Is a Santos Dumont an Effeminate-Looking Watch?

[BristolCavendish]

Reason for asking. A colleague has to liquidate some personal assets and offered to sell me his Santos (gold bezel over SS). Mrs. BC wears one and while it looks great on her, the case is somewhat smaller than a more traditional men's watch and it is far more dressier in appearance than my 5-digit Submariner.

I've always liked the Cartier Santos design concept but my gut-feeling is that I probably wouldn't be wearing it as much as my more utilitarian 16610 plus I would feel kind of lame wearing his/her matching watches on any given occasion. While it sounds like I am arguing my own justifications against this hypothetical purchase (and I probably am), do any of you guys wear one of these? One thing is for certain, I would imagine that this particular model doesn't look very good on a NATO strap.
