Should I go with a Cartier?

Santos Dumont

I think I have both of those, in stainless. I know I have a Cartier that is the demoiselle, and the B and M I have is older and is a rectangular bracelet watch. They are both great but I think the Cartier, being very shiny stainless, scratched easily. I am not sure how you are getting it, in gold or what, but I noticed it. Depends on the look you want, Ebel also makes some nice watches, as does Bedat...

HI:

I have had a few "reliable" watches over the years; Omega''s, Concords and at present a stainless steel Ebel.  Despite the different styles and having different features, I found all kept accurate time and looked great with daily use.  One complaint I had about the Saratoga (Concord) was the clasp...it was often in need of "adjustment" to keep it closed on my wrist.

Even though I am considering a Cartier Banginoire as a new dress watch, I''ll never give my Ebel up entirely, as it is a sturdy, good looking, time piece.

cheers--Sharon
