Thank you for your review. I just gifted my self the Santos Medium today, i have been eyeing it for a year. Although it was cheaper earlier but i am glad i got it before it is too late! Definitely matches my interest in its Heritage and Prestige. 👏
Congrats on the Santos! Enjoy! 👍
Cartier are an elite watchmaker who manufacture geneva seal pieces. They have been making watches longer than most brands. Great brand that offers a nice spread of price point and complications. Great review 🙂
Cartier has been making watches longer than all brands. They invented the wrist watch.
@@bdegrds a great brand, I believe they created the first gentleman's wrist watch and Patel Phillipe created the first wrist watch, but was for ladies. The wrist watch that Cartier created however is the format that everybody wears today and the PP wrist watch was much more jewellery focused, like an intricate bracelet that told you the time fashioned from solid gold. Am sure that was very beautiful at the time.
It really depends tho.... it’s true they make good complications and no doubt about their history, but the entry level offerings, ones that people actually could buy, are kind of meh. Both the tank and santos at stainless steel are pretty pricey for what they are. Just an opinion.
I just ordered mine yesterday. It's arriving tomorrow, very excited. My friend who is a luxury watch enthusiast said the black bezel stands out too much and doesn't make it look classy... he was saying get the silver one
I prefer this bezel over the polished one because I hate scratches, but i agree that the polished one looks a lot more elegant
In love with this exact model! Tried to get one last week but my AD told me that there is 6 months waiting list.
Really? i got this exact watch brand new about a month ago for 6950 euro [about 700euro discount] from the biggest AD in my country.
And this is actually my first luxury watch ever so i had nothing to show for.
However i remember him showing me the blue and white dial ones to and remember him saying this was a harder version for him to come by and he didnt think he could get another one for that price especialy.
Anyway hope u will find your WSSA0037 soon to and for a honest price 👌Its a great watch i have zero regrets getting one.
I got one from the Cartier store. One Cartier shop had sold out but I was able to walk in and grab one from another location here in NorCal.
FWIW, every Cartier AD I've been in recently in the Washington DC area has had white dialed Santos models in large and medium size in stock. But only the Cartier boutique had the various blue and gray dial variants available.
Yeah, the white dialed are more common. I heard the blue and this one already have a waitlist of 2 years at my AD…
Actually in Britain there seems to be no waitlist for any of them, plus you get up to 4 years interest-free credit, which may be worth it if they go up in price…
Agreed Cartier is a real watch through and through. I’m Debating buying a skeleton Santos at the moment.
Wow the skeleton santos is so cool, but too expensive IMO
Lol it’s not a watch. It’s for watch wannabes
@@peterk814It's literally the first real wristwatch ever created 🤡
Cartier is on GOD Tier of ALL other watches. I have a Tank XL and am looking at the Santos Lareg with a white dial - easier to read. First tine viewer - great vid. Tku.
Cartier have always positioned themselves well in the market. They offer elegant quartz watches for those who care more about the fashion side, and finer, more expensive, mechanical timepieces. I have never understood the logic of those who beg for the opportunity to buy a Rolex at inflated prices.
Same 😅
definitely overtaking Omega these days
Great Video I literally just got the Santos De Cartier Chronograph 18k gold 2 TONE W2SA0008 and I feel its the sexiest watch I've seen in a long time. And it was unavailable when I purchased I feel prices might rise due to demand. I had to do a unboxing video I was so Geeked I had to do it.
Congrats! The two tone one is also really beautiful! But I’m afraid that it‘s even more prone to scratches than other models, if you are fine with that it’s perfect!
@@davidzed7952 thanks bro that's why I went with the chronograph cause the 18k gold is brushed it has more of a textured bezel which helps hide scratches better than the large polished version.
Went in to buy an ADLC... walked out with a WSSA0047.
The 2022 blue versions are STUNNING in person.
Nice! Haven‘t seen the new one, but will definitely check it out when I get the chance to!
Doesn't PVD scratch easily?
And it ages awfully
@@nishantprakash5928 compared to bare stainless? Much tougher to scratch.
But sure, it can be damaged, as can DLC with enough effort. It's a Bezel, it can easily be replaced with 8 screws.
