Help me decide which Cartier watch to get

I have a medium panthere and a 36 mm ballon bleu and love them both! I heard rumors that the BB might have the bigger price increase soon, so might put that into consideration. Also whether you prefer quartz (panthere) versus automatic (BB). It’s not a huge deal to re-set the BB, but the panthere is super convenient to slip on and go. I would suggest choosing one for a more casual look and in the future choosing the other with diamonds for a dressier look.
 
Santos! I think the Panthere is dated and the BB is cartoonish to my eye.

No diamonds for day wear in my book.

All that being said, as you can see - I’m an outlier. And I'm ok with that. You are going to get as many opinions as people round here and those opinions are based upon their age, style and so on. Which are all likely different from yours. So pick what you like and wear it and love it. If you don’t have a strong feeling about any of them, maybe keep looking…
 
I love how the BB looks on you. However, when I think Cartier watch, I don't usually think of a round watch. I personally love the Santos but I think the Panthere looks great on you. Sorry I'm probably not helping :P

All 3 look good on your wrist, but the one that’s stands out more is the Ballon, love the dial compared to the other two. I think the curved dial case also brings a softness, whilst the other 2 look more harsh.
Is there anyone out of the 3 you’re more drawn to? I’d pick that! Gold luck with deciding.

Thank you everyone! I am leaning towards the Panthere as it is different to anything else I own. Knowing me I’d probably buy the other in a few years

I brought a diamond JUC for the time being and will go for the Panthere later in the year (the question will be diamonds or no diamonds)

Santos looks a bit big on your wrist, I really love the look of the BB on you - maybe take a look at the one with diamond hour markers ? Always loved that one !
