Started collecting a year ago, found that I really like Casio, I wear an A168 a lot. Plan on getting a few more Casio Edifices and then some Oceanus’s. My grail is a Santos, so A168’s for daily, and Santos for some weekends and special occasions.

i have a rolex 116333 Datejust 2 two tone, would you recommend this as i prefer the case rather than the sub and i want the use/function of the bezel

I have been hunting recently. Bucherer has some nice options, as does Longines. I would love a Sedna gold Aqua Terra, but the pricing is stupid. I know used Day-Dates are the standard first gold watch, but I do not want one. This Cartier or the Calibre de Cartier work for me. I have a 19-20cm wrist. I could care less about weight, save for the cost of course. What else is out there? I almost bought a Grand Seiko, but the size scared me, and it was an online deal. I see deals on Hublot and Bucherer, but I am having a difficult time simply finding such watches. I am fine with repolished watches. My ideal would be an Aqua Terra or Tresor, but a Hublot or Chopard could work. I just cannot find deals on watches I want. A Piaget Polo would be great too, and I have seen them, sold. It is like I am always a step behind.

all (watchmakers) know, not to mess with JLC a 200 years brand, and other companies know it.. so I take my hat off to this brand.. and don't forget that JLC saved Patek from bankruptcy. If you don't believe me, Google it, there is a great book 150 pages that talks about this. You can read how the best watch companies of that era were lining up for LE-COULTRE to solve all their difficulties and manufacture the machines they needed to solve their complications.

Do not buy a Santos, if you’re a manly man. These are very effeminate watches best suited for perfumed princes and others captivated by such frippery.

It would be crazy if they made the WGSA0077 with balck dial and black rubber strap... now I can t make a decision between this and the WGSA0077, maybe i'll take the yellow gold one and put the black rubber strap on, if you could make a video of WGSA0077 with black rubber strap it would be super

Hi Aleks, thank you for the guide. I recently bought a 2960 in full gold, and the screws are brushed. Does it mean it's been polished? Are there any models with brushed screws?
@AleksWatchesАй бұрын
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes the screws should have polished and not finished. Thats how they left the factory. So seems like someone has polished it. But don’t let that ruin anything. Enjoy a great watch!

Taught a lot...had a look at a Caree, two-tone, on eBay for 1950€, and the case was almost gone, so much polishing, and the screws were kind of 'hanging out' of a very rounded bezel! So, great teaching!

My parents bought me a Santos Octagon 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. Still have all the paperwork and box. I love it and I am sure it will see me out.

The Cartier Santos is an iconic beautiful but I would not buy one. Why? Because the Santos is extremely scratch prone, especially on the high polished bezel. Cartier knows about this flaw and refuses to fix it, meanwhile, KZfaqrs keep making excuses for the flawed and subpar metal casing. Silver colored watches, such as stainless steel and titanium, are the defacto metal of choice. Why, in 2024, aren't manufacturers making "scratch-proof" watches? There are PVD coatings and nomenclatures like 316L steel, super titanium, TinSkin 3.0, and platinum encasements. A company as profitable and well funded as Cartier has no excuse for making watches that are scratch prone. Invest a little R&D and fix this problem. It's not just a Cartier problem, but most luxury watchmakers don't put in the effort to ensure their watches are "scratch-proof" or as scratch resistant as possible. It's a shame. For this reason alone I would never buy a Cartier Santos. Profits above all. So what are the most scratch resistant metals? Tegiment steel and UltraHex titanium.
