Cartier Santos Skeleton

Any owners of the Santos Skeleton? Thoughts?

I had the pleasure of trying both models on out in Vegas a few months ago. I'm partial to the black Noctambule version. This was the first time I'd ever seen it in person, and it's a real stunner. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with any kind of bracelet (just a black and a gray strap with the quick-change system). But I imagine you could buy the black rubber strap/bracelet used for the ADLC version separately.

If you're into skeleton watches or Cartier in general, it's a real winner. It fits great on my 7-inch wrist and is a model I have strongly considered. The biggest drawback is that it's hard to justify the retail price of about $30K given what else is on the market. But it's definitely something different, and I think it could be worn for dressy or casual situations.

I think Dauster owns one.

I have two friends that bought the steel Santos skeleton watch. They both seem to love the design and the ability to switch between a strap and bracelet easily. I like the look of the ADLC version, but I love the Santos bracelet on these and would have to choose the all steel version. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I tried several of the Cartier skeleton pieces at their Jewellery event at the Rosewood (HK) last year including this one - all gorgeous pieces but as others mentioned, difficult to justify the price & I think you would lose a ton if you decide to trade it later. Compared to other skeleton pieces by other brands they are pretty overpriced

I've got a Hublot Aerofusion skeleton as my only skeleton/openworked piece and quite happy with that so far

I think unless one is buying a skeletonized RO, or maybe a skeletonized Overseas, most people lose some money on skeletonized watches. Skeletonized watches are generally love them or hate them kind of watches.

always liked these and they look pretty damn good in person. they do wear a tad large tho on my skinny wrists
