Cartier power reserve lets it down badly but cartier seems immune to things like that, a quartz in the range is a death sentence to many brands but not Cartier. If Still like to see Cartier movement go to 60-70 hours power reserve though .
Cartier is sex on the wrist. Rolex is just a clitoris....evert c#nts got one
What do you think of the bruce wayne on Jubilee?
@@josephlukman9322 killer watch. Definitely want to add it to my collection. I think it’s an even better option than the batgirl imo
We have the same opinion and taste. I love the Batgirl, and now I've taken a liking to the Bruce Wayne, too. Great watches that can be worn daily with pride and joy.
@@josephlukman9322 100% agree with you bud
Nice dial, awful bracelet, if I were to get one, I would immediately remove bracelet, & put it on a nice strap
@@marcusherts9345 honestly I thought it wasn’t too great at first but after having it on for a while I really started enjoying it
Love my Santos. I have the white dial. Wanted a classic look. It brings a smile to me every time its on. Great watch that can fit into a number of situations, work, going out, outdoors. But my god it is a scratch magnet 😅
@@gordonjeffrey231076 couldn’t agree more! (Even about the part of it being a scratch magnet)
To me the Santos is a little too delicate. Just for me personally though. I'm a big guy so it doesn't suit me.
I don’t buy a watch to impress anybody else, but to bring me joy, I’m too old to care if others like it or are impressed. Personally I have often had great conversations with other Rolex owners just due to the shared passion of Rolex. Sitting on a flight, 2 x 3 seat configuration, 5 out of us 6 turned out to wear a Rolex, which 4 of us noticed already before take off, bringing us a knowing smile between complete strangers. That’s what I like, people who appreciate a Rolex and have it because they like it, not because they think, do others think it’s cool or is it common.
I hare santos, the only square watch that looks good is a JAEGER-LECOULTRE REVERSO CLASSIC DUOFACE SMALL SECONDS
Decent, would’ve been better with a jubilee bracelet in my opinion and 41mm is a better option too, depending on your wrist/height. But not a bad datejust
@@CharmingReality I agree. The datejust belongs on a jubilee 100%
Good video, and a beautiful watch. I just don't understand why so many of you are willing to play these games with the authorized dealers: forming phony friendships, buying jewelry you don't need and don't want, visiting the dealership weekly to prove your worth, submitting to background checks and questioning ... all in the hopes that you will be chosen to spend tens of thousands of dollars.
@@jamesmoninger1982 thank you! And I agree. Most of us work really hard for our earnings and we shouldn’t be pushed to buy stuff we don’t want in our collection or jewel that we don’t need. In my opinion, when the difference in price is not crazy I think it is more than reasonable to get a watch on the great market.
It should have a fluted bezel. Magnifying glass and omega inprinted around the second markers then it would be better then the date just
If you regrets buying please sell it at the retail price and you will make a lot of follewer happy..
@@micaljimenez7381 that’s what I plan on doing Not looking to profit off of it
@@monarchtimepiececollection congratulation,because we are so tired to see rolex so expensive in grey market,best regards
I own both i have the 2 tone Santos large and a DJ41 with Azzuro bkue dial. The price points not being equal aside. They are equally beautiful and Amazing watches. The Datejust you compare to the Santos is the least attractive and desirable in the ROLEX collection.
I never liked the existing GMT's ugly colored bezels, like the red, blue, green and root-beer colors. These unattractive colors made the beautiful GMT look like a kiddie toy. Happy that Rolex released their new Grey/Black colored bezel which is called the Bruce Wayne model. I just bought it. Of course this is a very personal taste and your taste may not be as good as mine. If you have good taste, like mine, then look for Rolex GMT II model 126710GRNR.
No your not a idiot,great choice,probably the only watch you need,❤️👍🏴
@@charleslyall4911 thank you! I’m really loving it
I’m going for the 41 bicolour on the rubber strap,thanks ❤️🏴👍
Love the santos !
i get it... but bro also got the most boring datejust , so nobrainer the Cartier is better. i have the dj36 jubilee silver dial and ill never sell tbis watch..i consider buying a midsize blue santos as daily , cause im concerned the rolex gets attention of some robbers on the street
@@mike15. I think the only DJ that has a solid contention to being a good configuration is a blue dial or a black dial. White, silver, grey, or grey just don’t look great on it. But even then I think the Santos is overall a better choice. If you gotta worry about a DJ being recognized and think what you have to do to avoid getting it stolen then that for me is enough of a reason to ruin the joy of wearing it. A santos is gonna get recognized as well. Thieves know watches better than most of us and need to be able to recognize pieces from all brands.
