I would like to see some photos. Are you a watch person or a bracelet person? Which do you see yourself wear more?
Congrats on your achievements on your fellowship! 
Two of your choices are watches. I would first decide if you want a watch or bracelet. And, I would pick one you could
Wear the most (best cost per wear) or that will price increase the most (assuming you love all three)
But, I’m inclined to say that if you cannot decide btw two different Cartier models. Perhaps the bracelet
No wrong answer! Go with your heart!

Congratulations!!! 
While I am generally a watch person over jewelry, I chose the bracelet based on the options above.
1) Cartier small panthere with diamonds - I have the panthere TT in medium and while I love it (it is my daily watch and is very comfortable, I can sleep with it on too), however the caveat for me is that the small is very small. Many enjoy the panthere like jewelry so if that's what you intend to use it for then I understand. However, I like to read time on my watches and the small is too small for me to read personally. It would strain my eyes over time.
Btw here's a try on of some panthere's I did a few years back: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/cartier-watch-photo-comparisons-panthere-and-tanks.1057434/
Also, what metal were you thinking of with the panthere watch? YG?
2) Cartier 33 YG balloon bleu w/ diamonds - I love the balloon bleu but only in SS with no diamonds lol. I think it looks best with a clean look but that's just personal preference.
YG is also quite heavy. That may or may not bother you but it is something to consider, especially if you want to wear it with bracelets.
Regardless all lovely pieces! Please let us know what you end up deciding and we would love to see mod shots!!
