SOLD! My first high-end watch. Historical significance, comfort, convenience, and stands out from all others. Two watches in one with the change in strap. C'est magnifique.

[@peterroman9956]

Beautiful watch, finally

[@rml695]

I love the smart link bracelet. I wish all watches had this, because every single metal bracelet watch I have had has to be adjusted big time for my small wrist.

[@cias8602]

In-house movement, slimmer case, easy link and upgraded bracelet. Now i can justify adding one to my collection.

[@WatchAdvisor]

ci as Exactly! :)

[@cias8602]

I already own a white face Calibre de Cartier, but this is something i also must have :).

[@mcarterone]

I WANT ONE!

[@andivalentinus2912]

mcarterone plus one here

[@JohnSmith-qg3jb]

The camera is so far away the watch is almost invisible

[@billcore6295]

I own the black/gray dial with a black bezel.... It's about 39mm...mine is 2020 model... There's a 6 month wait list for the black dial at the AD... I got lucky at the AD :)

[@billcore6295]

My watch came with the rubber and metal bracelet.... I want a leather strap but the AD said they will not be available until this Summer

[@paradiser11]

what interest me is the guy that wears the rose gold santo.

[@Beyondtattoos_]

Adding a cartier this Sunday next to my rolexs

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which one? Santos?

[@AB-hm3iq]

I love love love the steel one....but....i cannot afford one.

[@waqaswanders]

In 35.1mm case size, there are two references. WSSA0010 and WSSA0029. Which one is shown above? What are the differences between these models? Are there any price differences? I am looking to buy one but need some more info to decide which reference number is better.

[@danielrabraga]

Inspired in Santos Dumont 👏🏼👏🏼

[@lemeilleurpourlafrance7946]

The first real inventor of airplane Santos Dumont: in 1906 he flew his first 14-bis aircraft in Paris and is considered by many as the inventor of flight.

[@leander9263]

I mean I dont go back to the "boutique" to have my bracelet adjusted even if it has screwed or pin links anyway but it is a cool feature. A sliding micro adjust clamp is always helpfull though. Wrist size can change from working with hands and forearms and even from heat because of blood flow etc.

[@WatchAdvisor]

True! Thanks for sharing!

[@tangchiprathomo819]

Was it lume?

[@reelrocknrolla4251]

The perfect watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which one is your favorite?

[@reelrocknrolla4251]

@@WatchAdvisor I like the current Santos de Cartier two tone medium but will probably buy the SS medium.

[@MadMan-cp6tn]

closer to the camera, guys!

[@fobudomh]

6:45 had so many scratches !!!

[@WatchAdvisor]

fobudomh These were watches from the SIHH that went already through a lot of hands (retailer and journalists). Not everyone is paying attention, so scratches unfortunately are unavoidable ... none of the watches shown here would be sold in such a condition of course...

[@fukcserbia]

InchAllah Santos will be my next purchase from Cartier, I bought a Cartier Tank Solo for my first watch.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Which one is you favorite?

[@fukcserbia]

​@@WatchAdvisor Cartier Santos ref. numer WSSA0013 I really like, with the blue dial.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Cartier Santos WSSA0013, that is the gents Automatic watch with a diameter of 39.8 mm... Steel case, with blue - my favorite color 😉 - roman numeral dial... BRAVO, good choice! For sure a Cartier classic that will never come out of fashion... Let me know if you have any questions...

[@inoname99]

Let me start over. The Cartier De Santos which I am aware of Gold/Stainless Steel with a Conical Back, autonomy 1:1 Officially Certified by Cartier. 5th Avenue. New York, New York. USA. Circa 1985 with a Lifetime Warranty. I can see the current De Santos is much more ergonomically.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@tumblingbear]

Would there be a ladies size launched too?

[@GS-py9ds]

mimibaby Cartier being such a big jewelry brand I’m sure they will, maybe for the next SIHH in January or next Baselworld.

[@Panthere.vision]

Is that Cartier tray/Display is available for sale?

[@WatchAdvisor]

No! Definitely not...

[@CreepyRecordings]

The medium one with yellow gold is exactly my dream watch! I’m glad they have that size since I’m a very small wrist. Does anyone knows how much would it cost? The medium one in yellow gold with the normal white face. 😭😍🔥❤️

IMHO one of the sexiest… that watch was always too small for me… so this size rocks!!!

Beautiful but scratches AF...

[@alvinkoh5556]

Do you need to put on the gloves each time you wear a high-end Watch? Come to think of, it is silly, pretentious and ostentatious isn't it?

[@WatchAdvisor]

No you don’t have to but it is a good old tradition to do so when the watches are presented at a trade show...

[@alvinkoh5556]

@@WatchAdvisor Yes, it is a BS tradition. Bloody ostentatious!

[@WatchAdvisor]

What is your personal problem with it? Why repeating and insisting? I don’t get the point...

[@CYC_JP]

@@alvinkoh5556 Gloves are used for two primary functions other than "pretend to be high end": 1. to prevent the skin grease and finger prints all over the watch when you are handling them. 2. to prevent your finger nails accidentally scratch the watch. What your problem? Enjoy watch other people's finger prints? or scratches? or simply no manner? Bizarre kink indeed.
