Considering a Cartier Watch

[CoastalCouture]

It's time for an automatic, mechanical watch. I've been browsing the Cartier website several times a day. I am ready to now go to the Cartier store and try on a few styles. I was wondering whether the store will have models beyond those shown on the website?

Thanks.

It should depend on the store. I was at the BH store last week and it was very well stocked. Good luck, you can't go wrong with a Cartier IMO.

Cartier is my favorite. Tell us what you get!

I hope to visit the store tomorrow. Today just wasn't the day to get down to Palo Alto. I did squeeze in some browsing of a couple of other brands. I thought the Omega DeVille had possibilities. I saw a nice selection of Rolexes as well but, it's Cartier I want to really see and hold and try on.

I like the Rolex Datejust a lot, but Cartier watches feel more comfortable on my wrist. I love the Cle, and they brought back the Panthere, which is also a favorite. Have fun at the store.

I think I found the right watch. I tried on a Tank Anglaise in the large size, a Cles de Cartier, and several Ballons Bleus. Here are the finalists. They are size 33mm. I am going to give it the weekend to think it over. One of these is on hold for me.

You can't go wrong, they are all beautiful.

My favorite is the last one.

I prefer the second one.

Thanks for the likes and comments. I thought I my mind was made up on the all silver stainless model with diamond markers. Over the weekend, I started doubting my choice and thinking that maybe I shouldn't dismiss Rolex quite just yet. Then I look at my pictures again and I know this is the one I want. It's pretty and I like it on my wrist.

Spring for the 2 tone! You deserve it!

Update on the watch search. I went with the automatic large Tank Francaise in 2 tone steel with yellow gold. I am watch content.

I am planning on buying the large auto Tank Francaise. How do you like it? Does it feel large on you? Would you mind posting a photo?

I love it. The watch is not at all big though it does have some heft to it. Took a few pictures and for some reason, I seem to have old lady hands. Anyway, here you go, large auto Tank Française, steel with yellow gold.

Thanks for posting your photos. The watch looks great on you. I am having to decide between the stainless steel and the stainless/yellow gold. That gold looks good.
