It is an extra strap you have to order from Cartier, think it was ~$350.

I saw the green Santos in person yesterday at a Cartier boutique. I like it. Don’t know that it would be one I would purchase but it’s nice. I did pick up a nice panther ring however!

Sorry, just saw your question. I am not sure, as they did make sure to let me know that they were providing me with a "geste commercial" for the bracelet. I thought they were just offering me a discount, but my SA thought that they were doing me a favor by even offering to sell a new bracelet for that model.

So, to answer your question: I don't know. lol

Just picked up my dearly-departed uncle’s Santos.

He was quite meticulous about servicing his watch. I wonder if I’m going to have the same issue finding links…

I’ve owned the skeleton and the large white one and they’ve always felt large for me. This time I went with the blue medium and I am loving it. Abit more dressy, lighter and more of that nautilus silky airy feeling if you know what I mean :)

Congrats!

I recently tried this one on, and loved the blue dial and the MEDIUM size.

Wear in good health!

Thinking about the DLC version but don't know if it chips easily and will end up looking ratty or not

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. To mark the occasion we chose “matching” Santos watches. Hers is in these pics. Mine will not be available until next week as the medium sized Santos was not available at the time.

Hers is a Santos Dumont Large in Yellow Gold with blue dial.

I almost went that route...I decided on YG DayDate 40. I have steel Santos in LG so thought I'd go DD40. Although that YG Santos looks fantastic

Also my steel Santos shows so many blemishes/scratches (still love it) so other and last reason for not buying YG Santos.

Thanks. This one is actually Rose Gold. The nearest AD actually had both yellow and rose today so I got to try both. This one blended in with my skin, whereas the yellow popped. I figured I would wear the blended look more often….hence the choice. I can’t pull off the gold santos in LG. I tried it on several times and each time I immediately said no.

The YG DayDate is a great choice. Total classic. My dad has one that will likely be mine one day, but I am not looking forward to it. It’s better on his wrist.

Yeah I tried the YG and RG and the RG was definitely better looking on my skin tone as well. Name:  20230126_142925.jpg
