I was in love with the green one on paper.. but when I tried it, I’ve choose to finally go with the classic white one. Match everything, iconic, and more classy.

Spot on. The Santos green and the AP RO blue are the only watches I know that look better online than in person.

I never had any legibility problems with my blue Santos. Besides that I love the reflections this is what drew me into the watch. It just looks so amazing in sunlight plus on my opinion this watch is one of the most beautiful allarounders out there.

The white dial version all day long. Weird Cartier made this watch to swap out straps but doesn't make any effort to push them or even show them on their website. Would be cool if you could do a video showing us strap options from the showroom or even your own ones. You are the Santos guy on KZfaq! Such a shame Richemont told Delugs to stop making straps for this watch.

@oo7kamikaze Жыл бұрын

Really wish they would make the grey dial in a medium size. I love mine but wish it was a touch smaller. My wrists are 6.75 inches so I can pull off the large but only just. The gray dial has good legibility against the white indices (which are also lumed) and the ADLC bezel has been completely scratch resistant thus far. I also love wearing it on the rubber strap. Been looking for some more straps for it so i might hit you up. Thanks for the video. Love your work!

I love my two tone medium Santos! Generally I wear it with the navy blue matt alligator. The bolstered, flush fit just looks so cool. I would also comment on the curve of the case and the glazing - it really does set the Santos apart. Mine just hugs my wrist. The gold is probably the better for keeping the scratches at bay....but then mine is not a daily wearer. I want other strap colours but the genuine Cartier Santos straps are expensive in the UK (It goes with the territory, I guess!)

Hi! 2 questions: 1) i know the bezel is known to be a scratch magnet but does it mean it gets more scratches vs other watches like rolex or omega? 2) debating between SS or TT, is it generally more visible to see scratches on a smooth steel or gold bezel or same. Just thinking if it will be less noticeable or visible in one compared to the other.

@ALL-il1sw Жыл бұрын

There's a guy on watches U seek who brushed the bezel, it look great because there's already brushed components of the watch, you could just get it brushed once the scratches become too much

@conradcoolerfiend Жыл бұрын

It's silly that cartier doesnt include two larger links so you can get the perfect fit. Even the prx does this with 6mm links and two 4mm links. All cartier has to do is make two 8mm links to go with the 6mm links and then you could get a perfect fit down to 2mm increments with the right combination of links.

Love your reviews thanks a lot for it. I have the white dial large but really like the green one. I probably would have liked it more if the green dial would not fade to black. It’s not that much green in my opinion. I do however love the green alligator 🐊 strap and think it would probably look good on the white dial as well. I love the look of your santos with the gray strap too. What’s the retail price for the green alligator strap for the large model with the deployment clasp when ordering through your store and are they already available? Thanks a lot for your videos and keep them coming I always look forward watching them. Cheers

You bring a link with you in the pocket? How much does each link cost. I remember once I has to buy a couple of links for my mom's Bvlgari which I had given to her and the bracelet was a little tight. Each link cost eyewatering 200 USD. I think if you put all the links together bought at retail, it was going to come up to more than the price of the whole watch!
