5711 or 10 of these
I only got one but for the price of a grey market 5711 you could get 10 of the Cartier Santos. IMG_9794.jpgIMG_9795.jpg

however personally on seriously disappointing level the watch only has a WR of 30m, basically negating its potential as a daily wear for me. on another note, Cartier service is nonexistent here in nyc.

It’s not literal. 30m is generally not suitable for submersion in water. No idea who devised the scale for WR but it’s horse shit.

If it’s not a literal scale, companies are opening themselves up to lots of warranty claims. |

Yes. Quick strap change. It came with a blue calfskin strap and it’s very easy to switch between the two and also to remove links to size the bracelet.

I bought the Tank Francaise in large size when it came out 20 years ago. That was one of my all-time favorite watches - good looking, comfortable, versatile. But by today's standards, it's way too small for men. Haven't worn it in years. The new Santos is a great looking watch, a truly excellent re-design of an iconic design, and at the price it's a reasonable value. It's a major standout and exception in the current Cartier lineup. The new Santos is not a competitor to the Patek 5711 in any way - even at list price it's nearly a 5x price difference, and at market price it's more like 10x. They're not in the same league, not even close. And that's OK. You don't buy the Santos because it's a fine timepiece. You buy it because it's a decent timepiece (i.e. not a shitter by any means) that more importantly has an extremely well executed design and lots of aesthetic appeal. I'll likely get the new Santos with Blue Dial one day soon. I'll buy it not as a collector piece, but as a "wear the hell out of it and enjoy it" piece. It will fit just fine alongside my two Pateks. |

Oh wait a minute.

I had a nice TT Santos Chrono, but I'd take the 5711 over the 10.

Congratulations on your Santos Blue, I really like that one. It's undeniably a great looking watch, especially with the new blue dial Cartier released this year. I've been seriously considering it for a while now, probably just a matter of time before I cave and pull the trigger.

Thanks. It was really an impulse purchase, saw it in the window at the mall, read about it later that night, headed for the boutique the next day and it’s been on my wrist since then. Even the Cartier box is good looking.
