My parents bought me a Santos stainless steel & gold for my 21st birthday..................in 1985, and it is still on my wrist every day, I even go to bed with it on. I have had it serviced every 5 years or so. Last year it had a major service, added a link, replaced the face which had gotton a bit discoloured, and had a new side knob as the stone was chipped. I love it and I am sure it will see me out.

I have a Santos De Cartier large in stainless steel and I love it. It gets more wrist time than my Rolex, Breguet and Omega combined. A very underrated Watch.

A college student here, despite my age, I consider my self an “old soul”, I just like vintage watches. Currently own 3 santos, the 2018 medium two tone, the original 1978 two tone 2961, and the 1981 24mm ladies two tone( I have 6.25in wrist) the size is perfect for my small wrist. The elegance and unique atheistic about those watches can’t be beaten. Santos is really like the Colt 1911 and Porsche 911 of the watch world, rich in history and still popular today. In one word, it’s purely Timeless❤

Being a collector of watches and Colt 1911s, I totally get your point. I picked up a used white dial Santos large and am amazed of how dressy/elegant it is with a black alligator strap and how very casual/classy it is with the steel braclet all at once. I own multiple rolexes and other high end Swiss watches, but none of them do it all as well as the steel Large Santos with the silvered opaline dial. Cheers and good luck with your future endeavors.

To me the "Santos Du Mont", Automatic in gold and steel, IS the Iconic watch. Elegant yet not ostentatious, timeless, at home in any situation. A little like the Porsche 911 perhaps, in that too is a classic design that has refused to die or be replaced. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" !! LOL

The older Santos versions has value and are very elegant. The newer versions are not stable in value and in my opinion Cartier has lost its prestige with the ugly latest Santos versions and a lot of other models

Don't you think that minimum wage should quadrupedal before anyone else making more gets a cent more, and that the wealthy should be taxed at the same rate as the poor?
