Please help me decide before the price increase! I recently got a mini tank and have been loving the look of the SS mini Panthere as well. I don't really have any silver colored jewelry pieces however my wedding stack is two-toned. Do I buy it now or save for other things that I have been wanting.. (from other brands - earrings, rings, etc) Thoughts?

I say if it's something you've been wanting, pull the trigger. I recently got the small after being a bit skeptical since I don't have any silver colored jewelry also. But I love it and I don't mind that I wear it with gold jewelry. It's so effortless and comfortable.
 
I think the mini is cute and agree buying before price increase. But I voted no since you mentioned you recently bought a mini tank. When the mini watch trend dies down, I thought you may miss having a non-mini size.
Thank you, this is something I was thinking about as well.... was wondering if mini is just a trend. I decided against it and will go for TT small someday. 😉

Love this decision! I also was debating whether or not I should get the SS small Panthere before the PI. Ultimately I’ve decided not to for a few similar reasons:

-I also just bought the Tank Louis mini a few weeks ago and don’t think I need to buy another watch so soon; I want to be able to fully enjoy my tank LC (and I already rotate it out w/ my Rolex DJ; not sure I need to add a 3rd timepiece into the mix now lol!).

-I’m more of a two-tone or all-gold girl tbh, so I think I may end up preferring to get the Panthere in one of those options in the future.

-I would rather take some time to really consider which option would be best for my style and lifestyle, and save up for one of the pricier options than to pull the trigger on the SS one now and end up preferring a different model in the future.

-I like to tie my luxury purchases to milestones whenever possible; my mini tank celebrated a recent milestone so I think I can wait to add the Panthere to celebrate a future milestone birthday or event.

-I think I want the small size, but am not 100% sure yet; need to think about it some more.

Anyway, although I still love the SS version and may ultimately end up getting that one … I don’t think i’m
ready to pull the trigger just yet, so I’m OK with paying a bit more in the future to ensure I make the right choice.

Miss Classy&Fab, I loveeee to read your responses. They're always so thoughtful and well written. :heart:

Congrats on your Mini Tank Louis! Would love to see some photos if you're comfortable! We are now twins! Not only with regard to the matching Tanks but I 100% agree with every single one of your reasons on not getting the Panthere. :giggle: I'm also more of a TT or yellow gold girl, and silver colored jewelry also seems to be trending right now which is probably why I'm kind of drawn to it. I feel the mini SS Panthere is super cute and goes well with my wedding stack since my wedding stack is TT but the rest of my jewelry pieces are YG so that also made me feel a bit hesitant to get it. Will wait til my heart is screaming for something else... lol.

You are SO kind; thank you! Your post just made my whole week. 😊💙 I always worry about being too loquacious, but I’m a writer by profession so I can’t help being wordy! 🤷‍♀️😂

Anyway, to stay on topic, thank you so much for the congratulations! I’m so delighted to finally be twinning with you and will definitely post some pics on the appropriate thread once I start wearing it — I’ve honestly just been admiring it in its box since I got it but will start using it soon. 😍

Love that we are so aligned in taste; I feel the exact same about the mini Panthere in SS and was this close to buying it, haha, but decided to practice restraint and give it some more thought. I’m sure I will one day add a Panthere to my collection, but I need to take a beat to figure out which one is best for me (and also for my bank account to recover lol!) … perhaps we will have made up our minds before the next PI, although hopefully that’s not for at least another year! 😬🤞😅💙
