Cartier Roadster...what color dial?

diamondfan Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,995 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/17/2005	I am getting a Cartier Roadster, the regular ladies stainless steel. I really love the pink face, but I am concerned it will be less neutral and that I will get tired of it. The silver white tone face is nice, I really think either is a good option, but wanted to see if anyone has the watch and has an opinion...Thanks in advance... **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

diamondfan Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,995 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/17/2005	The pink is nice, more of a coppery or rose gold tone, but I am just concerned with overall versatility. It is not like a bright pink by any means, more subtle, and like nothing I have, so I really was leaning towards it til I tried both on. Then I decided I liked both, but thought the white face was more practical... **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

diamondfan Ideal Rock Total Posts: 10,995 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/17/2005	I will post them when I get it. I do have a watch thing, I am really into the heavier look now. I have some really nice ones, some are more dressy and some are more sporty. I did not know that the watch comes with a leather strap and you can swap it quite easily...clever of them to do, makes it even more versatile. I also love the Teslar round watch with diamonds, I have the longer shaped one with diamond lugs, Oprah loves it, it has pennies in it since copper is supposed to be healing or something. I am definitely building my collection...treating myself a bit here! **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	I was gonna say the silver/white, but if you have that many watches, I'd go for the pink. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Personally, I would go with the white...I would NEVER have to worry about it "working" with my outfits....BUT pink would be really neat and I am sure it would look great on you, no matter what you are wearing that day!!!!

Rock Candy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 631 Last Post: 7/7/2009 Member Since: 9/14/2006	What is the face color of your other watches? If they are MOP/white/silver, then I would choose the pink. It sounds like you really love the pink. You could always wear one of your other watches if you feel the pink clashes with your outfit - but honestly, I think the pink would go with everything.

But, I was more immune, living in Philly has thickened my blood...when I lived in LA 60 was coat weather and it is not to me anymore! I saw women in LA in the Coffee Bean and shopping around that had on SHEARLINGS, gloves and scarves...I had on a t shirt and light sweater, but they looked like we would look here on a day in the 30's! **************************** "There is no such thing as fun for the whole family-there are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry" Jerry Seinfeld

asscherisme Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,501 Last Post: 10/29/2009 Member Since: 3/6/2006	Enjoy it! I have a baume and mercier watch that I wear everyday. I had a similar problem when I got it a few years ago. I could not decide between white and baby blue colored face. I loved the blue but worried about it not being practical and matching everything. Ultimately I went with the blue and have never regretted it. It goes with everything! I think either choice would have worked for you. If you love the pink and the pink speaks to you but you choose the white due to practicalityk, I would exchange it for pink! Afterall a cartier is a splurge and you should get what really speaks to you!!
