Cartier Santos

Any owners of the Cartier Santos with new link system? Think its debut was in 2018. Bigger guy so would probably lean towards the large. Thoughts?

The mid is on my mind for watches to pickup in the next two years. If you can rock the large size, go for it! I think the bigger one modernizes the take on the OG pilot watch so to speak, wears mite like. 41mm. The smaller wears like a 37mm on me. Relatively sizing, of course, but you get the idea.

I went and tried one on, but didn’t pull the trigger. It’s a sharp looking watch.

I have a 6.5” wrist and I would get large but I like large watches. For some reason, I find the large just looks more right on my wrist. The great thing is they are not hard to find. My suggestion is to try one on if you can find an open AD.

Like Seth, above, I don’t have one but love them too. It’s something I am always looking for at the right price and locally, so perhaps some day...

Love the watch and ease of strap interchange.

I have a flat wrist a little over 7”..... i’ve tried both..... will someday get the medium. It just works better for that watch. To me, the large is like putting huge chrome rims on a phantom. You can do it, but the original is always better. Ymmv.

I have the large blue dialed version. I don't have a very large wrist and both my wife and I felt the M looked really small.

Cartier Santos

I have a 7” wrist and went with the large. I found the medium too small on my wrist. I love the new Santos with the quick change system. It’s a beauty and the bracelet fits perfectly.

I love mine. It's a great modernization of a classic watch, and it's very versatile . The extra straps snap in quickly and easily.
