Franck Muller or Cartier for ladies...?

[SmOcKxY]

Hey guys..I'm looking to buy a watch for my wife's upcoming birthday..she did mentioned before she liked the Santos Galbee but I also saw a Franck Muller Cintree Curvex(considered entry level FM)..which of them will be a better buy? Investment value is out of the question since both are relatively cheap watches and of quartz movement.

SInce there are no discounts at their respective boutiques..got quoted by THG for the Santos Galbee at around $4.5K(Steel and small size) and around 30%+5% off the list price of $7750 for the Curvex from Sincere(Steel with leather strap and smallest size). Are the discounts ok? Or should I be looking at other watches at this kind of price range? Also saw a Zenith(cannot remember the model) automatic watch with MOP face around $5K.

My concern is I've heard Sincere sometimes dumps FM watches during their sale at 50% or even higher..Cartier not so much discounts..any advice or comments from watch aficionados here?

sincere now has a change of management. will sincere offer FM @ high discounts in future? i guess no one knows currently.

your wife birthday is coming, so if prior to that day, there is no fm sale? how?

I think you should get her a Cartier Galbee....that's what she said she would like.

Best to ask her preference... after all its not a cheap purchase.
Try buyin at the airport.. u might get a discount and save on the GST.
But personally I prefer the Cartier for ladies.

I think Cartier lady watches are pretty nice. I think Ballon and Tank (those with diamonds on each side) models looks more elegant. JLC Reverso may be another option to consider.

Bvlgari?

I would suggest you go with your wife since the Cartier is what she likes.

Definitely go for something she like Cartier Galbee looks very classy and elegant on ladies!

I like mullers better but thet are not what they used to be. Marketing is bad and prices are the lowest ever. You can easily get them discounted and they don't hold value. Cartiers are nice and they have the heritage. Will always be a good piece to own. Good luck.
