I looking to buy a Roadster for the summer days.
Which one would work better for the pool?
Ive heard that water proofing chronograph watches is harder and reps chronographs are sometimes impossible to water proof, is it true?

Should I choose the Roadster S large then?

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Both are girly watches. And yes, no way you'll be able to waterproof chrono.
And I'm not sure, if non-chrono model has screw down crown.

Rep chrono's can be difficult to almost impossible to waterproof reliably because in a lot of cases the pushers are not manufactured to the same design standards as the gen ("O" rings etc.). The pushers are just a couple of more potential spots for water incursion along withthe crown,caseback,crystal,and He valve(if present). Do yourself a favor and have any watch that will hit the water pressure tested. The non chrono is a better bet. JMHO

Thank you guys for the recommendations!!!
I would go with Option 1.
I don't believe is a girly watch, everyone has their own taste!
Would any of our TD's do water proof test, or should I take it to a local watch store to get it done?

Take it to a rep friendly local!

I have the gen roadster and I am a man, Do you think If I bought one of those I could interchange the straps I have for my gen watch??

The roadster is a classy watch. The non chrono s is one of the best cartier reps around. Girls notice cartier more than most brands so every guy needs at least one cartier. Not sure about the waterproofing though.
