First Cartier watch: Panthere or Santos?

[UpUpnAway]

I love both but prefer the santos over the panthere. I like the band better, the larger face (the panthere face is tiny!), and also that i don’t see it being worn as often. It’s a bit more
Masculine but the ladies I know who wear the santos are super feminine and rock it well! Both are timeless.

I found my pix from 3 years ago. It was at the Cartier boutique while I was trying to decide. Sorry they’re not great and I don’t have very nice wrists but hope they help

thanks for the pics! mind i ask what size is your wrist?

I wear a love bracelet size 18, slightly on the loose side. If I remember my wrist was around 16.5 cm

I went to the store and now am stuck between the small TF and medium panthers. Thoughts???

@sweetpea23 Panthére!
Both are beautiful, but the Panthére looks just a little bit more elegant, smoother, the bracelet is finer, the white is more white, the lines are... just a little bit more appealing for my eye.

Medium Panthere. So gorgeous.

I've always been a fan of the TF. I've owned one forever and there has never been a time I didn't love it.

I have the Santos Dumont and it’s thin & very easy to wear. It’s one of my favorites and gets my vote!

Both are beautiful but Panthere would be my first choice. I have one in small size and I love it!! So elegant!

Santos all the way! Panthere for me is like an old lady's watch, sorry

I think this style is especially lovely in two-tone. It also looks fantastic when worn with the Love bracelet IMO.

I initially thought the Panthere was too "old" and reminded me of the 1980s... but I was surprised by how nice and jewelry-like the small model was.

I like look of Santos. It feels fresh and modern

Thanks! I might be the only one of 0.00001% who doesn't like Love bracelets I think they are quite ordinary and not much different from bangles of other jewelry houses. The fan base of Cartier's Love collection is mostly international (non-French), here in France, locals seem to prefer other collections from Cartier...

I see it the other way round but it's perfect that tastes are so different.
