POLL : casual daily watch CARTIER OR ROLEX (no bling)

[sunny100]

Both watches are beautiful, I think the ballon bleu is very unique looking, it's really gorgeous IRL. For the value of money, I'd go for the Rolex. If you don't already have a Rolex, go for it first & get the Cartier later on.

Another vote for Rolex.

I like white gold or platinum watches(no diamonds) for every day both in Cartier and Rolex. They are not as blingy as yellow gold and half the time I don't think people really know if they are really gold.

I pick Rolex as casual daily - it withstands more abuse, a very 'hardy' watch lol. I have had Cartier, and was afraid to bang it against anything, and thus did not wear it daily. It was a YG Tank Francaise. I did end up cracking the sapphire on the set-screw (oh what the heck is the name? The piece that pulls out to set the time. Gads I'm gettin' old and senile!~)

I like the Rolex, I am not a fan of the Ballon Bleu, BUT, if the Roadster was up for discussion, I prefer it over all options

i agree

thanks guys!

i have yet to try the cartier BB -- i am afraid it will be a tough decision!

 

[ETenebris]

Definitely the Rolex. That Cartier Roadster is nice, but the other model doesn't do it for me. But I am a Rolex girl, anyway!

Well, pazt I slept on it and I am casting a vote for the BB! I'm basing my decision on obviously my preferences but also your distinctive diaper bag & other action pics of yours I've seen - timeless yet distinctive.

thanks crazy4french -- im leaning towards the cartier mself just because i have 2 other rolex watches and i have yet to own a cartier. DH has a cartier SS roadster chrono but im not considering matching him either.

then i later flip to getting a rolex because i want a rosegold/SS watch

Cartier BB, but only like it in 1 tone. Rolex all look the same, same old boring design.

OK, tried on both watches -- and i am going for rolex (i think, for now)....but im very confused now as to which rolex to get. so many choices :

34 airking SS with pink face and diamond markers oyster bracelet and round bezel
31 datejust SS with pink face and diamond markers oyster bracelet and fluted bezel
36 datejust SS/everose with black face and diamond markers oyster bracelet and round bezel

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-I personally don't like the look of a fluted bezel with oyster bracelet. I'm going to go with the pink Air King.

 

[Hedgie]

Definitely Rolex.

YES - pinkdial w/ diamonds along with roman numerals! so cool (but the diamonds are a tad smaller than the regular dia.markers to give room for the numerals....so cool!
