Both companies make great watches that will last a lifetime. If going for a Tank, I would go for the classic which is the "Louis Cartier Tank." I believe the one in your photos is the flatter cased Tank Solo.

If you are really tough on watches I'd probably tell you to go with the Rolex, as its a more rugged case, has greater water resistance, and its on a bracelet so you won't have to replace straps every 3 years or so.

If you want a more rugged Cartier on a bracelet perhaps you should consider the Tank Francaise.

Good luck!
 
Thank you, ladies...for your input. More likely, I would get Rolex. As what the jetsetmsx mentioned, the strap is also a consideration. I like both styles as in the pics above. Time to save up harder....;)
 
Rolex is considered to be the real watch company when Cartier is more like a jewelry company tat makes watches too. The mechanism of Rolex watches is made by Rolex only when Cartier purchases the mechanisms.

I have both Cartier BB and Rolex watches but I prefer Rolex because it has a date, it is very useful.
