Now that... is a Chap's watch!
Absolutely.
My father bought this marvellous watch on a whim in an airport in 1988. He says he’s worn it nearly everyday since and has never desired buying a different one. He will pass it down to when I become the age he was when he bought it.
certainly not the average joe xD casually dropping a few grand on a whim in an airport
A watch to wear and enjoy. The customer experience proves that Cartier respect their customers, unlike other companies.
I recently purchased a Santos Medium and am really enjoying it. It is so different from anything else in my collection and the experience at the Cartier Boutique was fantastic. Congratulations on your new Santos!
I was stalking a Santos when I came across your post here. Like having the ability to adjust the bracelet without tools. I’m sure a Santos De Cartier will be joining my collection soon. Probably the exact model shown here. Imagine a “classier” experience consisting of being treated like a valued customer instead of a peasant 😅. Great observation.
Nice purchase, I think you made the right move.
Your ensemble is perfect for you, the Santos is a timely purchase. Seconds to none.😋 . Proof that a chap needs both a Cartier and a couturier.
Welcome to Cartier, Santos is a great everyday watch from the brand and the white dial has such excellent legibility compared to the other colour dial offerings. Everyone talks about the bezel scratching and how it's a downside. I've learned to enjoy my bezel scratches which actually has a kind of "raining effect" when I move it left to right slowly.
One thing they never tell you about is the plastic protector. The sides of the plastic protector can fray over time and stick out at just the perfect angle to scratch the sides of your Santos with complete ease. Even worse is the fact that these scratches will stand out as it goes against the brushing on the sides. Better to store the Santos in the travel pouch over the watch box if you are going to frequently wear it. Leave the plastic protector in your watch box and don't use it unless you are taking it back to service.
If you register your watch on the Richemont Enquirus lost and stolen watch/jewllery database, the integrated bracelet has it's own serial numbers separate to the watch.
Very useful information. Thank you.
This has got to be the most pleasant background I’ve ever seen on YT.
Ash, your suites as of late have been splendid! You portray a classic gentleman who knows how to embellish in a subtle manner.
Glad you like them!
Would that be a bathroom suite or a three piece suite, like a sofa and 2 armchairs
Love your set up. The red box, contrasted with those lush green woods and bluebells.. beautiful. So nice to see the warm weather return
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great choice. I love my medium Santos.
Love the shirt. Great subtle pattern, classic and classy. Pairs fantastic with your coat and tie, and the collar is absolutely perfect.
Wao you wear it so elegant 👌🏽, it suits your suits. Congrats on your new acquisition.
Great video!! Great choice!! The Santos holds its own against any watch in your collection and fits your RUclips dress style perfectly. Looks great with the leather strap too.
Congratulations on your new watch. I love my Santos de Cartier. However, my Santos is the two tone model. It’s still basically silver but all the screws are gold.
Congratulations on a great choice in watches!!!!!
Congratulations. Cartier is pure class
Honestly, it is a beautiful piece. I’m pleased you and the watch are joined together.
Just a lovely watch! I'm sitting here smiling for you feeling your joy. Instant subscribe.
Thank you kindly!
BIG CONGRATS!!! Great purchase. Very Happy for you!
Congratulations. A very special Cartier indeed. Excellent choice
Congratulations!!! Class all the way! Beautiful timepiece.
Congratulations on your new watch. It looks amazing! Enjoy in good health. 🎉
I can agree with the branding. I had a great experience purchasing my Cartier santos large. No bs, No hassle. Congratulations.
@The Chap’s Guide: “The merry dance to own a Rolex” is such an excellent (and British) way to put it. I, too, recently had similar experience at my local Omega boutique.
There’s always a great story behind a great watch, and once again, you’ve accomplished this endeavor exceptionally. That really is a nice watch, Ash-enjoy it in health and prosperity!
Great customer service.
Congratulations! This is one gem, in deed.
Fabulous Ash…I can imagine Terry Thomas in his heyday wearing that.
Great choice Ash - I’ve had my eye on one too, enjoy
It is a nice and unique Cartier watch. It suits you very much. Glad you went for another brand of watch. Congratulations !!
Congrats on the new piece, it's a beautiful watch.
Enjoy
Beautiful watch, thanks for sharing, Ash.
Congratulations! That watch is pure class! I'm always jealous when my wife wears her small tank...
What are the dimensions please including the winder? Does your wife have the small rose gold on the tan croc strap? I’m trying to find the dims including the winder and not just the case. Thank you.
