I've been obsessing about this watch for a few months and finally pulled the trigger a few of days ago. I went back and forth between the medium and the large quite a bit and finally decided on the medium for my 7" wrist. The way this thing feels on the wrist is amazing. The comfort and wearability is next level. It's almost like it was made specifically for my wrist. I couldn't be happier with my decision to get it.

Nice! It's a perfect one watch collection.

sgwatch · 15 April 2021, 01:20 PM

Looks great on you. I also prefer the medium, both for its size and clean dial (no date)

This. Congratulations on your new Cartier.

tedo · 15 April 2021, 01:31 PM

Excellent choice, the Santos is a classic that will always be desirable.

Brady2117 · 15 April 2021, 01:59 PM

Totally agree! I sold my DJ41 and eventually decided on the Santos in LG and absolutely love it! Goes well in my collection with submariner date, Hulk, Explorer II polar.

Thanks Everyone!

Brady, Have you purchased any other straps for yours?

When I purchased my Santos I was able to negotiate a "complimentary" strap.
They brought out a starp swatch book and I picked out a dark blue alligator leather strap.
It takes 12wks, so when I get it I'll post pic.

very nice! congratulations.

that is the medium correct? i very much like the balance of the size and lack of date.

soxxel · 16 April 2021, 03:32 PM

Just picked mine up last week. I never thought I'd find a rival to my oyster bracelet from a comfort level but Cartier knocked it out of the park with this one

Hendrikus · 16 April 2021, 05:44 PM

I agree that the Cartier bracelet is hard to beat. Also so easy to adjust the links in and out too. Perfect.

The Santos is seriously under-rated.

tedo · 16 April 2021, 11:11 PM

By far one of my favorite watch designs

Dino944 · 16 April 2021, 11:18 PM

Congrats and enjoy it! Its a fantastic watch. I love mine.

EEpro · 16 April 2021, 11:20 PM

This one has been catching my eye. Great choice for a dress sport slider!

brandrea · 16 April 2021, 11:24 PM

Congratulations Bob, it looks perfect on you.

Can you please share some pictures of the watch from a profile view of the case? I’d love to see how much lug taper there is.

awesome piece! I am also oscillating between sizes.. and a big part of me tells me the medium is the better option for 7 inch wrists ...

I’m can’t decide between medium and large because I love a date function. Gonna go and try both on this week.

Trying both on is a must. It wasn't an easy choice. Both would have worked on my 7" wrist. I ended up choosing the medium because of the clean dial without date and it felt more at home on my wrist. A bonus of the medium is my wife can wear it as well.

Are you sure that’s a bonus?

Maybe not. She wore it today and She's already looking at strap options.
There may be another Cartier in our future. Maybe the solar powered Tank.
Here is her wrist shot :)

cuibono · 17 April 2021, 12:31 PM

Great watch. My eldest prefers it ("the square watch dad") to my skydweller.

I have the 100 XL. They’re fantastic watches. Congrats

Congrats! I was just looking and trying on a couple santos the other day at the AD. Went with something else but def keeping an eye on it as a potential purchase

I did the same thing and went with something else. I ended up back buying the Santos a few weeks later. I wear the Santos more than what I bought instead of it.
