Many congratulations on a beautiful and elegant addition to your collection, Tony. I love the brown fume dial and Cartier has paired the watch perfectly with a stunning strap in the perfect color. Wear it in good health and enjoy it :)
I had been stalking the Santos when you posted a video about getting this one (which was only about a week after I discovered your channel). My only hesitation on the Santos has been "is it too dressy". After seeing the brown dial on your wrist it looks sporty as hell, that's the trick for me then, brown dial. When it's back in stock. Cheers!
Awesome video and review as usual! I was interested to hear your take, especially after picking up the santos medium about a month ago! I think with that dial color, the large definitely looks and fits the watch better imho. I preferred the medium with the white dial, having a wrist about the same size, but I really like the large with the brown dial. It’s really cool that is has lume, too. Also, congrats on having what looks to still be a pretty scratch-free bezel lol. About a month in and I’ve definitely got scratches lol, but eh, that’ll happen and I’m fine with it. Funny you mention how some watches grow on you- that was me with the santos! They released that dual time at watches and wonders and I was like ok, NOW I want a cartier after never having any interest. Then the news about that darned movement and the price came out and turned me off, but the OG santos medium really started to grow on me I love it now that I actually own it. Maybe someday they’ll come to their senses with the dual time movement… No offense on the Walmart comment lol, it’s cheap but it’s one area I cut costs so I can put extra cash towards watches to wear while I shop there😅. Have a nice 4th!
I have an earlier Santos but the one thing I love is the integrated stainless steel bracelet it really makes it a bracelet that happens to have a watch and that is why smaller watches are coming back for women, like the panther too. I think an integrated bracelet puts a watch in a separate category since it is really a total work of art and a much harder design problem to solve. Without the steel or gold bracelet it’s so much less impressive. Such a comfortable and smooth wearing design. Beautiful Santos congrats
Beautiful watch man!!! Buyer’s remorse sucks, glad you got to bond with it. I kinda wish they’d do an in between size between the medium and the large. So the medium would become the small, large still be large, but then get a new medium 🤷🏼♂️ That being said, I love my medium santos..
That's a stunning watch. It's great that you chose a colour that is completely different from the rest of your collection. It keeps the collection more interesting. There's something about that dial colour that draws you in. Wear it on good health Tony...
Hi Tony, I bought a Cartier 42 white Ballon Bleu instead of Santos and couldn’t be happier as a first watch. Insanely versatile. Didn’t want a scratch magnet as a first. However, might still get one later. Are the scratches always prominent or just in certain light?
Keep that watch Tony, you make it look good. The Jaguar tat is like embracing it. I appreciate your down to earth honest reviews - they are very helpful. Thanks for all that you do.
"Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier, 'Cause it's getting late, you can't afford to wait. So you move along where it's going on And the people of the night are playing 'til the dawn." (ELO - Sweet is the Night). I have this tune going through my head every time you bring your Cartiers out! Great looking watch! 😎👍
Nice one Tony. So since you put me onto the pasha I tried one in store and man they’re just so spectacular in person aren’t they. The whole medium/large santos argument has been bouncing around in my head for like 3 years now.. and as someone who edges on the side of preferring smaller watches, I was always thinking the medium would be the way to go.. but recently when I went in store and tried them on, I noticed that the proportions just felt better on the large. In truth, the mediums a touch too small and the large a touch too big for me, but if I do decide to pull the trigger I’d probably go the large these days. Congrats on the pick up, Cartiers are sick and like you I’m looking to expand my collection of them also!
Just to clarify on the proportions point, the medium’s dial just felt a bit too small compared to the case.. maybe it’s technically not any different in terms of ratio but to my eye it appeared that way 🤷♂️
Congratulations Tony on the watch and on another great episode. I love Cartier as well but at 53 and with diminishing eyesight, legibility has become almost the most important factor when I am choosing watches which is why I chose the large original white opaline dial over the blue and the green. I love the brown as well but it’s probably not for my eyes 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Keep bringing the great content as I follow you from India 🇮🇳
Hi Tony Mori here from South Africa, I just wanted to ask about scratches on your three cartier watches ? I know you mentioned previously that the santos was a scratch magnet just wondering how the other two models are holding up thanks for the awesome content
Have you had any issues with the 1847MC movement? Thinking of getting the white dial to contrast with my Speedmaster, but I’ve heard about some movement issues.
Great Cartier. The brown reminds me of root beer. True commentary about “bonding with a watch”. I’ve always wondered what the Warner Bros. connection is. I notice you rocking the hat in many videos. Just curious. 👍🏻
Great review Tony. In my collection I don’t own any with a case shape like this model. Did look at a Tag Heure Monaco until I looked at the price. 😳 They have gone up and I think over priced. Maybe I should look at one of these.
That Santos is a sharp watch and dressy on that gator…! Beautiful dial TG, gorgeous with that blue cabachon… Really is stunning with the polished bezel on top of the brushed area… And I like that date at 6, similar to my Oris Aquis, very balanced… WOW that watch pops!…. Looks very dressy to me…. ❤️💯👍Greg.. P. S. I would contact “Strap a Watch” Michael who makes fantastic custom straps, including genuine and beautiful alligator… Check his RUclips channel out, watch him make straps and all his info is there too…. He could make a gator strap for that Santos that will blow you away…!
5:20 I think it "looks stamped" because the people who make fakes looked to this strap as a reference. I've thought the same thing about mine too. It just looks to perfect to be real
Hi Tony! The Cartier we both were gonna buy was Dual Time till we found out Cartier was using a cheap Sellita movement. I think you made good choice picking brown dial although I prefer the bracelet over leather strap. You need a variety regarding color of dial, gets boring buying multiple blue dial only.🤔Not crazy about green dial when I saw it in person.
Many congratulations on a beautiful and elegant addition to your collection, Tony. I love the brown fume dial and Cartier has paired the watch perfectly with a stunning strap in the perfect color. Wear it in good health and enjoy it :)
Thank you man! I appreciate it. 🤙🤙

