Chanel J12 or Cartier Santos with pink strap

[missyb]

As many of you know I was between a j12 and bb. When I finally went to Cartier this past weekend I didn't like the bb on me at all but liked the santos 100. I then went to Chanel and liked the black j12 38mm. I love both but can only get one. Which do you think?i know not a great pic. Sorry

Black J12! Have had J12 for 6 years and love it as much as the day I got it!

I would go for the Chanel, a black watch will go with everything. You can always save up again and buy another watch.

I am trying to find out if I can change the bands myself because I would get a few other colors

I like the Santos, but concerned you might not be able to wear the pink with everything.

I would choose Cartier over Chanel for a watch but having said that the black j12 is irresistable. So I would go for j12 this time.

I can get a black strap from cartier and change the band they showed me a book with about 200 straps.

Awesome. I would love that, I prefer leather bands.

I would take the Cartier. I think it's a beautiful and classic watch and Cartier is a company you buy jewelry and watches from.

I am really leaning towards the santos because it's so classic and will never go out of style

I definitely think the Cartier will be the best choice over the long haul. To me, Cartier is fine jewelry and the J12, while very nice, is still more of a fashion accessory. Nothing is wrong with either choice, obviously, but it depends on your preference.

Cartier, but maybe with a neutral strap.

I would choose the Santos. I have the white version and never wear it anymore, if I had bought it in the black strap I probably would wear it more often. Nevertheless, I still love it.
