Help please! Cartier or Frank muller? images

Hi guys,
I am hoping you can help me out here.
I now have 5 Rolexes, so I decided to go for another brand this year.
I stared out wanting to buy a Frank Muller, but them my local AD is selling a beautiful solid gold mens Cartier Panthere. ( see image) I didn't know Cartier did this model until now.
I really don't know what to go for, he said that the Panthere model has been discontinued now, so should I buy this Cartier this year and the Frank muller next year? What a dilemma!
Thanks

I don't love either.

I don't really even like either.

I like cartier's pasha, and calibre lines. Not a fan of FM.

Not a huge fan of Cartier or Frank Muller same for Patek just don't like there style of watches and would never buy a watch just to wear that brand.But everyone to there own watches are like cars some you like some you don't.

I like Cartier, but that specific model doesn't do it for me.

I really like the Roadster and the Ballon Bleu, there are a few of the tank and square smodels that are nice, but the two I mentioned and the Calibre de Cartier are my favorites.

And I do think that watch is a bit small for a men's watch.

Frank Muller had some nice designs and models, for the right price I would consider them, but the brand doesn't have strong resale values, so I would be sure to buy used.

Cartier, for me. The 27mm size is a bit small, but the gold with gold bracelet is a pretty bold look, so if you like it, buy it. The Cartier is obviously a very dressy watch, and understated dimensions are appropriate.

Of the two Cartier. You might be one of the first forum posters in a while to mention the Mueller name... thought it was 1999 again ;) JK
