Does anyone wear theirs in the shower? I understand it’s water resistant but so is my phone lol and I wouldn’t take that in the shower!!
Also, does anyone have a panthere and a Louis Vuitton keep it bracelet? I’m interested to see what they look like together!

Hey vsangel, I never wear any of my jewelry in the shower except for LB because I rarely take that off. I wouldn't wear Panthere in the shower. I wear Panthere and LB on different hands and they are different metals (ss and YG) but I do have it in my plans to get YG Panthere eventually. I would still wear them separately because they are such statement pieces and would look better on its own.

Hi everyone,
I am just hoping to get some advice on whether to go with the small or medium Panthere. I’m unable to go try it on as stores are closed here but my birthday is coming up and hoping to get it then, so I will be buying online unfortunately!
Now I’ve gotten a little creative and printed out both sizes hopefully to the exact measurement and attached some photos here. I’m not sure if you can tell much of a difference… i’d say I have a larger wrist and really just larger bones in general. However I’m really liking it to be more of a bracelet than a watch. I have a slight concern that the small will just look ridiculous but I really do love how it looks on all of you!! If you could please let me know your thoughts or if you need more photos let me know. :heart:
I like the medium on you the best for your arm size.

I have the medium two tone and I have a tiny wrist. I was after a "statement" look. I took out 3 links and usually wear it tight pushed up on my arm, but occasionally push it down to wear as a bracelet. I've had it 2 years. It is extremely comfortable and easy to wear with everything.
 
Mhm, good question.
For me, there had to be links removed. Otherwise the watch would just fall :biggrin:
So we tried around how much links. Four links were great, the watch would sit neat and proper around my arm and not move at all.
With three removed links, the watch is a little more loose. But it don’t spin around (that the Display is on the other side of my Arm) and it also don’t really sit low on my hand. So no, it is not annoying for me. But I also have to admit, I don’t wear structured or fittet Garments. I wear a lot of Blazers, but usually with rolled up sleeves. Same goes for Blouses or Cashmere sweater. Most of my items end above my wrist, except Coats and Outerwear. So last autumn I was not sure if the loose fit will annoy me, but it did not. We will see this year…
I tried removing 2 links but ss/diam was way too big so I ended up removing 3. Not sure if YG will be different, maybe removing 2 links would work but ss didn't look proper with only 2 links removed, the bracelet was way too big. But YG is different material, it is much heavier so I am curious to see how that will work out. BTW, in the US we had price increase twice since last summer for these watches.
 
Do you think it would look "off" to match a YG love bracelet with a SS panthere watch?

I don't think so, I found this video the other day, it is the SM and SS panthere, I think they look really nice together

Posting the link didn't work, but put "Unboxing | Panthère de Cartier Watch Mini" into the youtube search and it should come up.

The only reason why I personally wouldn't wear my bracelets on the same arm as my watch is to avoid the watch getting scratched

Aesthetically I think they look great together.
however I think I can't handle the scratches against each other.
Read from here before you can wear something else in between, like a cord. That'll separate them.

Hey vsangel, I posted a video in of the review of medium two tone panthere in this thread. Hope you find it useful. Another idea I have for you if it is possible to order both sizes and choose which one fits best? Then return one of them by mail? Do they provide free shipping/free returns? It seems that the medium size looks better on your wrist but by looking at this watch on its own, my personal opinion is that the small size is better in this shape. So I would suggest trying it on in both sizes. Once you do that, you would know right away which one is the winner. Hope the store opens up soon for you! Do you have the timeframe? Where I am people complain if it is closed for a week, LOL :smile:
 
Hi @vcaalhambra !! Gosh you’re just so helpful!! Thank you so much for all your suggestions!! I definitely will ensure I’ve seen both in the flesh before making the decision. I think I’ll be able to quickly try them on when I come to click and collect…! Although I really appreciate everyone’s help on choosing the size, I really am feeling the small better! I think that size will always be in fashion (I.e, tiny watches and large watches come and go). This watch is for a significant birthday so I’d love it to be something I’d wear forever! Maybe I’ll go for a larger one at another time:biggrin:

As for the lockdown…. who knows! Currently until end of September but it was supposed to be the end of July ahhh!

Thanks again you’re so amazing!
i’ll definitely let you know when I get it!

I feel for you, I know for me personally I can not live when the stores are closed; if I am not in the store once a week, I just don't feel alive. Luckily here we only had it for 3 months. I think people would just not allow it here any longer. Compare to what is going on in the rest of the world, this was just nothing here. I really hope they open it up soon! It's almost September so it should be here before you know it! Definitely try both, I personally think that this shape is so classic and it looks best at a smaller size. I think other models such as French Tank and Balloon Bleu look nice in both small and medium sizes but Panthere is at its best in small. Is there any way that you can do 'curb side pickup' and get to try it on? They've done it here, you just come to the store and SA brings it to your car and you can try it on. They also deliver it to people's houses to try on. Hope some of those options would work! Good luck and let me know what you end up getting!

Can I ask you what size this was? :smile:
That was small size! :) I ended up getting stainless steel with diamonds last December in small. I just couldn't get used to the two tone (but that is just me; others wear it without any issues). I'm thinking of YG with diamonds in small eventually but that is obviously a totally different price range, etc.

Hey Le Lion,
Not sure if I mentioned before but I ended up getting ss small Panthere with diamonds. At first I got the two tone but ended up exchanging it. I love it! Now I am thinking of the gold one. I just love Panthere design, there is nothing better than that! Hope you are enjoying yours too! If you have any other photos of it, would love to see it!

Hi again! If you don’t mind me asking I was just wondering why you returned the two toned one? Of course everyone’s preferences are different, just love to have an insight into your decision. :)

I also love the yellow gold version too but why does it have to be so expensive:sad: lol
