Ladies Roadster OR midsize Tank Francaise

[steno11]

I have really enjoyed reading everyone's posts!! Thinking of buying and would love your opinions. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Tank or Roadster and if the Roadster, what color face would you choose?? I don't think I like the roundness of the Ballon Bleu but have not seen it or any for that matter IRL. Thanks

Both are beautiful watches so you can't go wrong either way. I personally prefer the Roadster and I would go with a white face. Good luck in making this very fun decision!!

Originalheather, Oh I am glad you posted as I didn't know that the Roadster came in a white dial as that is what I would want.

I have and love the Tank, so that's what I'd pick! Eternally classic.

I have the Tank in the midsize and it is a fabulous watch. My watch is over 10 years old, but it is such a classic that I am sure I will be wearing it for at least another 10 years.

dbeech, is the midsize Tank still a nice dressy/casual watch, or would you say more casual? I want something that can be for dressy as well as everyday.

Roadster...white or silver face.

Roadster, what face.

 

[steno11]

Cartier_love, I assume you meant white face? That is what I would get on either watch. I can't decide!!

Tank, looks great day and night. I find Roadster more of a casual watch and doesn't go with evening/cocktail dresses.

It is one of those watches that you can wear everyday and also for evenings out, particularly in the midsize. I think the smaller size is more dressy.

You can also purchase a croc or leather band for it which adds more versatility to the watch. I can't change the band myself, but it only takes a few minutes at the Cartier store.

I would go with the Roadster, but I don't really have a nightlife...
