Cartier Panthère de Cartier Watch, Small Model

This is the only Cartier piece I own, haha. It's the Panthère Steel, small size. Being steel, it looks cool and feels light, perfect for summer! It's a classic model, and the blue crown is such a recognizable detail that anyone with a little interest in watches will know it. I guess that's a plus. If I were planning to keep it for the long haul, I probably would have gone for the steel/gold combo or steel/rose gold combo, but it was one of my first watches, so I went with steel. I kind of regret it now; the combo versions would probably match jewelry better. Scratches are definitely a downside, but I try not to focus on them. I received this as a proposal gift over five years ago, and now the price has jumped to KRW 6,200,000! I guess buying things early really does save you money. If you tend to wear a lot of feminine outfits, I'd recommend the Panthère watch. But if you're not into a super feminine vibe, maybe the Tank or Santos would be a better fit! Next, I'd love to buy a bangle... I wonder when that'll be possible.
