[@1983robbo]

Looks insanely good! Need to see this in the flesh Mark 😍

[@scottlalonde2878]

Thanks for sharing your watch 👍

[@RandyBelinda]

29mm is the perfect size in a Galbee for my wife, who has a small wrist. I bought her one, a quartz version, for Xmas and she absolutely loves it! Why quartz. Well, she hates setting and resetting her watches and couldn’t care less if it’s quartz. Because the watch was discontinued years ago and I was looking for a pristine example, it took me 6 months to source one. I own a Cartier de Santos (medium ) and it’s simply perfect. I understand your addiction to Cartier, they are wonderful watches!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Whaaat! That’s so impressive you were able to source a pristine model! 😱💕💕💕 I’m sooo glad she loves it. WHAT A WATCH! And you know, I’m a big quartz sympathetizer. In the ladies watch world, it’s a lot harder to find mechanical watches. 😅 and I think quartz has its place! I’m sooo glad she’s loving her watch!

[@sharifaamin3066]

Shout out to both of you, I have been looking for this timeless treasure for ages. However, since I stay in the Asian region, it makes it extra challenging for me to find a good source. Could you both shed some light perhaps some trustful sources from where I can get my hands on this beauty!! FYI: Call me old fashioned but definitely going for the vintage version 🙂

[@rickyromano6659]

Such a beautiful watch. I hear people knock Cartier sometimes for being a "jeweler" and not a "true watch maker" which to me is silly. Their skeletons are second to none, so to is their history and contributions to watch making. That combined with being the "jeweler of kings" understanding ascetics like they do, they have perfect proportions, timeless elegant designs, and a near perfect wearing experience. The Santos and the tank in my opinion, are two of the best designs ever created.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

I couldn’t agree more! I think it’s sooo silly to knock Cartier! Like you said, with their history I think it’s impossible to disqualify them. Watch geeks can be so pretentious about stupid stuff sometimes tho. 🙄

[@rickyromano6659]

@watchgringa we can definitely take ourselves too seriously. I think when people; me included, are passionate about something, it can be easy to forget at the end of the day, it's not that serious... until you say something I disagree agree with! 😆

[@scytherind8928]

They made a whole ass movement inside of a rotor. Anyone who still says they're not a watchmaker is delusional

[@rickyromano6659]

@scytherind8928 right! To me, the Cartier Masse Mysterious, along with the GS Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon, were the best watches of watches and wonders 2022.

[@AlbertusMagnus_44]

The most important thing is how it looks plus how it looks on you. ETA movements are not just ok. They are excellent. There is nothing wrong with standardized design. ETA movements are reliable and accurate, lacking only that “cachet” of “the NAME” (the ultimate in “form” over function.) Manufacture calibers are nice, but very expensive. Not only to purchase, but to service. ETA movements cost hundreds to service. Manufacture movements cost thousands to service. Plus, that dial on the Galbee is stunning! Far more beautiful than the Santos. And the size works well for you. I hope you buy one! Besides, a “Gringa-Cartier” association is far more obvious and makes far more sense than “Gringa-Rolex.” Trust me. ⌚️😎

[@tmdelvecc]

Love 90’s and 2000’s Cartier. I think the size looks amazing on you but I’d also love to see a small model next to it!

[@AlexanderB.]

For me it's the modern Santos the Cartier all day long. Two-tone isn't really my thing and I specifically love how the bezel flows into the bracelet. It's just the perfect balance of elegance and sportiness on the modern one.

[@kylena7533]

Your talking is getting much better. I too have also broken my jaw. Wishing you a speedy recovery lady.

[@theodom1858]

I know it doesn't have anything to do with the video (it was great) but I have to say I love the backdrop. Very nice chairs fitting of such a 70's house with a stunning view out the window. Thank you for all the content.

[@fredslow]

Beautiful variation of the Santos that my wife and I had not seen before. My wife is madly in love with this one, we may have found her next watch! Thanks Britt, great video! Hope you can get this one for yourself soon

[@ignaciopadilla5150]

I just saw a guy wearing that exact same watch at my local flea Market. He was nice enough to show it up close.

[@abtelco9748]

Have you ever looked at the Cartier Roadster 2675, with the dark dial? Lovely IMHO

My wife isn't really interested in watches, so we got her a 24mm Galbee, as it's more jewelry/bracelet than watch ... she loves it

I think you just might be the BEST watch channel on KZbin. Your videos are a delight to watch! 👌🏻

[@michellep2682]

That is a great looking watch. I'm not generally a two-tone fan but that dial is gorgeous. I love my Santos medium but now I want this too. Damn you Britt 😜

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Man! The way Cartier does two tone is magic to me. 🙈 I also feel like you can justify BOTH in the collection! They are different enough!

