I have the desire to add a yellow gold watch to my collection:blush: My current collection consists of the small Cartier panthere RG two-tone with diamonds (which was my first luxury timepiece and also has a special meaning behind its purchase) and Rolex datejust YG/SS two-tone with diamonds and MOP face, 31mm.

I love the panthere in YG... but I already have a panthere, I don't necessarily want two of the same model and I don't want to sell my current one either :no: so, the YG panthere isn't an option and I don't love the Tank... then, I started to think about the Ballon bleu in YG ??? I've always loved the ballon bleu style, and originally that was going to be my first timepiece, but I happened to fall more in love with the panthere when I went to the boutique to buy the ballon... last time I was at the boutique, I was drawn to the SS ballon, blue silvered face with diamonds, but maybe getting it in YG is the answer? I would do a 33 mm, btw.

I would love some feedback from YG ballon bleu owners!
Do you love it? Think it's fancier? How often do you wear it? Pros/cons/literally any feedback would be appreciated!


To add, I mix metals with my daily jewelry (as to why my other two watches are two-tone). I don't take off my YG Love and YG/diamond bangle, both worn on right hand (the attached pic was taken before I moved the Love to my other hand). I typically always wear my e-ring stack, which is platinum. Timepiece on my left arm. Then I have a RG tennis bracelet and RG juste en clou I will sometimes throw in the mix.

aww, thank you:blush: I can't remember all the specs anymore, but I do know the main stone is 5 ct. and triple X. The wedding band has 8 stones that are .4 ct. each. I have since added a diamond spacer band also, to prop the e-ring up higher. There's also a hidden halo

And I’ve been dreaming of the YG ballon more. Im going to try to take a trip to the store next week to try on!

Absolutely incredible both with and without the smaller band in between! I hope you love the watch

I think you should get the Rolex to have a little variety in your watch collection.
I love all your rings, where is the one on your pointer finger from please?

I already have that Rolex and cartier panthere.

My dilemma is that I was originally drawn to the ballon in SS with silver face/diamonds, but I want a YG watch… so I was looking for some feedback on the YG BB, bc idk which BB I should get…

And thank you! I showed my jeweler a pic and he made it or maybe he found the style from his vendor and special ordered? Not too sure… but I got it from my local jeweler

SS BB with diamonds is gorgeous!
You should definitely try on the YG BB to see if you like it on your skin.
Actually my friend has YG BB with diamonds and it looks spectacular. So it is all about trying it on and matching to your current stacks and your finances off course.

Your ring is breathtaking!!!