I can't say I am one that prefers to bash and patina my watches, so.....
@@ExotechEngineering oh. Good for you then.
Cheers
@@ExotechEngineering you got the black DLC? I'm still hesitant to get it because of the scratche issues, saw a silver one yesterday with bad scratches
Just go mine, in part thanks to this video. What sold me on it vs the gold bezel, is that while gold is more striking, the scratches would drive me nuts! As far as market value for this model, I think is a major unknown. Medium Santos in traditional design is a far safer bet...but I don't like it, looks like a ladies watch.
Let me give the bad points about this model just to balance the view as I own one and these point have bugged me over time. 1) The crown is not screw down. This is a no go for a 'sports' watch because there is no water resistance when you swim/heavy rain. 2) The bracelet over time will have gunk going into the links (it happens from sweat and skin), and this will clog up the quick link adjustment, risking it not popping out when you want it to. 3) The movement accuracy is slightly questionable, and a 42h power reserve is really short. This makes it feel like a fashion watch, and in my humble opinion i would pay $4000 because this watch looks great..... but above that I would consider the moonwatch/seamaster/oyster perpetural because they just are better.
I am going to buy the Santos in blue as an engagement watch because it is perfect in combination with the engagement ringt but I have to agree to your points mentioned. I recently bought a Breitling which has 500m water resistance, the famous B01 movement, it is a chrono (which always are more expensive), it is COSC certified, 70h power reserve for 5000€. On the other hand there is the Santos which got a price increase to 7600 so almost 8k for only 100m water resistance, 42h power reserve, no chrono, no COSC certificate, no screw down crown. I mean it is beautiful and all and I get it that you have to spend some extra bucks on the name but serious Cartier has to get their shit together this pricing is ridiculous.
@@jackdaniels8030 Actually I think the pricing is fine IF they can fix the simple problems here 1)Screw down crown 2)movement accuracy + power reserve. Afterall, pricing is very much dictated by brand rather than the actual workmanship. So fine, i'll pay you Cartier.. just fix the small bugs. haha
Water resistance is not dependent solely on a screw down crown - they have internal mechanisms which make give it this water resistance. Having this screw down would increase its performance but if you intend to shower or swim in a pool without going to depths it would be fine
Yeah, if you don't dive, there is no need for a screw down crown. 42 hr reserve is perfectly fine with thinner watches, and it's good enough for plenty of other fine watches. 1847MC is one of the best and thinnest movements in the game, just read about it. The complaint about the bracelet is...just have it cleaned by jewelry, like you do with any good bracelet.
Uhh don’t put it in water it’s not a sub mariner , it’s coool watch
I was getting the silver Large one for my wife… now this DLC version is out and it’s just pure class and sport! The fact that the DLC hardens the surface and that rubber bracelet integrates is so slick…. And then we have LUME!
You talk a lot of shit
This car is available in every mall
Great production value man. Excellent info, well presented.
Thanks for watching!
If I would just have 7k laying around i would actually consider getting one, but rather the new version with blue dlc bezel and white dial.
Love the Cartier Santos! I would give it as one of the top choices for people looking for their first top tier watch. Thanks for a great review. This would be the Cartier model I would choose as well love the wearing dimensions & comfort. Two aspect that I feel will start to dominate the market moving forward after the dinner plate style watch faze we went though. Back to classics!
I would say an alternative at this price point would be the Rolex Explorer. Old references can even be found cheaper at the moment. But the new 124270 would be ideal at near the same price from AD :)
I concur with the Explorer or an OP. It needs a screw-down crown for first time and 1 watch wearers. They should make the Santos with a screw-down crown.
Beautiful piece of machinery. Out of my league. I will settle happily for an homage.
I said the same thing once, the only thing buying replicas and homages did for me was looking at them, wishing I would've bought the real one. If you really want a Santos maybe you can look into the small one, they retail for around 4-5k, and they're mechanical. You can save half of that and maybe get a loan and pay it off later. Either way, these watches hardly lose value so you didn't waste your money. Don't say it's out of your league dude, you can acquire anything you set your mind
I love love LOVE my Santos. It's very classy and n my opinion is the epitome of understated elegance.
