Some Input

Last week I went and bought a platinum yatty which i love and then a few days later I purchased a new Cartier tank solo. Having some trouble deciding whether to keep the tank or return it and get a Omega 2264.00 ? Which would be a better choice?

I prefer the Omega. Not a big fan of Cartier watches.

I'm also an Omega person (and not too much of a Cartier fan). Of course, the Blake Seamaster gets my vote! It's a fairly versatile watch too.

I'm a very big omega fan. But also have a huge appreciation for Cartier.

In this case, keep the Cartier. And I love my seamaster. Still

Omega trumps Cartier in my book.

Two completely different watches for completely different purposes. One is a sports watch and the other a dress watch. Your Yachtmaster is a sports watch so perhaps you should keep the Cartier Tank solo. Having said that I absolutely love both my Seamasters. But I also have dress watches.

Attended a Cartier event a few weeks ago; I am impressed with what they are doing. Even during dinner, one of the corporate officials made a VERY strong comment on the Tank. Its design has been kept for 99 years. Talk about a classic!

I love both myself and have 2 Seamasters and a Cartier Tank Solo in my collection. Obviously the Omega would be more of an everyday watch and is more versatile.

x2. Also what is your wardrobe and how do you spend majority of your time? The Tank is a classic (similar to Rolex DJ) but if you tend toward a more rugged lifestyle it wouldn't be suitable as it's best for smart casual to dressy attire. I also see YM as a refined sports watch which leans toward smart casual because of the platinum.

I love my Rolex watches but would never give up my Tank because it's so timeless.
