I might as well get as much use as I can from my new lens. Here's the detail on the seven that occurs on all cartiers with ruman numerals. This is on my circa 1976 Santos. It's a great dress watch but in need of some refinishing. (Too many small scratches).

That's fantastic, Adrian. I got out my Cartier tank watch (early '80s vintage), and took a look at the VII with my jeweler's loupe. Sure enough - there it was! It is really much too small to see with the naked eye (especially with MY eyesight).

Excellent!!! That macro lens of yours is unbelievable!!!

I never knew that about Cartier

Great shot, Adrian

I had exactly the same watch!

The jeweler replaced the strap with a very nice Piaget aligator strap free of charge. I sold it later on.

I love mine. I wear it, but not as much as the Rolexes. The watch is completely original, including the strap. I have kept it in mint condition. My wife has one just like it, but a smaller version. They are definitely "dress" watches - much too small to wear for anything else.

Do you know the case is solid silver with gold plating? The best way to do it bar solid gold of course, or do you have the solid gold version?

No, it is the vermeil version. You had that type as well?? I couldn't afford TWO of the solid gold versions at the time.

I'm quite pleased with it but I do use some digital enlarging as well. With 12 megapixels you can increase it quite a bit.

Again, HOLY MOLEY!!! I have a Canon with 8 megapixels, and thought that was heavy-duty. Jeez Adrian, you could look at the molecules in the "Cartier" logo on your Santos with that!!!

Congrats on a fine camera AND a fine macro lens!

Which Cartier, clogz? Its not well seen on mine with the naked eyes! You may be referring to the Santos, or some of the larger Cartier watches.

clogz · 31 July 2006, 09:49 PM

I have to apologise, I checked the first post here and it was different Cartier. Anyway, same form of case, hard to say about size compared. Same kinda detail in "seven" in roman number.
