Help me choose - Cartier La Dona, Santos Demoiselle, or Santos Galbee

[Faith]

My vote is for the Santos Demoiselle two-tone! I've been lusting after this watch for years!

Have you considered the Ballon Bleu?

 

[roussel]

Yes I tried the Ballon Bleu but not really me... Thanks!

Either the two tone Tank Francaise or stainless steel La Dona are great choices.

I just bought my first cartier watch last week, wanted tank initially. But ultimately settle for a Santos 100 in pink leather.

why dont you consider Santos 100 too?

 

[roussel]

Thanks mewocsj! Congratulations, lovely watch! I would consider that if I was looking for a more casual watch. Actually my husband liked the mens Santos 100 in rose gold and with alligator strap - sooo pretty!

I vote for the Le Dona for a dressy watch. Roussel, you may want to go to the store to try these watches on. Some can look pretty masculine and/or sporty on.

Thanks barcreperie! I did try on all of these and I decided against the Tank, Demoiselle, and the Santos Galbee. All are not the style I was looking for. The La Dona on the other hand is just perfect!

^ that's the plan so far! I am just waiting for a good deal

Oh.. by the way, I did not get the watch from a Cartier Boutique as there is not discount.. The listed price of my Santos Cartier is USD5000. I got this at a reputated chain watch boutique at a 20% discount at USD4000.

Perhaps you could also ask for some discount from the Authorised Dealer too.

If there is a Tourneau store near you, try there. They offered me an amazing deal on a two tone Roadster (which is one fine looking watch by the way...).

Please post pic of that santos demoiselle here! I want to see. I was trying to get a watch from HL too that day, but you ladies are so fast.
