I honestly think this big watch thing is more of a trend, so I would go with the Ladies size. It's a classic that will never be out of style.
I prefer larger but I am also tall.
Get what you are most comforatable with. I have to say I did buy a 33mm J12 and then sized up to the 38. It's amazing how you get used to the size and then think it's too small. I also like that I can read the face better on the larger dials.

I concur with beachy. I'm 5' 8", and I love my large size Cartier BB. It all depends on what you like, but I would guess the majority of the ladies here will recommend the midsize.
I love larger watches. Pretty much every watch I own is in the largest possible size. However, I'm also taller with slightly larger wrist, so that's what looks good on me.
The Roadster "wears big" to me. Bigger than the Ballon. So I'd go for the midsize or ladies. Definitely try it on several times before you decide.
I love big watches...I got a Rolex YG Daytona this year and absolutely love it, but it's streamlined and somehow goes well on my puny wrist. I also love the Roadster and thought I'd want bigger, but the Ladies size was pretty darn large on me. Definitely try it on if you can.
I am thinking of the Ballon Bleu, the Tank or the Roadster, of these which would you choose and either the midsize or the ladies? Any help would be so appreciated! I thought the roadster looked a little heftier so I thought I was leaning that way but also love the look of these three I mentioned.
Also, which models are polished SS? Thanks!

before i decided to get my tank, i was compared the different sized tanks with the different sized roadsters. the men's roadster was simply too big on my wrist and looked like the watch was wearing me! 
so it came down to the tank vs the ladies roadster. my preference was to go with the more classic tank. i ended up getting the small tank since the mid and the large looked too masculine on me.
it's really a preference though. i am more used to a ladies or mid-sized watch...so the larger watches felt way too big on me.
good luck deciding...cartier makes such gorgeous pieces!

My tank is very streamlined. I will have to take a picture over the weekend so you can see it
