I love the BB in Gold /Steel!! She is a beauty 
Go for size 33mm, since already own a Rolex 36mm.
I'm currently looking for a new watch too
. But, I'm going for a 36mm coz my current Rolex is a 33mm, hehehe

I think it's going to be BB- just have to decide now on two tone or stainless but definitely 33mm. I really want a yellow gold love too so that's why I'm leaning towards two tone. Just wish the gold bars went all the way around the bracelet. SA told me it was a cost-savings decision- these watches cost so much- you'd think they would wrap the gold around the underside!!!! GEESH!
Ok ladies,
I'm getting ready to take the plunge . I am so back and forth between the tank and BB- not even sure if I would do BB two-tone 33 or stainless 33. I am sort of leaning towards tank right not. I'm really hung up on the longevity of this watch. I want this to be a watch that I pass on to my daughter. I view my 36mm rolex as my "fun" watch- sort of chunky, masculine in the larger size- may or may not be "in" in 30 years . Which of these two options is more classic between BB and Tank? Is the tank still current? Or is the BB the new classic? I just don't want it to phase out in 10 years time. Thoughts?

I think either will stand the test of time and both are classic, but in different ways. I made my BB decison when I saw it on the wrist of a business man wearing a crisp white shirt. Incredibly clean and polished look. Not fun - elegant, professional. But if you get too large a size, it can look too fun/trendy, IMO.
If I was in your shoes, since you have a round watch already I would go with the Tank for shape or color variety. Both beautiful watches, so you can't go wrong. Pick the one you like the most so you have no regrets. You posted two pics of the BB, so maybe that one is your fav since you can't stop looking at it and you're just considering the Tank because it seems nice since so many here have it, but it seems safe. Buy what you want to wear today.
