My father bought this marvellous watch on a whim in an airport in 1988. He says he’s worn it nearly everyday since and has never desired buying a different one. He will pass it down to when I become the age he was when he bought it.

Welcome to Cartier, Santos is a great everyday watch from the brand and the white dial has such excellent legibility compared to the other colour dial offerings. Everyone talks about the bezel scratching and how it's a downside. I've learned to enjoy my bezel scratches which actually has a kind of "raining effect" when I move it left to right slowly. One thing they never tell you about is the plastic protector. The sides of the plastic protector can fray over time and stick out at just the perfect angle to scratch the sides of your Santos with complete ease. Even worse is the fact that these scratches will stand out as it goes against the brushing on the sides. Better to store the Santos in the travel pouch over the watch box if you are going to frequently wear it. Leave the plastic protector in your watch box and don't use it unless you are taking it back to service. If you register your watch on the Richemont Enquirus lost and stolen watch/jewllery database, the integrated bracelet has it's own serial numbers separate to the watch.

Dear Ash, Thank you for this enjoyable video. Personally the Speedy is my grail. But the Cartier really fits you well, a perfect match. Your Rolex experience matches mine, they make us beg for bad treatment and this is exactly the opposite of what Omega do. The Cartier experience as I like to call it is similar to my purchase of the Moonwatch which, to this day, is a really nice memory, like your Cartier purchase. Feels good, is fun and I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it. 😎👍🏻 Best regards, Tim

I recently dropped the watch off at Cartier for servicing and also had an excellent customer experience which was very refreshing.

Brilliant video. I was lucky to recieve the exact same watch as a present last Christmas. Agree with everything Ash said about this beautiful piece. I was a bit worried about scratching the bezel after reading people's reviews about it being a scratch magnet but I haven't had any problems so long as it is given a bit of respect and realise it is not a chunky tool watch. 8 years guarantee is unbelievable.😊

As much as it saddens me that we will no longer see the Explorer on the channel again, its my favourite watch of all time and it is the watch i'm currently saving up for right now (about 3/4th there), but Cartier is very close to my heart too as i'm the owner (for about 10 years now) of a Cartier - Must de cartier 23mm that used to belong to my Nan, it was slow to gel with I think I wore it 3 times in 4 years but I eventually got a Dark Green Alligator Strap for it, it pretty much became my every day wear for about 5 years and even now at least once a week. I loved how it looked and how it mad me feel. A great watch brand, welcome to the club ;)

I was in the same position oy you, I was dreaming for a explorer 36mm then I bought a Cartier santos medium. I still want a explorer,don’t do the same mistake I did, buy explorer first, then if you still want you can always buy the cartier, my humble opinion. Best regards

I've been eyeing the Santos Medium for a few years now and if it had a date at 6 o'clock (like the larger model does), I might have already purchased it. However, until the day a "Medium Date" makes its way to the catalogue, I'll keep checking the ever increasing prices of vintage Santos Galbees and Carees, sighing and pondering. Excellent purchase, Ash! Wear it in good health.

Just imagine....enter a Cartier Boutique and have an enjoyable experience! I bought a medium Cartier de Santos (two tone) at Berry's of Leeds who were equally charming. I find the inner edges of the bracelet a shade sharp for my skin (I have the issue with many wristwatch bracelets - so it is probably more about me than the watch.) Mine came with a navy alligator deployant strap which looks very sophisticated and the Santos fits my wrist like an old glove. I love it!
