スタイリッシュな時計でいいですよね！ この間、カルティエの店舗に行き、サイズでかなり迷いました笑 LMも検討したのですがどうしても大きく感じてしまい、結果MMサイズにしました。新しい物がスイスから送られてくるようで早く着けるのが待ち遠しいです。

[@matthewdavis8199]

I recently purchased the medium size, and it is so versatile and surprisingly well built. Nice video!

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Congrats! Exactly. It's a masterpiece.

[@sensational_cellar8606]

My wrist is 15cm/6 inches and the Santos Medium looks much smaller on me than on your 17.5cm wrist. Maybe it’s the camera lens doing that? Anyway, hope you like the fit. Have to say, this is a superb watch for both smart and casual occasions.

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Thank you! MM size looks more dressy than LM. As you say, it's perfect for any occasion.

[@ajmccallum8077]

Was wondering the same regarding size

[@temo13]

Nice video! Gorgeous watch! I'm looking forward to buy one but I don't dress as formal as you, have you used it with jeans and tshirt?

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Thank you very much. Of course, Santos is also suitable for casual shirts and jeans. Because Santos is a sports watch.

[@temo13]

Thank you for your reply :)

Nice video and watch. Can I ask.... Accuracy. That's the one thing with these Cartier in house movements that's never quoted. See reports of +1 a day which is great of course. But also +10 which isn't acceptable to me. My current beater is the Omega Aqua Terra white dial. It's 8900 is amazing. So far +2 seconds in just over 2 months!! I know the Santos will never match that. But +10 a day is not acceptable for a modern luxury watch IMO. Also the dial is great here in steel or two tone. But it will surely in both scratch up badly with all that polished surface... I sound negative. But not. It's a beautiful watch. But the two things I mention stop me buying. Love to here your input? Thanks.

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Thank you for your comment. You value the accuracy of mechanical watches. I definitely think it's an important. But I'm not interested in the accuracy of mechanical watches at all. I value the history, concept, people involved, design and ornamental value of mechanical watches. It is interesting to know various opinions. Thank you.

[@russellgooding7475]

Thanks for your comment. Fully agree that heritage, history and the design and so on are great here. Personally though. I like a watch to have a great movement also. It's there to tell the time, so I always scratch my head when a manufacturer seems to regard that aspect as of low importance. Guess that's why I like Omega. Nice watches, maybe not as elegant as this. But also the coaxial George Daniels invention in them is quite fantastic. Cartier, live the style. But I just know that the movements are not in the same league. Anyhow. It's still a very pretty watch. Thank you for the video

[@armanvardumyan3248]

I can’t tell, does the bracelet taper down? Do you know the lug width of the bracelet?

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Thanks for your questions. The lug width is 18mm and the buckle side is 16mm.

These are fabulous watches. I had one about thirty years ago and am about to buy one again. Not sure yet whether to go full-in for a new one with the fantastic QuickSwitch strap system or a slightly older version. These also age really well. If they get knocks and dings it seems to give them really good style. Value seems to hold reasonably well too.

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

It's great that you have Santos 30 years ago. I think Cartier Santos is an iconic watch. Even the old model is not old-fashioned. I will own this Santos for the rest of my life.

I love this watch on a dark brown leather strap. Not keen on the bracelet.

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

Well, Santos is a dressy-looking watch, so a leather strap looks great too.

こんばんは！サントスMM購入を考えていて、質感を知るために何度も動画を拝見しております^ ^ 　とても参考になります。ありがとうございます。先日ブティックに行って現物を見て、装着すると。。。もうダメですね笑　見れば見るほどいいな、と思います。（おそらく1ヶ月以内には買ってしまうと思います。。） さて、1つお聞きしたいのですが、ベゼルの磨き上げ部分の小傷はかなり目立ちますでしょうか？　自分はあまりハードには使わない想定（ジャケパンスタイルでのオフィスワーク・商談時がメイン）なのですが。数年使用されて、現状どの様な状態か、差し支えなければ教えて頂けますと幸いです。宜しくお願いします。

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

何度もご視聴いただきありがとうございます！ご参考まで、私はサントスMMを2020年10月に購入し、購入から２～３か月は頻繁に使用、その後は週１回程度のペースで使ってきました。2022年4月現在、ベゼルの小傷は確かに見られます。デスクワークの際は外して置き、アクティブなシーンでは使わないなど、比較的大事に取り扱っていますが、傷を付けずに保つのは難しいと思います。ただ、気になるほどの傷は見当たりません。

[@satogf7096]

@@shirokuma_watch_japan3057 ご丁寧なお返事を頂き、ありがとうございます！とても具体的で参考になりました。経験上、ステンレス ケースの傷はあまり気にならないタイプなので大丈夫とは思いますが、いずれにしても購入後は大事に使いたいと思います^ ^ また何かあればお聞きするかもしれません。宜しくお願い致します！

サイズ感が良い ブレスも着け心地良さそうですね MMがいいな、買います

[@shirokuma_watch_japan3057]

コメントありがとうございます。MMサイズ購入前にLMも試着しましたが、17.5～18cm弱の手首の私にはやや大きく感じました（LMのサイズ感はラウンド型時計では42mmくらいのイメージのようです）。サントスのブレスの着け心地も良いです。ブレスのコマは一つ一つ短いので、サイズ調整も細かくできます。ご参考になれば幸いです。
