Hi there! I am in dire need of advice... I don't know which watch to buy!
I currently own a Panerai (Pam 40, white face) and I wear it on a leather strap. I am in my late 20s, petite, work freelance and usually attend events in the evening so I can either be casually dressed or rather dressed up, depending on the day!

I am looking for a second watch and ignoring the prices, which would you choose? Please keep in mind I have very small wrists! 40mm is the biggest I can handle...

1) Rolex Daytona- SS and YG mix, black face

2) Cartier Ronde Louis- 18kt Rose Gold, Ladies

3) IWC Portuguese ChronoAutomatic - Rose Gold with Brown leather strap

Initially I was after a dress watch, but the Daytona really caught my eye. However, I don't want to spend so much $ on a fashion trend and I already have a Panerai... My dream watch right now is the Daytona RG, so I don't want to 'settle', KWIM? This has been on my mind for a whole week now so please, put me out of my misery! :p

THANKS!

Can you post photos so we don't have to look up all of them?

W/o seeing pics of the exact IWC it's hard to choose. I'd choose Rolex based on your list, but it's possible I'd prefer the IWC, I really love them!

I'm not a fan of leather straps. And the big face of the rolex may overwhelm your tiny wrists. It's really a men's watch. (I know..a lot of women like it too.)

Have you looked at the Cartier line? How about this watch?

You could wear it for casual, dressy events, etc. It could be worn tight or loose. I prefer it loose like a bracelet. Just opening your options..
