Help with Decision on Cartier Panthere Gold Watch w or wo Diamonds

[JolieS]

I’m going to go against the flow of opinion about whether to wear the watch and bracelet together. To me the JUC is a witty, ironic piece, as in “we can take a common nail and make a piece of high jewellery,” while the Panthère couldn’t be more classic. Stylistically I don’t think they harmonize or complement each other.
As for diamonds or not, both watches look lovely. It is just a question of what suits your lifestyle best. Not a good idea to get after-purchase diamond embellishment - destroys the value of the watch.
Good luck in your decision!

Love to know what you decided! Having same dilemma ... yg small with or without diamonds ???

Hi! I ended up finding a vintage small yellow gold sans diamonds! The watch is beautiful and I wear it daily. I love how it looks like a bracelet and is understated. I also wear mine with all links as I like it loose and to slide around a bit! I have a plain yg love and a regular sized clou with diamonds. I wear the JUC daily, but have not been wearing the love lately, just because I like to have nothing on to workout while we are at home! Trying to figure that one out! With that said, I am looking at getting a dainty yg diamond bangle to wear with everything and possibly a thin yg love in the future!

What are you leaning towards? I think you cannot go wrong with either - both so beautiful! xx

I tend to agree with that! I love both pieces, and typically wear the watch on my left and JUC on my right. Maybe I have a "Cartier Clash" personality

Heres a photo of mine to show how the diamonds are set and as you can see its not too much for daily wear.

Goodluck on the decision.

Looks amazing! Which one did you decide to get (with or without diamonds)? I am thinking about the Panthere, going to try on different combinations this weekend. Did you have any issues with resizing? How many links did you have to remove?

Fully agree. Re diamonds or not: also agree that both are lovely. In my opinion you need to try on both and immediately you will know which one is for you. I had the same „dilemma“ and knew immediately when putting both on that for me it was gonna be the one without diamonds.

By the way: in order to keep the value of the solid gold watch: keep the original box and receipt. Get the watch checked every five years by cartier. Do not embellish or change the watch. It will decrease the value of the watch.

Hello Everyone,
I'm in the same dilemma of with or without diamonds BUT on medium panthere RG. Going back and forth quite a few times to cartier boutique but still undecided. Can I get some opinion please 😟.
I'm going to pair it with my Love bangle (with 4 diamonds) but not on the same wrist (it scratches badly). I don't want the watch to be to flashy as it would mostly be a daytime watch but not too plain as well.

Thank you so much FOR YOUR HELP..💗
