Incoming Santos!

I have had my eye on the Santos for a while now and finally pulled the trigger on the blue dial. The picture doesn’t do the dial justice, but I am thrilled with it. Becoming quite a fan of Cartier.

Very lovely. I like how they look equally good on a strap or bracelet.

Time to pair it with a Love Bracelet.

Oh man I’ve been after one of those. How’s the bracelet in terms of comfort? If you should feel like posting more pics that would be fine too.....:-)

The bracelet is lightweight and really comfortable. I had envisioned wearing the watch more on one of the two leather straps that came with it, but I am really liking it on the bracelet a lot more than I thought I would. I also like the quick change feature so you can switch between the straps or the bracelet in just a minute or two.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for all the questions but what do you think about it as a “summer watch”? In some pics it looks sporty and in some it looks more dressy.

I see it as a great all around watch. The blue dial makes the watch a little sportier than the original white/silver. It comes with a blue leather strap and they let me pick one other, so I chose tan. It makes the watch very versatile. Here are a couple more pics taken with my phone.

I had the opportunity to try one of these on in person and was blown away. The new, revised case looks great, the bracelet sizing is ingenious, and the gradient blue dial is fantastic. Love the way the light plays with it, especially under curved glass.

Wear it in good health!

Is it true that there is no discount on Cartier?

That looks great! I love that I can change from bracelet to strap in literally less than 10 seconds. Now if I could just keep my wife’s hands off of it!!

Tried one on at a Cartier boutique last week. It's now on my list. Unlike you know who, they had one in stock to try and buy. Very friendly manager too.