Thanks bro, great review! Lots of fantastic depth and information here.
Nice review! I'm a huge fan of their watches.
Thanks for watching!
Great watch. Great review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I decided to buy after watched your review. I got it today. It very nice watch
Nice! Enjoy your new timepiece!
I love the full black look
It's a great watch. I own the white dial version but would love to own the black ADLC version.
Did Alberto ask Cartier to add the Cabochon Stone to the Crown of the Santos or was Louis playing King XVIII at the time?
I like this watch. Cheers
Great review! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent and informative video, thank you Sir!
I'm torn between getting one in full 18K gold or getting a stainless steel two-tone version. One is about $14,000 and the other is about $2,400 but aside from that, I still can't make up my mind because I love full gold but already have a solid 18K piece in my collection; no two-tone, though.
I prefer full gold over twotone on the santos, but if you already own one in gold I would go for twotone
Full gold!
2400.00 ? How, Where ?
@@zsoltstemler9999 Excuse me, $4200
@J Roc
Where I live, twotone Santos 10k US. Full gold 35k US. Brand new at Cartier.
I have a Tank. The next watch i am looking looking at is a Santos for sure.
I will compare it to my Monaco for fun.
It's like listening to Glenn Sturgis (from Superstore) reviewing a watch.
Why o why do some people give off about hacking seconds, who needs this. Patek, Vacheron and FP Journey say its puts unnessasary stress on the movement, which might mean less time spent back in Switzerland getting fixed.
Thanks for picking up this WSSA0037. I own this model and I’m happy wearing this timepiece.
Hi. Have you noticed if the ADLC bezel picked up scratches in your daily wear so far? I know the white dial version with the high polish stainless steel bezel picks up scratches easily…
@@jonsmap So far I haven’t noticed any scratches yet on ADLC bezel after one year of owning. I have 2-3 noticiable scratches in a case side though.
@@toshizomac25 thanks for your feedback. This is very encouraging. I don’t plan to abuse the watch but love the idea that this watch can go from formal to outdoor, and everything in between.
How long does the lume last on this watch?
I just bought a gold /steel medium . love it
Black Datejust 41 or Black Santons ?
Not a fan of this version at all. I'm considering getting a santos. It will def be the large white dial stainless steel if i do choose it! Have always loved the shape of the santos and those roman numerals
FYI, it’s actually a silver dial. I thought it was white until I saw it in person.
I have this exact model. The white dial large, with date. It’s amazing. I can tell you the quality it’s right there with Rolex Omega (I own Rolex and Omega). You go for it.
@@trwilliams22 oh wow did not know that! I have yet to go to a Cartier boutique as I live in a city which doesn't have one. I currently own an omega speedmaster and honestly I'm getting bored of it (don't crucify me lol). Thinking of selling it and getting a santos
Oh this is good - thank you!
Nice detailed review.
I have one with a blue dial. I got 40% off too!
Oh wow congrats!
How did you happen to get such a large discount 0.0?? I am looking at getting the white dial medium santos for myself as a grad gift but didn’t know you could get discounts!
What is this specific reference
I wish they made these in a medium.
Yeah, they tend to designate the medium to women and leave out these cool designs
Nice watch, great review, Just got my blue dial, blue Pvd bezel Wssa0048, very nice elegant and sporty watch
Ohh nice! I really like that one! Congrats!
Great review, does this watch come with a half link so you can get a good fit or are the links small enough you can anyway? Always nervous buying a watch that doesn't have micro-adjustment on the bracelet
How do you feel about the santos medium paved with diamonds
I like it, but i prefer the larger size
Santos or navitimer???
Considering the Santos. Would you say the OEM rubber strap can still fit smaller wrists (eg. 6 inches)?
Size wise, if it's anything like the leather straps on other larger models it will fit and I can't imagine the two being all that different in length. In terms of looks, the non-white dials definitely work on 6 inch wrists as the darker shades really tone down how big it looks on a 6 inch wrist.
It can, but you gotta let them punch in more holes.
I need this!
It looks very nice on screen not having seen it in real life. The only disappointment is the crown has a synthetic jewel rather than a real one, which for that price it should be.
