I just bought my wife the same model last month for her birthday. The dealer had a lot of different models in stock and the deal included two additional straps. Strap changes are easy too. My wife has worn this full time since getting it despite owning three Rolex pieces. The Cartier dealer actually worked to get our business. Very refreshing!

Congrats! Yeah, strap change is easy and great to mix it up / outfit match.

Love Cartier watches! My wife got me the Roadster Chronograph XL and I recently picked up the Santos. The quick change bracelet system is amazing on the Santos...

I tried several models at the boutique (Ballon Bleu, Drive, Calibre, Clé). Didn't like any, they felt flimsy and cheap to me. Also not a big fan of huge printed Roman numerals on all their models with tiny hands. I've tried to like them but there was just nothing there for me.

Have you tried on the “night owl”? Skeletonized but in black.

She's a keeper... and timepiece enabler. Of course my muse / wife has quite the timepiece collection herself :)

In fact she convinced me i needed the limited edition 50th Anniv OMEGA Speedy.

Just picked one up this week, too. Amazingly comfortable on the rubber strap and stunning on the wrist.

I am a big fan of Cartier products. I find them very versatile, very comfortable, and well made. Their designs are so well done and timeless, that many of them such as the Santos, Tank, Toneau, and Tortue have origins that are around 100 years old or more.

Here are a few of mine. Cheers!

I'm thinking really hard about getting my wife the newest Santos in 35 mm. That way I can steal it 90% of the time and when we go out she'll have a kick ass timepiece too

Cartier sent me a new strap. I'm a happy customer.

Cartier is an excellent jeweler that happens to also make beautiful, design-focused watches with historical significance (the Tank and Santos models in particular). Their skeletonized designs are also amongst the best you can find. I have a Santos that doesn’t get as much wrist time as I would like, but every time I wear it, I absolutely love it. It never bores me when I look at the time, which I can’t say for some more expensive, “classically desirable” watches that I own.

My AD gave me a call about this watch and I tried it on...

Safe to say it’s amazing in hand and hopefully I can own one by Christmas.

I have a Cartier roadster XL GMT. It’s got great wrist presence. It’s not a classic model but it really exudes style and sophistication!

Here's my 42mm Pasha Chrono. Actually looking to potentially sell since my collection is getting a little unwieldly
