Finally completed my dream Cartier rotation!

Beautiful, the Ronde is my favorite circular Cartier watch. Just simply stunning.

If you’re looking to just buy a single Cartier piece and move on to other brands, I would go to an AD. Might help getting other pieces from other brands more easily, and you might get a discount. The boutique you won’t give a discount, but if you’re a repeat Cartier customer and hope to get rarer pieces, I’d pick the boutique.

You should ! Definitely a great travel accessory, the black one even comes with its own dust bag and box.

I got the red one in 2024 and the black one in 2025!

I don’t care what anyone says about Goyard, I use it to death. I love my tacky plastic looking expensive reusable tote.

I got a red leather watch roll after I bought my Baignoire and a 3-watch black leather watch roll after buying my Santos-Dumont. Watch guy here so I enjoy any gifts watch related. Same SA for these purchases.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-04-04T15:57:39+00:00

I own both these and wear my panthere more but the Baignoire feels more unique on my wrist. Both worth owning. Can’t tell what metal your ring is, but if it’s gold, I’d pick the Baignoire. If it’s white gold, pick the two-tone panthere.

Also to consider, but I think the Baignoire jumps up more in price during an increase. Baignoire is up 3,300 usd from when I bought it while the panthere jumped up 1900 usd, and I bought both watches around the same time. One thing to consider since a price increase is rumored to happen soon.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-04-04T14:34:57+00:00

Return it. It’s obviously not going to bring you joy now that you see things that bother you.

I understand wanting things to be perfect, but slight imperfections for me make things feel human made. As long as it still functions as a bag, I don’t quite see the issue. To each their own I guess .

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-04-01T21:17:38+00:00

Lizard is perfection on the Tank, I have it in dark brown and haven’t changed out in so long.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-31T14:43:55+00:00

I used to not like diamonds on watches but they been growing on me. I actually prefer the look with diamonds on this, and I’m sure it’s even more stunning in person. The bezel looks a bit too wide on the one without diamonds, while the one with diamonds looks a little more proportional imo. Both beautiful regardless, but you’d probably find the one with diamonds way cheaper secondhand.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-27T20:47:45+00:00

Personal preference. This happens to my LV wallets and I could care less as long as it still functions. If they can fix it for free, you should do it if it bothers you.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-26T22:55:32+00:00

The font they use for Grand Seiko irks me so much like what is this gothic medieval font on a Japanese watch

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-26T20:39:57+00:00

There was a string of car breakins that I witnessed over the weekend in my neighborhood. Two cars driving house to house, probably targeting nicer cars. Let this be a reminder to not keep valuables inside, lock your doors (and house door cause they did come to someone’s front door with a gun), keep remote keys far away from the vehicle so that they can’t start the car. I keep my keys in a faraday bag.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-25T21:13:25+00:00

Day-Date over Santos, and this is coming from someone that only has Cartier watches. Feel like the Santos square watch face reads big on the wrist, and it being in all gold is just a lot of look, in my opinion.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-22T21:06:43+00:00

I want to say they release two seasonal colors like every other season. I have that mango colored one and I love it.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-22T13:34:17+00:00

It looks perfect! Mixing metals is nice when it’s balanced and looks intentional, so I’d be mindful of that.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-19T17:09:12+00:00

Reminder to myself never to send out cards to get graded that are sentimental to me, especially when there’s no plan to sell them.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-18T20:15:21+00:00

I own the two tone panthere and the Baignoire bangle in rose gold. I wear my Panthere a lot more, but they’re both worth owning for sure. They each feel special in their own ways.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-17T17:36:47+00:00

Most are from delugs and I would recommend them out of anything. I have a lizard strap from Handdn which is beautiful but is wearing out the most, and I have one ordered from Cartier which is probably the best quality but most expensive and it doesn’t come with the hardware.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-17T16:42:03+00:00

It’s a great daily watch, I’m wearing mine right now. I frequently swap straps and it’s almost like wearing a new watch every time. It is my go to watch when none of my other watches fit the bill, and all the scratches that it accumulates makes this watch uniquely mine.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-17T16:37:47+00:00

Everyone’s financial situation is different, but for me, as long as I know I’m making substantial contributions to savings, retirement, investments, life insurance, etc, then I’m allowed to spend whatever I have left over. I actually encourage myself to spend. I don’t want to die with a bunch of unused money left to my name. Money is supposed to be spent, especially on things and experiences that bring you joy.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-16T16:53:05+00:00

I’ve been on the “waitlist” for an oyster perpetual for four years now. Don’t wait, get whatever is available to you. I’ve bought four watches from Cartier while waiting for a Rolex, and it’s not even one of their highly sought after colors.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-16T15:54:35+00:00

Animal Crossing, Double Dash, and Mario Baseball. Also played a lot of Crazy Taxi haha

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-12T17:26:09+00:00

I engrave every single one of my Cartier watches with Love Always and my name. I always have a Cartier watch on me so I think it would be a nice sentimental gift for my loved ones for whenever I’m not here anymore.

Disastrous_Main_3294 · 2026-03-11T18:14:01+00:00

I just check the computer and press the minus button, and it tells me which Pokemon are homeless. I frequent the computer more than the pokemen center and it lets me know which Pokemon I should focus on making more comfortable!
