Took the pic when I got into work this morning. Anyone has strap ideas? Getting bored of the black.

Any brown calf or shell strap from a decent leather craftsman would work

Any recommendation where to get good carbon fibre strap? Any opinions on carbon fibre vs kevlar?

sorry guys, pardon me the watch noob here.

was thinking of getting a watch for the wifey as a push gift..

considering the below watches and am super undecided...was wondering if u guys here have any views? :(

she dresses quite feminine ie dresses etc, petite size (hence was thinking not too large a watch). thinking a day 2 day watch, rather than a dress one.

1) Cartier Ballon Bleu 33mm
http://www.cartier.sg/en-sg/collect...er/w6920071 ballon bleu de cartier watch.html

my top choice..looks v classy and less common piece suited for day2day wearing and looks ok for a function as well. But friend of mine said BB is very new, not classic cartier and i shld look at Tank or Santos etc. and that the movement sux, spoil easily. really?

2) Tank Francaise
http://www.cartier.sg/en-sg/collect...-francaise/wsta0005 tank française watch.html

looks more dressy in my opinion..doesnt stands out for me. but its a classic cartier model..

3) Tank Anglaise
http://www.cartier.sg/en-sg/collect...nk-anglaise/w5310044 tank anglaise watch.html

looks like a middle grd between 1) and 2)... so for me its actually b/w Ballon and this..

what are your thoughts? especially if u have owned the above pieces..

yea tank solo is their most classic piece but looking for a steel bracelet piece, the leather strap on solo is nicer than the one on the bracelet. haiz..damn undecided. and if I throw in the JLC reverso in the mix....ok lets not go there.

felt the bracelet too chunky, the 33mm bracelet has a slight slant from wide to narrow.. hahha.. actaully i think ladies tend to prefer quartz..less hassle for them.
