Little mistake on the "self-winding" vs "automatic" part. It was meant to be "manual winding".

I feel like the Cartier Santos matches the man you are now. Refined, slightly understated, and timeless. My first serious watches were the Tissot “Chemin de Tourelles” (midnight blue dial) and the Seiko Presage Raku (matcha green dial).

I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate.

Also, thanks for your work on all social media platforms - it was a suggestion IG reels that took me into paying attention of what I wear and my image to the world... Since then I've been watching and learning, but never got the concept of personal style - which now I think I can start thinking about it. I can't express how thankful I am for all that. You really breakdown all this fashion world in such a simple and easy way that it's almost impossible not to try. Thanks, man! Thanks so much for all your work.! 😊😊😊

I also really love the Omega Seamster collection, especially the Aquaterra with the small seconds.

Your journey is similar to mine. I started with Rolex, then discovered Grand Seiko, which are beautiful watches, but just too big for my wrist. Then the Santos caught my eye. I have yet to make that purchase as life has gotten in the way, so I have not had the time, but I intend to at some point. On a sidenote, I did pick up a datejust from 1966 and I wear it with a brown leather strap. I love that look because it’s very understated as I bought that (specific year) Rolex more for me, to feel good about wearing it,than for people to notice what I’m wearing. The Santos is a very good looking watch and it definitely works on you and your style. I thought it was great that you gave people other options for a similar look at a less expensive price point. Thanks for a great video!

@SaurabhPethe is right, it depends on your budget. It also depends if this would be your only watch and your lifestyle. Longines are going through a great phase at the moment and the Nomos Club Sports are fantastic. Oris are good too, and if you’re ok buying a watch from a new manufacturer (know as micro brands), then it’s worth looking at Farer and Mido. If you want just one watch forever and can afford it, you can’t go far wrong with an Omega Aqua Terra.

I found my dream watch while watching an episode of Magnum P.I. back when I was 11. I bought it off the shelf (hard to believe nowadays)when I turned 25. I’m 51 now, still have it, it is still my dream watch. It’s beat up, I wear it daily, gets it’s routine service, still looks amazing. I love watches, really want the Santos, but nothing can compare to what I have: Rolex GMT Master “Pepsi”. Always follow your dreams, there is no second guessing.

That Santos is beautiful and that easy adjusting bracelet is a really amazing feature (though I'd be quite stressed about scratching the bezels) 😂

Im turning 25 very soon, and I was hesitant in buying for myself a timepiece like a santos. I was looking at the market and found stuff that could be reasonable. Now when I told my father about the idea, he was strongly opposed to it, as this money could go into my savings for a property or other projects. Obviously it is the wiser choice than buying a watch, but your video definitely made me rethink the while situation 😅 absolutely loved it and congrats on the watch!

Congrats for getting a magnificent piece of art Tim, really happy for you. Now that you are interested in the watch world just make sure to understand one thing. Don’t buy watches thinking about the profit you can make out of them after a period of time, buy watches because you appreciate the craftsmanship, heritage, brand, movement etc. plus make sure that they represent something important for you. Don’t be like the rest flexing about how much they made unless you are a watch dealer which I also respect. Just make sure to know why you are getting into the world of watches!

I used to be strong advocate of buy what you like and not what makes financial sence. While i still agree to that statement and i extend it by saying, when you buy something, wear it and enjoy it, dont keep it in a safe, i ve also matured and realise, value retention should also be a huge consideration factor. While all us watch enthusiast would love to buy all the watches we love and keep them forever, thats not how it works. Most of us, while financialy healthy enough to be able to afford a couple of good watches, we cant really affort to loose a tone of money on such an unimportant object. Im not saying you should buy watches to flip them, but knowing that your purchase will only result in loosing in loosing a few hundret bucks if not anything, is nice level of security and for some people, the only chance of owning a nice watch.

Congratulations on finding a great watch! I just bought my first luxury watch today as well (Seiko Presage Purple Sunset). You are so right that watches are meant to be worn. Scratches are normal and part of life, no matter what the watch price is. I really like the watch you went for! The industrial touches, the square shape, the roman numerals, really appealing. It surely would have been a contender for me if I could afford it. I hope you enjoy this for years to come!

Definitely check it out, everyone likes it. Now looking for my next luxury watch, and decided it’s going to be Cartier again, with the new Tank américaine coming out in December 2023. The tank must just looks too small for my wrist. After that it’ll be an Omega Seamaster, just haven’t decided which one yet. Good luck on your watch journey.

Hi Tim, My dream watch is on your wrist. Great choice on the Santos some day I hope to have one.

Great choice, the decision was very well explained. In my opinion a watch's value retention shouldn't a factor people should take into consideration unless they actively think about selling theit watch. Can't wait to get a nice Longines or Tudor at some point !
