    Good morning Bruce. I hope you don't mind me asking a question about this Santos you bought. I not on social media so this was the only way I could think of to contact you. I've been following your Santos videos, which really got me thinking about purchasing one. (By the way, I love the videos, keep it up.) On the Cartier website they show two models that look exactly alike, both physically and in their specifications. The model #'s are WSSA0009 and WSSA0018. If you don't mind could you please tell which model you purchased?
    Thanks in advance, Brian