[@nkonig1]

I’ve got the 32mm Galbee and love mine. You say it’s not a beach watch and I wore mine paddling in the sea today! It’s a hardcore piece! 😅

[@drbobsnightmare2521]

I’ve told my mum to look at these! I love the guioche. But the smart link is awesome. And you can still pick those up for a relative bargain! (I may also be pushing her to it so we don’t have to compete with getting the celebration OP at the AD with each other 😂. And you said your next watch was a Neo-vintage GMT! 😢😢😢 You know the best thing about buy Cartier second hand? You’re not giving your money to Richmont. See also: Panerai. Cartier ignore what I just said and offer Britt a custom order watch with her suggestions

[@watchpapi]

I really, really loved this watch, so much more than I thought I would, just that bit more character than the new one and made me wish I’d gone two tone. ❤❤❤

[@Peter-Alexander]

Looks really awsome on you. Although I am a fan of the white dial and blue hands this millenium version also ticks all the boxes, it's beautiful. I also think the Santos Dumont and the Tank Louis Cartier in gold would look spectacular on your wrist...😊

[@Questionnaireapologetics]

Cartier makes the best 2 tone watches I agree. Close second is Rolex DJs with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Love those.

[@marcustahoun]

My late brother-in-law adored Cartier. He would have said you have great taste. Which you do.

[@ivanharlokin]

I really wanted to like the Santos. I went to the very nice Cartier AD, tried on the medium and.....nothing. It just looked to me like a bracelet with a watch attached, instead of the other way around; the dial is so discreet as to almost be absent. I ended up getting a JLC Reverso Gran Sport - watch attraction is so very subjective and personal. Thanks for the video!

[@jaybee1196]

LCS: liked, commented, subscribed.

[@MyVideosWillCalmU]

Great piece i agree with all your sentiments. Looks good on both you and your husbands wrist. I have the same medium de Cartier as him also. The only thing that stopped me buying the Galbee is the lack of water resistance. Great video video. Urban gentry Channel has done some great reviews on this piece.

[@williame2258]

Looking/sounding like the recovery is going well! Smaller watches are where it’s at! Recently purchased a sector dial Longines dolce vita and it’s awesome

[@johnrbh]

I have a 2000 SS version that my wife bought new for my birthday. My fav feature is the dial and the sapphire on the crown. Least fav feature is the size, pretty small for my 6 3/4” wrist. Even though it’s small it does have a masculine look IMO. Here is an idea for future podcast…watches with guilloche dial. I love these dials. I also have a 2001 Montblanc with a guilloche dial which is very similar.

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Oh Robert! I could talk about guilloche for a very very long time 😅😍😍😍😍 absolutely love it! And your wife is a TOP LASS for gifting you the 2000 SS version! What a watch! And you’re right! I think it’s masculine enough. It sounds like you have the same wrist size as my husband. I think it looked awesome on him!

[@kevinwalsh9483]

hey gc, i knew you were the very best in the business, and now i have proof.the galbee is the classiest watch ever made!!!!!! be it stainless or two tone. this is the only watch that is gonna cause me to make an irresponsible financial decision.

would love to hear your take on a roadster, fits the "neo vintage" 2000s era, and plenty of options from quartz to automatic. Rumors are cartier will bring back roadster this year and axe the pasha

The applied numerals of the Galbee really sets it apart from the current version for me.

You cant go wrong with a new vintage santos! and BTW, your jaw sounds better at every post - soon you will be back to normal !

[@infinity2x0]

I love the Galbee, tis my grail! I thought the white dial in blue Romans in SS was stunning but the two tone you're showing is something else entirely! The 29mm size is truly for any gender and wrist size. Your nitpick about the legibility in the dial is why I'm going for the Blue Romans on that almost parchment looking dial in the all steel model. Still, the Guilloche dial and gold Romans on the one you're presenting is giving me second thoughts. Best continued recovery to you!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

WHAT A GRAIL!!! Such a worthwhile grail!! 😍 you know, I enjoyed every second of loaning this watch. I’ve decided I need one now. 😈

[@infinity2x0]

@@BrittPearceWatches Truly, it's such a great design. You hit on the reason why I didn't like the modern version either. I also much prefer the bezel design of the older model vs the newer. As a result though, it's a shame the modern bracelet can't be fitted to the older watch but is a trade off I'm willing to make.

[@donulldh4785]

Britt!! As a life member of the Cartier cult, the models of the Santos collection are all so good. Granted this one is way to small for me, I do love the two-tone style and that dial is amazing. I also agree with Editing Britt, in that there needs to be something of contrast on the dial. Pretty sure they made a large Galbee and it had blued hands, but it had a quartz movement. Overall, I have cannot let myself dive into vintage Cartier watches, or one will follow me home. I will have to live dream through you. Long Live the Cult(s)!