Santos for sure but I think the better size is the medium
I agree. The medium size has better proportions. At the time they didn’t have the blue dial in the medium but now that they do I kinda wish I could have it in the medium size
OMEGA seamaster300 pro chronograph is better than a speedmaster to me. 2tone with blk and sedna gold with dark coffe leather band hybrid rubber band and gold sedna clasp.
Oooofff that sounds like a killer setup. But I see you seamaster 300 chrono and raise you my new dark side of the moon Apollo 8 that I’m gonna do a video on soon!
The Cartier Santos is an iconic beauty but I would not buy one. Why? Because the Santos is very scratch prone, especially on the high polished bezel. Cartier knows about this flaw and refuses to fix it, meanwhile, RUclipsrs keep making excuses for the flawed and subpar metal casing. Silver colored watches, such as stainless steel and titanium, are the defacto metal of choice. Why, in 2024, aren't manufacturers making "scratch-proof" watches? There are PVD coatings and nomenclatures like 316L steel, super titanium, TinSkin 3.0, and platinum encasements. A company as profitable and well funded as Cartier has no excuse for making watches that are scratch prone. Invest a little R&D and fix this problem. It's not just a Cartier problem, but most luxury watchmakers don't put in the effort to ensure their watches are "scratch-proof" or as scratch resistant as possible. It's a shame. For this reason alone I would never buy a Cartier Santos. Profits above all. So what are the most scratch resistant metals? Tegiment steel and UltraHex titanium.
Although that is true, and several company’s are making scratch resistant watches with newer materials, but Cartier does have a PVD santos now which imo is stunning. Along with there are newer santos models that have ceramic or pvd bezels to combat this pronation to scratches. Although I agree that the stainless steel isn’t as scratch proof as other materials, I believe brands still use it for its durability and versatility. I’m sure it’s cost effective and yields a greater return but overall I think it’s safe to say that most collectors prefer to have a SS watch in their collection opposed to other materials other than precious metals
@@monarchtimepiececollection Stainless steel is an umbrella term. There are stainless steels that prone to scratches and stainless steels that are not prone to scratches, as well as coatings too, which we've both mentioned. Having the bezel on a Cartier Santos scratched by something as innocuous as the cuff of your shirt is unforgivable.
@@davidhunternyc1 you’re right. It is prone to being scratched by a fabric stitched shirt, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting it. Nothing a quick polish can’t remove. But if that factor robs you from enjoying the Watch to his full potential, I completely agree and understand. There are certain aspects to other watches that do not make them feasible for my collection or taste. It’s always to consider every factor when adding a watch to the collection and what they’re made of is something most don’t consider as much as they should
I love my Rolex Datejust 40, but not enough to hold on to it. I gave it to my younger sister. I’m getting the Cartier Santos (medium) but in the white dial.
Very nice. I’m sure you won’t regret it. The santos is another level of uniqueness, class, and quality that most Rolex models won’t give you. Enjoy it! IMO the medium size is the perfect size/dimensions for the santos
amazing comparison, i was trying to decide which watch to kickoff my collection and this video helped TONS! earned a sub
Thanks bud! Glad to have you and welcome!
Pepsi is iconic but in my opinion that’s is its only draw over the Batgirl. Pure aesthetics Batgirl is perfection. Also, it makes more sense for GMT function with Blue being for day and Black for night.
"Iconic" in this context means "based on hype." At some point, the fury over this watch model will end, and how will that portend for the thousands of you who spent about $23,000 for a $9,000 watch?
@@jamesmoninger1982 I refused to pay grey prices. While I do believe that it will retain its inflated prices I’m so glad that I waited bc I eventually got the call.
I have the Black Bay 41 Manufacture Calibre MT5601 as my daily wear, like the clean look with the beautiful blue dial and 5 link jubilee bracelet, don't mind it getting trashed around but I really want to get my hands on a Large Cartier SANTOS DE CARTIER. It's literally an objective I must get my hands on one, but when I do get to that point I'm unsure on whether I should get the white dial which is the classic and just right look for the watch or a blue dial because all my other watches I have are all blue dial and I just have a clear likeness for a blue dial watch. Appreciate anyone with any suggestions.
Highly recommend getting a santos. I prefer the blue dial on the large model honestly because it has a sunburn effect to it, the markers are applied and it looks a bit sleeker with the contrast of the stainless steel and blue dial. The white dial is elegant and on the brown strap it comes with will be an even more versatile watch. I put the santos on a blue rubber strap and it was the perfect tweak to it for it to be a daily wearer. The white dial looks a bit too flat for me imo
@@monarchtimepiececollection Appreciate the response and feedback mate! And thank you for the input.