Congratulations, excellent choice and very well done!
Congrats, beautiful watch! Real classic.
Great choice Ash. It’s a true classic. I was unaware of the quick change bands. Very cool feature. Wear it in good health, and please keep the wonderful videos coming.
Dear Ash, Thank you for this enjoyable video. Personally the Speedy is my grail. But the Cartier really fits you well, a perfect match. Your Rolex experience matches mine, they make us beg for bad treatment and this is exactly the opposite of what Omega do. The Cartier experience as I like to call it is similar to my purchase of the Moonwatch which, to this day, is a really nice memory, like your Cartier purchase. Feels good, is fun and I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it. 😎👍🏻 Best regards, Tim
A great video and an excellent purchase, if I'd not bought my Reverso last year, I would have gone for this exact santos. I love its simplicity.
I wasnt aware of the history of the Santos, thankyou for sharing. I think an interesting heritage is an exciting bonus for an watch purpose.
Going to add this watch to my collection, but the black ADLC version. Looks nice 👌
Gorgeous watch, congratulations. Likewise, I purchased a Santos 100 medium back in 2007 for precisely the same reasons you mention. It’s a timeless classic, very comfortable on the wrist, and extremely versatile. I recently dropped the watch off at Cartier for servicing and also had an excellent customer experience which was very refreshing.
Congratulations. It is a great choice. Wear it in good health as they say 🥂
Classy watch befitting of a classy gentleman like yourself.Enjoy.
Perfect choice Ash and a true Gentleman’s watch. You have in essence, the first Pilot’s watch. I sincerely hope you enjoy wearing your excellent choice.
Congratulations, that’s a beautiful piece. It’s in my wish list and hoping to get one by year’s end. Cheers!
That is absolutely gorgeous! That was a wise choice sir. The leather strap makes it look completely different. The Cartier makes the Rolex look agricultural by comparison and what a lovely buying experience that you enjoyed.
I wish you the health and wealth to enjoy wearing on all sorts of occasions.
You have good taste . I’m another watch guy that’s bored with oyster type sports watches . I’ve been eye balling the very watch you have but in Canada it’s going for around 10K . If my investments pay off I may very well buy one .
Nice story; enjoy!
Congratulations on an excellent choice! Looks great; enjoy an wear it in good health!
I think the watch looks fabulous. My wife wears a Cartier Francaise which she purchased 25 years ago. It still looks great, I have often considered getting the male version. Good choice 👍
Lovely item, Ash. And I agree, nice to go for a different shape. You have whetted my appetite.
Thanks for the review my man , I never knew you got the extra strap ( nice option) . I also wanted a Rolex for a while now but I refuse to play the game of the AD’s , the way you purchased your watch is the way customer service should be done.
Excellent choice, that exact reference is my next watch - I’m bored with Rolex (I have Rolex and Tudor etc).
Excellent choice!
Touch of class.Well wear☘️
That suit is amazing.
Looks great on you! I think it’s going to be the beginning of a great friendship.
That’s going to look amazing with the textured dinner jacket!
No wait list. I am sold 😂. But seriously a very beautiful watch
Indeed. Wear it in good health.
Great choice! That and the Datejust would make a fantastic 2 piece collection..
It fit your hand well, i think the santos fit wearing a suit well too, the medium size is the best really perfect choice 👌👌
A beautiful watch. Congratulations!
Very classy watch Ash, looks perfect on your wrist and very versatile with the different strap options.
Brilliant video. I was lucky to recieve the exact same watch as a present last Christmas. Agree with everything Ash said about this beautiful piece.
I was a bit worried about scratching the bezel after reading people's reviews about it being a scratch magnet but I haven't had any problems so long as it is given a bit of respect and realise it is not a chunky tool watch. 8 years guarantee is unbelievable.😊
Congratulations! You had mentioned that you were eyeing a Cartier. Looks great with that smart blazer.
Congrats wear it in good health and many thanks for sharing your classy thoughts and experience ✌️
Congratulations Ash, that is a nice watch. You have me seriously interested!
The black strap will look great with the black / white face. Congrats!
