If offered one for a Christmas present? Healthy budget.

I would love this one.
I have a Tag Aquaracer which I love but it's very heavy.

I have an Omega Aqua Terra, it’s lovely. Battery ran out during first lockdown so it’s been in the drawer for months, must get a replacement battery

I have a beautiful Gucci watch in silver, at least 15 years old and was only a few hundred quid.

Cartier tank francaise

Bellsandwhistle · 10/12/2020 20:23

So far the Cartier tank solo or francais or panthere plus omega de ville are from runners I think....

Have you tried any on yet? I thought I wanted a Cartier tank or the Omega constellation but didn’t get the vibe from either when I tried them on

Bellsandwhistle · 10/12/2020 20:32

Or this one - Cartier...

I have a very understated men’s rolex. No bling.

I always get compliments on it.

Bellsandwhistle · 10/12/2020 20:33

Ditto. Wanted a Cartier originally but far prefer the rolex

Bellsandwhistle · 10/12/2020 20:39

Which Rolex?

Cartier tank or a Rolex datejust in steel and rose gold

theantsgomarchin · 10/12/2020 20:48

I have a bimetal Rolex lady datejust and it's my most favourite possession

I have a Cartier Tank Francais, as listed at 20.26. Also a Rolex Datejust in Steel and gold. I also have a Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso Duetto. Plain on one side and diamonds on the other. I have an 80s Omega Seamaster and a 20s Rolex and a 50s Ebel. DH has a fairly decent collection too. I like the Tag Heuer Monaco. Not sure if they do a ladies’ version, but it’s a classic.

The Cartier is battery powered. The Rolex is automatic. The others are manuals. The Rolex is expensive to service but I don’t have it done every 2 years!

My next choice would be a Patek Philippe. If you ever go to Geneva, take a look around their museum. Prepare to be in watch heaven!

whiteroseredrose · 10/12/2020 20:57

Ah. I'm getting a Cartier Tank next year when I can try one on. I didn't realise they were so popular though!

AgeLikeWine · 10/12/2020 21:01

I’ve got a men’s Rolex, too. It’s a plain black Submariner on a steel bracelet. I’ve had it for years and I love it. Men definitely notice it more than women. I would like to think I look as cool wearing mine as Charlize Theron does wearing hers, but I know I really don’t...

Ooh! I’ve found an old photo of my Tank Francaise that’s currently away for a service. The French manicure dates it!

Cartier panthere. Vintage classic and feminine

JaceLancs · 10/12/2020 22:22

Also have a solid gold vintage cocktail style omega which I wear when I’m more dressed up