I don‘t think that they can offer a real one for that price…
@@davidzed7952 😂.
Only precious metal versions have a real sapphire (platinum comes with a ruby)
Wish there was a mid size version
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Drwatchstrap does quickswitch straps for these
Hard to get? I can easily get one for 20-30% less than retail
Never, ever set the date when the time is at 10:00!!!! The hour should be between 14:00 or 2:00 call it as u want and 19:00 or 07:00. If you don’t you risk of damaging the internal parts.
Yes you are right. But since I took the shots for my video I wanted to let it be at 10:10am. It just matters when it‘s between 21-03 o‘clock
um, that really only applies to the old valjoux 7750 base movement. that's not really a concern for most modern high-end watches.
I used to be a thin watch guy but lately I've been finding that certain watches need to wear a bit thicker, depending on its case design. If the case is broken up like the way Omega does it, then thicker might actually be better. But if its slab sided like Tudor, then thicker is not better.
Yes definitelyy! some watches have to be thicker! I just like the fact that this watch is so unusually thin, because the majority of watches that I see today are bit thicker
@@davidzed7952 Its a beautiful watch, especially the version you have on. I had no idea a black bezel version existed until now. The Santos is suddenly on my short list of watches to get next.
Love Cartier
What’s the source of your sales stats dude?
NahhhhN, i prefer omega all the way, but that Santos is gorgeous.
Good video
Before it’s too late? What is that supposed to mean? Price for this watch will only go down
Cartier should make the 'ML' version with 38.0 x 45.4 mm dimension to entertain the goldilocks 39-40mm round watch equivalent. Thanks for the vid, man.
Bravo👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
i have more square / rectangular watches then round. :P
I have never heard anyone say Cartier is a faahion watch...
Save my money before it is too late 😂😂😂
It’s pronounced “Spin L” black Spinel, not Spinal like your vertebrae
Ahh thanks! Had a typo in the script. I wrote spinal 😅
Nice video but really not feelin this version at all.
Thanks! Everyone has their own taste, with so much variation in the Santos Lineup you can find one that will suit your taste!
Cartier has been popular since the 80 s.......What are you talking about ?
Hard to be get at retail prices? You must be kidding..it’s so easy
What’s the rush? It’s just a watch. Relax bro.
in-house movement is debatable. It's a replica of a ETA 2893 with minor upgrades for anti magnetism.
It’s not really that hard to get at retail. But ok. Lol.
Goes slightly above retail now
@@nishantprakash5928 if you don’t look for it. Not hard to get. Especially on the grey market. Easy to get in store if you look around. It’s just a santos. It’s nothing special. Especially if it’s not gold.
Theyre getting harder and harder to get for retail brand new cant even find one in a Cartier store or other vendors who get brand new ones
personally i reckon the silver version looks way better. This black doesnt look classy enough
The silver one is a lot more elegant, but I tend to dress quite sporty that’s why I would go for this one
The movement is one of cartier's crappiest and no clear case back.
Go check it out on the old Tank MC which has a display back but worse water resistance at 30m. The movement really isn’t something to show off fairly basic looking. So to get to 100m they put on a metal caseback. I guess with Cartier you are paying for brand prestige and something a little different and artistic. The alternative is a movement powerhouse like Omega or best in class for mass production Rolex. Cartier is for guys who want something a little different in a bigger collection.
Definitely too big on your wrist
Ok jewelry junk watch
Subpar watch. Not worth the money 💰 you can walk into any Cartier store and buy one. There is no shortage
So a watch is only good if there is a shortage? Congratulations you have fallen for hype and marketing tricks.
Cartier is a jewellery brand. The end.
Poor you 😮💨
Cartier made watches when rolex wasn't even invented.
First watch maker to produce a commercially available men’s wrist watch. They invented the sports watch and the dress watch. The tank, santos and cintree models in their current line up have been there for over 100 years and thirty years before any current Rolex models and their high horological pieces are more advanced than anything AP or Patek do, but yeah, just a “jewellery brand”.
😂you made me laugh
Another 🤡 that knows absolutely nothing about watches
In house movement that is totally not reliable. Cartier should have kept on getting the top quality movements from Jaeger-LeCoultre.
