Sooo...I already have a

  • Rolex two tone jubilee no diamonds bracelet watch
  • Rado ceramic watch no diamonds
  • Chanel J12 33mm white no diamonds
  • Chopard two tone older watch with round face bracelet...from my mom's collection
  • Raymond Weil gold and silver watch I got when I was still in HS
Ever since I got my J12 earlier this year, I have been wearing it 80-90% of the time...I just love how chic it looks and how its so durable etc

I was considering getting at least one of the following:
  • Chanel J12 33mm in BLACK no diamonds
  • Chopard happy diamonds--but not sure which one...just one of the ones with the colorful icons--diamonds, sapphires, etc inside...and not sure on bracelet or rubber strap, etc
  • and maybe a Rolex Daytona but I dont know on this yet...maybe the face will be too big on me? (i'm 5'0 and 105lbs...and have a small wrist)
Are there any others you would recommend I consider?

I dont want anything too blingy--thats why I usually shy away from diamonds on my watches with the exception of the Chopard Happy diamonds...

I also prefer bracelet over straps I guess...
 
I'm sorry I can't advise you, as it seems you already have the most beautiful collection and any of the other choices you've listed are icing on the cake! I am sooooooooo envious!
 
I am also advocating the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reversos. I think its my dream watch. I would get the Automatique Grande in rose gold!!! That is if money was no object to me. I think the reversos are worth looking at especially if bling isn't that important to you. What I like about Jaeger-LeCoultre is the company manufactures its own movements which makes it a truly exclusive brand in watch collecting.

You already have a beautiful collection and I think a reverso would be something unique among the pieces you already have lol

I also agree the Ballon Blue is beautiful. I personally would love to have a Tank Americain, but even if I had the money, I would hesitate to buy it b/c of it's alligator strap (hmm I wonder if it comes in a bracelet strap...).

Have fun augmenting your collection!

Wow the Cartier Ballon Bleu is actually really nice...I'm also more yellow gold person than white gold and I like round faces more than rectangular (i think) the only rectangular Ive liked so far was the Cartier tank but is it bad to say i find them somewhat common and i wasnt sure i loved it enough???

This is the ballon bleu in pink gold
and i would definitely get small or medium at most because the face may just cover my whole wrist LOL

I know Nathalie!!!

Well, these are just some options I guess--I'll have to go in and try them on and see first... =)

I wonder though if it will show scratches a lot on the cartier ballon bleu cos I was considering either pink gold or yellow gold...since i have 2 tones already and more silver watches...

also would you find it too "bling bling"
LOL
 
If you already have a J12 , go for something different. Anyway, I think you already have such a great watch collection. I wish one day I'll have great watches like yours :) .

I'm not a fan of Rolex and Chopard so I would suggest a Cartier "Pasha" or "Roadster".
 
From the 3 you have listed, I'd pick the Rolex Daytona.

I have small wrists too (5'2 90+lbs), but I feel that Big watches tend to look best on small wrists.
The Cartier Ballon Bleu is very pretty in RG! And since most of your watch bracelets are 2 toned, it will be something different.

I like the hip shape of the Cartier Divan too, it'll be rather different from what you have, "Big" like your J12, and satisfy the need for a 'Black' Watch.
 
SoOOOO i ended up with (and didnt anticipate this at all)

-Cartier Ballon bleu small in rosegold (too bad its not automatic or has the date though)

-Chopard happy beach watch with blue croco strap

-Chanel J12 in black 33mm no diamonds

kinda crazy i knoww!!!
 
Nice choices. I've a small wrist but I love to wear big watches. Totally agree with Accessorize*me - I would have gone for the Rolex Daytona. Nevertheless, I love your final 3 choices as well.
