Maybe a Panerai.  If you want to go in an extreme opposite direction a nice 40mm Panerai Pam 049 or 050 could fit the bill.

 

You never know.

Anyone Owns/Seen Master Ultra Thin 34mm ?

 
 By: djmm : April 15th, 2010-08:36
My partner is thinking to get a Cartier tank because she wants a watch with leather band. She has her eyes on Tank Solo. Whilst I can see that it's relatively 'cheap' and looks nice on her, but I think I should ask her to consider a Master Control Ultra T... 

There are a bunch of people

Who have the older, 34mm MUT, on this board. What I'm not sure about, and I don't know if this was your question or not, is if anyone owns the newer, more feminine MUT. The older one is quite nice (that one is white gold) A...

It is just that it is not a new watch, so there is going to be less traffic about it here on this forum than about the newer models. However, here is a link, from not too long ago, to a discussion with some nice photos of people's MUTs. Hope this will hel...

one with champagne dial and strap, and one with burgundy dial and strap. Both had diamon bezel. Then in 06/07 a black dial and strap was offered (gorgeous!!!). The silver dial is nice, but if she was thinking about a Cartier Tank, she might also consider ...

...an old girlfriend wears one in pink gold. They both love it. And my dad has one in platinum...though you didn't ask! Ken

Let's face it

 
 By: amanico : April 15th, 2010-11:12
The MUT is an icon... The " Less is more " fans will appreciate it, truly. The Tank is another nice choice, but my heart beats faster for the MUT. Look at its case back, at its awesome profile, its superb " simplicity ". It is a watch which is hard to bea... 

JLC Master Ultra Thin Pictures

 
 By: Bill : April 15th, 2010-15:14
This is a great watch both for a man and women despite the 34mm size. I wear 44mm watches most of the time but on the few occasions I get into my Penguin suite "Tuxedo" I always wear the JLC Ultra thin. I can't speak for the Cartier but it equally as desi...  

It is always a pleasure to admire this MUT, Bill.

 
 By: amanico : April 15th, 2010-15:47
And thanks you a lot for having posted some profile pictures. This is one of the most spectacular aspect of this watch. The Blue dial on this platinum version is also a gorgeous detail. Best, my friend. Nicolas

That is THE MUT, Bill

Just gorgeous. Oh, maybe I should try it just one more time... respo

We have the Polaris in common

 
 By: Bill : April 15th, 2010-19:53
Why stop there. For absolute minimalist luxury, style and class. The MUT is the one. Not even a second hand to disrupt its purity....  

I love this picture, Bill!

 
 By: amanico : April 15th, 2010-21:59
Yes, I was thinking the same about the Polaris, and especially the 65... It is indeed a dressy watch, comfortable with a suit, but also with more casual wear. I even know some friends who only have the Polaris as a Dressy watch, in their amazing collectio... 

Wow! Great photo!

 
 By: respo : April 16th, 2010-05:40
That whole look is really sharp! I am glad you agree that the '65 Pola is just so stylish and always ready for a night out. That is one of the best photos of the Pola that I have seen. So, my problem with the MUT..is my wrist. Nothing wrong with the MUT a... 

Thanks

 
 By: djmm : April 16th, 2010-08:17
Thanks for the pics and info guys. Polaris is very nice, but not for my wife. But for me, yes, haha... I think MUT especially the 34mm is less popular that's why I don't see them on display at shops. By the way I am a bit confused here, some MUT has a dis... 

Actually

 
 By: djmm : April 16th, 2010-08:50
I just had a look around Cartier website (man I hate it when a watch company doesn't give you the option to request an actual catalogue) and I found out about the ladies size Roadster in blue dial. That thing is so beautiful, the only 'downside' is that i... 

I think you already have this figured out

 
 By: respo : April 16th, 2010-10:24
The MUT is beautiful inside and out. But why not let your wife decide, since, as you pointed out, the price difference is not that significant and she is the one who will be wearing it. respo

 By: Bill : April 16th, 2010-08:54
The polaris was not for you wife. The MUT however is the one to consider. I am sorry for the confusion as I brought the polaris into the conversation only as a reference point that I as a regular wristed guy who wears mostly 44mm watches easily wear the 3...

Don't tempt me with Polaris or else my partner might not be getting a watch and I might get a Polaris for myself instead, haha

here you go...

Hands down – MUT for sure! But she is the one to wear it – have you checked with her that any of these two is the one she like? Best Blomman

Unfortunately

 
 By: djmm : April 18th, 2010-09:01
Unfortunately she didn't really like the look of the MUT - because she prefers a watch with numbered dials instead of 'stripes'. That means the other option is the Squadra auto, she likes it, but I don't think she likes it enough to pay for the asking pri... 

Sorry to hear!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : April 18th, 2010-09:19
Have you considered maybe one like this? If you not in a hurry – I have something in the pipeline for the girls… Need a week or two to put it together… Best Blomman...

 By: peregrino : April 19th, 2010-09:05
is a fantastic watch. A very elegant, and in steel also very light watch that looks a little bigger than 34 mm because of the very thin bezel. You hardly notice it when wearing it, very comfortable. So, no need to hesitate. A true classic for both a woman...
