I vote Tank Francaise or Santos. The Panthere has just been re-released, and it's always been a favorite of mine. Before you make a final decision, I suggest you consider that model as well.

Thank you, I need to look at the Panthere as well. I tried on the watches on vacation a couple of months ago, as there are no Cartier ADs where I live and I will be ordering online. The Panthere hadn't been released yet but it does look like a beautiful model! I liked how the Santos looked, but I thought it wasn't versatile enough for my first Cartier (to me it looks quite sporty and I couldn't see wearing it to a dressy event; I already have a Nomos Tetra Kleene as a casual watch that I love). The Panthere seems like it would look similar on the wrist but would be dressier. My current go-to all purpose watch is the Longines Dolce Vita tank and I'm looking to upgrade
Haven't tried the Panthere yet, but I agree! I am leaning a bit towards the TA because of the dial and the similar size/look to my Longines tank, which I've had and loved since 2001. My husband also ordered a large TF with the silver dial that I like, not sure if it's too big for a dressy watch, but I like the silver dial, and the automatic movement is a nice bonus (I didn't like the ivory dial on the medium TF with my skin tone). These watches all look bigger in photos than IRL.

My Nomos (which I love for its unique combination of a fun look with a very serious mechanical movement):
I think the size is perfect for you.
Thank you so much for your input!
Ok...narrowed it down to these 2. Can't decide! I like the TF better for casual/everyday based on size, but love the face, rectangular shape, & shinier case on TA, plus TA looks dressier on me (TF looks like I'm wearing a men's watch bc of my wrist size). First world problems, wish I could keep both!
Opinions appreciated!
Opinions appreciated!
I think the TA looks better on you, more proportionate to your size. If you really really like the TF, perhaps try on a size smaller. The current looks seems oversized. Just my humble opinion.
Definitely the TA, it looks dressier and just beautiful. It has the wow factor on you. The TF is beautiful too but doesn't have the "wow", in my opinion.
Thank you very much for the advice! I was hesitating over the TA because of the continued trend towards oversized women's watches, but it is so beautiful. I think I'm going to go with TA.
Great collection!
