Cartier Santos Carree buying advice needed!

[watchingnwaiting]

Hi guys, I have the opportunity to purchase this Santos Carree and was wondering what you think about the condition? It's recently serviced and has had its hands, dial and crown replaced. I think it looks good but having so many parts replaced, is that a bad thing? I'm buying this more for wearing than collecting if that makes a difference. Any help is appreciated!

I think it depends on the price, Santos Carrees have been having a bit of a moment. If you primarily want to wear a clean example, well, this looks incredibly clean!

Thanks for the reply! I went down to see it and got it! Yes, it's super clean plus the bracelet is in amazing condition.

Congratulations, it's a beauty! I recently had a vintage Santos refurbished and cleaned up by Cartier. (There's a post in this forum about it.)

I think it's a great move, and you did well, considering how difficult it was to find extra links for mine, coupled with the price I paid to get a new bracelet, bezel, etc direct from Cartier.

Love it! I just got one myself near mint condition from Werner Watches in germany. He does a new vintage watch drop every 6 weeks roughly. He still has a few carrees available..
