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

How about both, that’s the TRF correct answer.

Haha! Or even all three would be appropriate and preferred.

this watch is fantastic and worthy of acceptance in place of a 5711...

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.

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 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.

Congrats on a beauty my friend! This Santos line with the quick strap change option is pretty badass

I tried that Santos on today. Very comfortable bracelet and it’s much thinner than the previous generation Santos.

It’s not really 10 of one or 1 of the other. They are very different watches.

Enjoy in good health.

He wasn’t a fan of cartier... cartier is predominantly a women’s brand 70/30 roughly....I think he equated the brand to your typical non rolex/patek brands.
