Hello! Panthere watch has held up great but I've only had this particular watch since the end of December. The quality is amazing! I would say the quality of all Cartier watches is amazing! The major difference between ss vintage and new ss is the following:
-The new watch is all polished steel, the vintage was not.
-The roman numerals on the new version are slightly bigger.
Here are the photos, vintage and new.

It's half polished, half brushed. Here is the video of the vintage:


So glad I found this thread! I've been debating between the mini and small Panthere, and all these photos and info makes me more confident the small is best for me.

Took me a while to realize: a quick way to tell the difference between mini vs small is that the mini does NOT have roman numerals. And, the mini is REALLY mini.

Curious, do the new watch boxes have a black interior, with a black pillow for the watch? This vintage box seems to have a nicer white 'pillow' that's more structured for the watch to be stored in.

Yes the new watch box comes with black interior and pillow. The small is a great size, hope to see yours soon :)
 
I’m so glad I have found this thread! I was trying on some bracelets this past weekend at our local jeweler with my husband to see how I liked the feel of a bangle as I’ve had my eye on a love bracelet for our anniversary. When I asked to try on a watch similar to mine to get an idea of size/stacking I tried on the small panthere in ss and yg and now I can’t stop thinking about it! Would you be team watch or bracelet because I’m leaning heavily to watch now!!

I love both panthere and love bracelet. It took me a while to decide on the love bracelet. I wear it all the time and loving it. I got it almost a year ago. I got the original panthere watch many many years ago, then traded it in for another watch. When it came back in 2017 in the market, I fell in love with it again and ended up getting ss with diamonds (small size). I love the design of it so much that I am even thinking of getting YG one eventually. Both are amazing items and you can't go wrong either way. Both pieces are absolutely stunning and classic! Let me know which one you decide to go for first.
 
I love this watch so much and think I need it after seeing all these pics! I recently got the Tank Louis Cartier watch but will be saving up for this beauty too
Isn't this amazing? I love this watch too!! I have it in ss with diamonds but I think I will be ready for YG soon after seeing all these amazing pictures. Which one are you planning on getting? SS, YG, PG, two tone, plain vs diamonds?
