Cartier

I know absolutely nothing about Cartier watches, but as a retirement gift to myself, I am considering getting in Rose gold the WGSA0019 I know it is not a collectable watch, not sure I could find a Crash, Bamboo, Platinum Cintree etc or any 1960-1970 era ... 

I'm not sure I'm a lot of help on the Cartier watch front. So I'll let other experts fill in. But just wanted to say congratulations on retirement!

In general i would just say “buy what you like only after trying it on”.

Love the watch! ...  

Now need gold cuff links, these old ones need an upgrade in pink ...  

So the mistake I made was that WGSA0019 is difficult to add a gold band. It is apparently special order and I was quoted by Cartier that it is an additional $30K. So the total will be $22,700 plus an additional $30,000 for a total of $52,700 before taxes....
