Time flies! More than a year ago I got this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono as a birthday present from my husband. Due to Covid, I haven't worn it much in the past year. It stays in the safe waiting, like me, for better times and opportunities to take it out.

Wow! So cool! This is the first time I see one on a ladies wrist. I always thought it's ways to big to be worn by a lady!

@blingastic I think you mean the 41 mm version, that one would definitely be too big. The one I have, is kind of a unisex version, with 39mm diameter, but it's still at the limit of what is wearable. It looks much larger than, for example, a Daytona, although that one is even 42mm in diameter. But the AP is just a different caliber, almost twice a Daytona, both in height and weight (and unfortunately also in price - lol).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm thrilled to be the new owner of the Cartier Tank Francaise! All the thanks goes to the one and only @diamondseeker2006 she kept it in absolutely impeccable condition and it is truly brand new! And thank you to @m-2-b for opening up my eyes to having a luxury watch in my collection. I truly feel so grateful to have this beautiful watch. This checks the luxury watch box for sure! Ok onto the pics! 20211231_163759.jpg 20211231_163716.jpg 20211231_162522.jpg

It looks wonderful on you, and I am so pleased it went to YOU! I hope you get a lot of enjoyment in wearing it! I just wasn't wearing it clearly (since it really is like new!), so it was waiting for a new home! I still love it and am glad it will be worn!

Thank you so much @LLJsmom It really is in impeccable condition and I will keep it the same! No stacking lol. I'll wear my tennis bracelet on the right when I wear the two.

Watches! have had some for over 2-3 decades, some are new I love Cartier watches, they are an easy wear for me My first Cartier watch lasted over 25 years, just recently parted with it 2FA29F04-3A07-4B4A-9540-350CAF21FF16.jpeg 20C494D7-7F13-4402-B9BC-9E8F1A60F946.jpeg A35062F9-411D-4D09-97B0-28A55D0DD88E.jpeg 8A22D33A-C6C1-4092-B4BE-8A9F99D1402D.jpeg 9AA3B41F-A625-4499-8D9A-B25A698561C9.jpeg 73FE6C93-026B-4B4A-B3D2-2D69F9AD5531.jpeg AB303184-CB4F-4175-879C-5E03F5D0C945.jpeg

Disregard oval diamond ring. I did not keep it (opted for emerald cut, it looked simpler to me)

Thanks. My most worn is the tank - day in and day out. 2nd most is gold tank — Cartier addiction. Wish my husband was into watches but he doesn’t wear or collect them much except for the occasional gift I give him
Haha, same for me. My husband always wears the same, if I buy him one, it stays in the closet. So do I have to live out my watch craze on my own. But I'm more of the Rolex type. I have a few of them, like, for example, the Day-Date here. But also Daytona's, Datejust's, Pearlmaster‘s, a GMT, two more Day-Date’s, in any case too many - lol!

Minerva triple date.
Circa 1950s
Movement V72C
Same movement used in rolex and Le coultre (before it became JLC)
Stainless steel bracelet.

it feels nice on the wrist-well proportioned for me.

Stunning watch. I love vintage watches! This looks perfect on you

One of my favorites (and also one of the few WG watches I have):
Rolex Pearlmaster in medium size

Sorry your eternity band is stealing the show for me! Can I ask the size of the diamonds in it, and your ring size? I love it.

The Rolex with the pink stones- I love this! Is that an aftermarket thing or do they make it like that? It’s subtle but wonderful and I’d love to learn more about it. Gorgeous collection! And your oval ring is stunning too!

Thank you, I am glad you like it! Stone size is around 0.61ct ( x 15 = 9.20 ctw), my ring size is seven and a half.
