I would´t´worry about a quartz movement. This doesn´t make the watch any less valuable. Most women "jewelry watches" are quartz.
I prefer the Tank Anglaise on you. I just love this watch, so classic, but yet with a modern twist.
Also if you are stuck on an automatic watch, I wouldn´t necessarily get a Cartier. Cartier is after all still a jewelry brand that does watches too.

This. Esp the part about going with another brand if you want true automatic movement.

I strongly prefer the look of the tank on your wrist. The shape is more flattering.
 
Thanks for your feedback. Do those CHANEL J12 watch have also both Quartz and Mechanical movement difference? What do people usually choose for J12?

Is that true? For investment perspective, Cartier quartz or mechanical retains same value in the long run?

A quartz movement will not hold value the same as an automatic movement. Watches are kind of like cars. Value drops the minute you put it on your wrist. So buy the watch that you love. If you want an automatic movement I echo the suggestion to look outside of fashion brands (Cartier, Chanel, etc). Your watch is something you look at multiple times daily. If you love watches enough that you want to buy a high end piece you should not settle.
