I just bought the Cartier Ballon Bleu two tone 36mm automatic and now I am second guessing myself and wondering if I should get the smaller size 33mm instead... Or even the stainless Ladies Tank Anglaise... Eeek! I am tall and can carry off the large 36mm size but not sure if it is too "sporty". This is my first nice watch... Any suggestions?? I am 36 and want the watch to last...

Here is the watch on both wrists - i wear both platinum and yellow gold and sometimes move my bracelets around... Thoughts? Is this too big?
My everyday watch is the silver DY thoroughbred with diamond bezel and MOP face. Love it!!!
I have a ballon bleu 36 A as well and I don't think its too big I think its perfect on you...but ultimately since you want to have it forever make sure you love it 
go into the store and try the 33mm good luck

I agree. I think it looks lovely with your Cartier bracelets but you have to love it forever. Try on the 33mm in the store
Get the smaller watch. The one you have is beautiful, but does look sporty. The smaller size will look more elegant. I am so over the large watch. But that's just me.

I agree…I think it's a tad big on you…. I LOVE this watch and it's on my wish list too. I'd love to see you model for us the tank anglaise. I think I might like the shape better on your wrist but would love to see it. Can you post pics for us of the 33 BB as well as the tank anglaise to compare?
The 33mm is definitely a better size on my wrist. The watch store in town did not have the TT YG Anglaise or TT YG 33mm BB-automatic in stock today but will obviously restock soon).
Take a look!