@@Big_H2 of course! More than happy to help
Do you have to wind it ?
Watching this video, I think the large would have been your fit for sure
Thank you! I ended up getting the large and i’m really glad with it
Get rid of the ridiculous music.
Noted
I love both,i worn a santos automatjque years ago,it was great,very eficient acuracy,elegant and perfect to wear everyday,only problem the strap open all the time alone...after i worn a rolex airking 34mm,super nice too,perfect acuracy,problem again with the strap who open quickly...but the best is to have the 2...if you can,look so diferent ,perfect collection,dont need any more...
Agreed. I also think (depending on the bracelet) the santos will age a lot better than a day date as well.
I think so too
Going for a Santos as well. But with a white dial. In medium without the date complication.
Excellent configuration! That to me is probably the most classic Santos
Had both and sold the Tudor. I've a 7ish wrist and the Tudor appears to be much thicker with slab side even though it's not. The bracelet is very tricky to get a decent watch and it also doesn't have the heritage and back story of what is possibly the most iconic watch ever made so for me it's the moon watch and omega over Tudor all day. Although I like Tudor they are not omega and never will be. They sort of fill a part of three market all on their own
Gotta agree with you on this one. I recently got an omega speedmaster dark side of the moon and it is 1000/10 better than the Tudor. Also got an Aqua Terra recently and it is leaps and bounds better than any black bay will ever be
I think as much as Tudor are in house and are very solid well engineered and reasonably finished, they just feel like second best behind a true industry leader like Omega. I'm biased, my omegas along along with my habring are my favourite watches. I do have an explorer and datejust but these sit behind omega for me
If you were going to buy it again, would you get a different dial option?
Without a doubt. Either a blue dial or a black dial
@@monarchtimepiececollection I had the silver, now contemplating either black or blue.
@@TheAmericanStranger1 if you want something sleek I’d say black but blue is a bit more desirable and goes with suits and casual wear a bit better
Both are tacky AF.
I just recently purchased a Cartier Santos blue face. And i feel much happier with it than when i was purchasing my new OP Rolex. 😂
Great taste 🤌🏼🤌🏼
What a decent inteligent description!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Im gonna take that as a compliment, so, thank you!
@@monarchtimepiececollection it is a fact! Amazing content. 👍🏼
Is this medium or large?
Large
son you need to go back learning geometry and you will understand why rolex is better
Just bought one couple of days ago at the dealer (in San Jose, California). $15,600+tax. Just came in from Switzerland and put in showroom sameday. Was simply window shopping after a layoff. What luck! No clue it was such a popular version. Its gorgeous.
That’s awesome! Getting it at retail is a steal. Probably the best all in one Rolex imo. Congratulations and enjoy it!
Neither! Rolex is a watch for overpaid Ball Players and Pimps. Santos has a Cabochon and can only be worn along with a Cartier Purse. Therefore, they are both FAILURES!
get the Seamaster 300 41mm Blue face. Much nicer
Can’t argue there. The SM 300 is a great configuration for a daily wear for sure
Ah good it’s not just me. I feel the same. I have a Daytona ceramic black face and I struggle to glance and see the time. I have to inspect it to work it out as so much on the face. When I wear my vintage sub or my batgirl a prefer it a quick glance and it’s clear and easy to see the time. Maybe I will sell the Daytona or set ex it and get a Pepsi alongside the batgirl
The sub and the gmt are the best to quickly tell the time by far. Couldn’t agree more
But being that there is almost no bezel, the dial is huge right? Wat bigger than a datejust 40 for example
@@monarchtimepiececollection ok I see, I'm really torn between 40 and 35, not sure... I'll measure my wrist first
@@frblaze2 good thinking!
Hmmm no Tag Chrono for an F1 enthusiast?
The glass box in black is a stunner too! I have a regular white 3 hand so I can’t justify getting the same size and brand again… plus I have an Aquaracer. I hate this addiction
It’s just nicer and built like a tank. So yea this one
Awesome video the Batman’s my daily might get a speedmaster next. The Batman is that perfect Rolex
Couldn’t agree more! Check out the new white dial speedy! Looks pretty clean 👍🏼 I have a dark side of the moon speedmaster that I’m gonna do a video on and sell afterwards if you’re interested!
Santos Large only bro. the medium is too girly no matter the wrist size... you chose the correct size..it looks boss.
Santos all the way no question. My Submariner stays home more than my Santos.
I like this Aqua terra, specifically blue dial, and am closely eyeing them off on the secondary market, i reckon a good deal can be had there.
