Men's Carrera simply because it's automatic. That's a deal breaker for me now. I wouldn't consider one that isn't mechanical.

I have the women's 32 Carrera automatic in diamonds but the best thing about it for me is the craftsmanship of the movements. Yes it's not a Panerai or even Omega, but there is something beautiful about wearing that level of detail hidden on your wrist. Also, my 2000 Series from 1996 keeps the time better and doesn't run out of reserves, but it is no where near it in terms if usage. I think unfortunately they've discontinued the women's automatic version?

And I think you can carry the bigger mens watch face. I don't think it's too big at all - it's fitting you JUST right because you're wearing the watch and you said you're already used to big ones. Good luck!

Great points! You're right, they no longer make the automatic ladies 32mm Carerra. The ladies I love the MOP dial but I love the size of the men's and that it is automatic, it just seemed special. I am use to wearing larger face watches and that's what have always preferred.

I agree with you, I think the larger sizes do look nice on my wrist. They look better in person then the pics portray them since the pics are up close. I'm going to go back again and try them on when I can spend more time there.

Well...you know I'm going to pick the black ceramic. Have you tried on the 37mm? That's what I have and it's a good size...I'm 5'10" for reference. Also, mine is an automatic.

The first watch and the smaller watch in the fourth photo.

I personally think the smaller watch in the fourth photo is the best looking and looks the best on you.

Love TAGs by the way. Will last you a long time.

Go for it! By all means enjoy having a play around with them on but I think for sure the larger size looks best on you. Automatic movement vs quartz battery is no comparison. And if you're more comfy then it shows. Go with what your initial instincts tell you and then think about what you'll love in the long term, and you'll have your answer!

ETA: though I love my watches and wouldn't change them as they were gifts, if I had to rechoose at the time I got the Carrera 7 years ago, I may have gone a men's version you're looking at. Maybe saved a little for a Calibre 1887 model. They had to change the movements of the women's auto version to fit the case, and while I can report it still works beautifully and is a great dress watch, I'd be just as happy if not more with the men's version.

I agree with Gixxer, that men's Carrera looks great on you! And having an automatic movement definitely adds to the experience of having a luxury watch! It was the one that really stood out for me.

Thank you! I went back in again to try them on and I am now leaning towards the men's Carerra like you said above. Around mid March Tag will be dropping the prices on their watches so I'm waiting until then to finalize my decision and purchase. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!