As much as it saddens me that we will no longer see the Explorer on the channel again, its my favourite watch of all time and it is the watch i'm currently saving up for right now (about 3/4th there), but Cartier is very close to my heart too as i'm the owner (for about 10 years now) of a Cartier - Must de cartier 23mm that used to belong to my Nan, it was slow to gel with I think I wore it 3 times in 4 years but I eventually got a Dark Green Alligator Strap for it, it pretty much became my every day wear for about 5 years and even now at least once a week. I loved how it looked and how it mad me feel. A great watch brand, welcome to the club ;)
I was in the same position oy you, I was dreaming for a explorer 36mm then I bought a Cartier santos medium. I still want a explorer,don’t do the same mistake I did, buy explorer first, then if you still want you can always buy the cartier, my humble opinion. Best regards
I went to an AD two months ago and tried on the Ronde Must and the Santos medium. I liked both. A lot.
Beautiful watch.
Congratulations!
Pure class.
Great move - very nice watch - now I am tempted to
It's certainly a great fit. It sits a lot lower on the wrist than I would have expected. A really great choice, I'd say. Congratulations!
Great video. I have an older Santos, the 29mm Carree. It fits my 6.5 inch wrist perfectly. I also bought a Cartier tank must in the Large which is really the medium. I bought this on the Bracelet and it has quick release as well. I look forward to seeing your other videos 😊
Congratulations on your purchase Ash. Lovely watch & Im sure it will bring you years of pleasure. Just need to pair it off with a nice pair of Santos sunglasses in time for summer!😁
Can't wait to hear about the sale.
I've been eyeing the Santos Medium for a few years now and if it had a date at 6 o'clock (like the larger model does), I might have already purchased it. However, until the day a "Medium Date" makes its way to the catalogue, I'll keep checking the ever increasing prices of vintage Santos Galbees and Carees, sighing and pondering.
Excellent purchase, Ash! Wear it in good health.
Nice blazer, very elegant! I love the colors
I would love a Santos. 😍 Beautiful and timeless. You referenced Rolex for their stupid games is the reason I have recently bought a Tudor, Omega and a Longines. All with a great customer service experience.
Good choices sir!
Great watch and great decision. There is so much packed into this watch. So much history, style, and innovation. Je nais se quoi! No other house does it better than Cartier.
I just bought a Cartier Santos Medium today, and I'm so happy to add this to my collection. Your video gave me the extra motivation to make this purchase. I really appreciate your insights on this watch, especially as I was getting a bit tired of chunky Rolex. Your reviews have truly refined my taste. Thank you!
I purchased it at a nearby AD instead of BT and also received excellent service. It was a much better experience than buying a Rolex from a second-hand store.
Wonderful!
Big hug from Portugal Ash!
Great choice ❤
I think you’re great! Very unique and very British!
Very nice choice, Ash. That's a handsome watch indeed. Agree it's dressier than the Rolex, at least for my taste. Yet it's not limited from being a daily wearer. So this will be your EDC --"Every Day Cartier"!
Love Cartier Santos, thanks for sharing your nice exp. to buy this watch.
Congrats! Wear in good health. Looks beautiful on the leather. I love Cartier. Seems like one can enjoy Cartier and be more of a “chap” without the Rolex belittlement. And I see nothing clunky about the date just. Be well.
Beautiful choice! Honestly I never considered adding a Cartier to my collection because all I knew of them was the tank watch, which I always found to be too dainty. You put me on to the Santos model and now it’s on my wish list for the dress category. I’ll be getting the large version though because with my work a date function is a non-negotiable. Thanks for the tips
Beautiful piece Ash! As something of an aviator’s watch this will look fantastic with a safari shirt and/or leather jacket.
Fantastic! I've been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@TheChapsGuide I did, sir. Thank you.
Excellent video and well spoken
Congrats on the purchase. Cartier is not only known for their design but they really are a great movement maker. That is an absolutely amazing watch.
i wish they had an open back for the santos
Absolutely .. so many Air heads who just want Rolex etc they have zero clue about mechanical pieces is hilarious.. Cartier is a fantastic choice I own the santos green dial large model.. Absolutely beautiful pure elegance 🎉 enjoy 👍
Love the journey
Wear it in good health Ash!
Fantastic watch. Have to agree with your assesment Vs the reverso. The Santos is one of the most comfortable and versitile watches ive ever tried on. I adore the reverso but its very much a dress watch so youve found a happy medium with the santos
Similar story. Ive been wearing Omega for years. Recently bought a Cartier Tank. I wasnt 100% sure I'd made the right choice at first but after a few weeks I've fallen in love with it. Beautiful watches.
absolute class and great shirt and tie combo too
Much appreciated!
You should have tried the reverso in the smaller sizes that one in the picture looks like a large size medium is perfect for average size wrists😊
I tried all the JLC options, they simply did not chime with my tastes (and they are a touch too fragile for my lifestyle).
