Cartier with suits as daily driver

I want to change my Rolex on something more elegant, art-deco. I have 4 variants from Cartier, that I really like to wear everyday with suits:
1) BB Steel W69012Z4
2) BB TTRG RG RN W6920095
3) Santos TTYG W2SA0006
4) Ronde Louis RG 36 W6800251
What do You think? What is the most appropriate variant from these 4 and why?
Many thanks!

I would get the 100th year tank anniversary in RG

or

The full yellow gold santos on bracelet.

Any of your other choices are great as well. Cartier is special.

Congratulations on your great taste.

Thanks for suggestions. Don’t like Reverso.

Haven’t seen such Tank version.
SS or TT. Full gold is too much for me.

The most "elegant" of the 4 is for sure the one on the strap.

For suits I would get the Ronde unless you can get the rose gold Santos on strap I would do that

I have a Pasha de Cartier Chronograph that's sporty yet elegant. I'd recommend!

Santos. But the blue dial version. Comes with bracelet and strap with easy quick change feature.

Among your choices, Santos

But among watches in that price range, JLC Reverso.

I'd pick the Santos our of the four. It'll look great on suits and be versatile enough to wear outside of work as well.

The Ronde isn't bad either if you need a dedicated dress watch.

Personally, I don't like the case/dial style of the BB, so wouldn't recommend them.

Of those choices, I'd go with the Santos. Given the choice of any Cartier, I'd go with the Americaine or Drive over the Santos.

Santos! Tried one on today. It’s a great dress and sports watch.

Santos! I just got one recently and it’s goes well with a suit or jeans/t-shirt. Fits so well on the wrist and the bracelet is beautiful. Highly recommend it!

I like the Ronde Louis RG 36 W6800251 best but I would also seriously consider the large (not extra large) Louis Tank for the same price or, better yet, a gold Reverso, Lange Saxonia, Breguet, Vacheron, or Patek.

Thanks very much for lots of suggestions.
Really like the look of this model. Some WoW effect for me. Not the best variant?

Does anyone think we will see the Santos Chronograph this year in the blue dial from the time only and full SS? They have not released the new chrono in full SS on bracelet (two tone, rose gold and ADLC only).

I feel like that watch would be killer on the bracelet and SS with a dark dial.