Awesome man! Glad I could be of service! 😊🤙🤙
Good point about taking a while to come around to appreciating a watch. The slow burn often lasts much longer.
Exactly! 🤙🤙
This dial color looks very sophisticated. I like it
It’s definitely a beautiful piece, especially in person.

Hey man, thanks for your comment. Happy 4th. 🤙🤙
You're back!! I've been re watching your old cartier videos haha
For some reason all of your videos weren't showing for me only the old ones I didn't know you had all these videos awesome
Ohh nvm I see you unfortunately lost your channel I'm an og fan and they decided to recommend your new channel now
Hey man. Glad you found it. It’s been about 2 years that I’ve had this channel. 🤙🤙

Beautiful Santos congrats
I agree. And thank you.
This is an awesome review, and it is such a beautiful watch. I love the slight curve, and how it sits on the wrist. 😊
Thank you. I definitely love it more than when I bought it. 😊🤙🤙

Hey man! I agree! Their sizes are all over the place. Especially with the tank! 😂😂
It’s hip to be square brother! Loving the dial!
Hell yeah man. And thank you! 😊😊🤙🤙

Hey man, congrats. Enjoy! Also, depends on how deep the scratches are.
Keep that watch Tony, you make it look good. The Jaguar tat is like embracing it. I appreciate your down to earth honest reviews - they are very helpful. Thanks for all that you do.
Thanks man! I never even thought that with my tattoo. 😂. 🤙🤙
I through the blue and green was so nice I didn’t know how Cartier could top it..and than they came out with the brown. 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks man. 🤙🤙
That’s a perfect fit for your collection. Cheers 🍻
Thanks man. 🍻🍻
Since you love the watch, I am very happy for you that you made this purchase. Congratulations.
Thank you! I appreciate it. 🤙🤙
Beautiful piece

Stunning watch the Cartier santos is the best looking Watch on the market
Thanks. 😊😊
That’s a beauty, Tony. Congratulations!

They’re good man. I tend to be fairly careful with them. Thank you!
Have you had any issues with the 1847MC movement? Thinking of getting the white dial to contrast with my Speedmaster, but I’ve heard about some movement issues.
Ive had no issues. I’ll add to the Q&A though.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony thanks for always replying, you’re the best! Always enjoy hearing your perspective.
@@shepardt thank you. 🤙🤙
Great Cartier. The brown reminds me of root beer.
True commentary about “bonding with a watch”.
I’ve always wondered what the Warner Bros. connection is. I notice you rocking the hat in many videos. Just curious. 👍🏻
Thanks man. 🤙🤙
The brown is nice. I’d save for the blue next. I want that brown. Limited. Green is more limited but it doesn’t speak to me
🤙🤙
Great review Tony. In my collection I don’t own any with a case shape like this model. Did look at a Tag Heure Monaco until I looked at the price. 😳 They have gone up and I think over priced. Maybe I should look at one of these.
Thanks man.
That thing is badass man, congrats! 🎉
Dude! Thank you. I’ll hit you up to reschedule our chat. 🤙🤙🍻🍻
this could have changed the world in two tone
Maybe! 😂😂

Thank you as always man! Love your comments! I’ll check out the strap guy. 🤙🤙
Amazing video
Thank you.
Alligators who shop at Walmart 🤣. Happy 4th of July Tony!
😂😂. Happy 4th!
You are right the straps are very low end material especially for a Cartier. Can buy same “looking” straps from other cheap internet stores
Yep.
Hey Tony, gorgeous watch! Great review.
Thank you. 🤙🤙
I like it and I’m kind of embarrassed.
Always thought Cartier was for ladies jewelry or watches. Clearly, I was wrong.
Congrats on the piece.
Thanks man. 🤙🤙
That watch is a keeper. Congrats Tony.
Thank you. 🤙🤙
5:20 I think it "looks stamped" because the people who make fakes looked to this strap as a reference. I've thought the same thing about mine too. It just looks to perfect to be real
Maybe so. 🤔
Couldn’t think of a watch which suits you less
🤷
Great British accent….. can we have some more 😂
lol. Thanks. 😂🤙🤙
The brown is fantastic.
Agreed. 🤙🤙
Dial is very good looking in person
Definitely.
Love the brown dial.
🤙🤙😊😊
It looks really cool 😎 🤎
Thanks. 🤙🤙
Not a big cartier guy but I must that dail is very nice good luck were it in good health
Thank you. 🤙🤙
How much did you pay for it ?
Retail

Yes! Exactly. The Dual Time. No good. And I agree. 🤙🤙
The only thing holding me back from buying this is because of the size. Either too small or too big on my wrist.
Yeah, I understand that!
Still the no date Medium Santos for better fit and symmetry
For you maybe.
Surprised you went for the Large size
🤷
Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
