constellation with a round face. I personally think the square face of the Santos looks so much better! I too often feel the larger watches just overwhelm me. I also feel like it's a trend right now. Go for classic.
 
Not sure which size roadster I have (I didn't realize there was more than one), but here's my photo. I tried to take as much of my hand and arm as possible so you could see the size.

I'm 5'6" tall but my wrist is delicate 14cm and I hv a demoiselle small pink dial.
I luv the square face and the beautiful strap!!
It's very feminine and delicate.
Luv at 1st sight....
 
Between the two I'd take the roadster. If it was a tank v roadster I'd be more hard pressed to choose though. I used to love the Santos though!

Love it! I've been trying to find pictures of watches with halo engagement rings. I havent found one that I like yet. Seems like the halo sometimes is too contrasting for me
