mike00 6 Posted March 31, 2019 Hi there peeps! Rolex is the KING for me but WOW... the santos 100 is a must have for every watch collector IMO. The Vintage look is just awesome. Saw on Andrew (trustytime) his site GF launched the 2018 modell recently, I ordered it immediately. The watch arrived within 4 days as usual. Packaged very well and it also came with some goodies. A nice leather strap and a great Cartier branded travel bag. Both great quality. I ordered the XL version and it seemed the right choice. it wears like a classic seadweller regarding size for thos who are curious. What i do like besides the awesome retro look is for example the quick end links change system, it works flawless and saves allot of hassle regarding sizing the bracelet or if you want to swap the SS bracelet with the leather one. Within a view seconds the job's done... easy as that (“QuickSwitch” as Cartier calls it). The overall finishing is mind blowing, the polished parts have a great finish. They put allot of effort in the details, it just looks and feels so GEN. The movement runs perfect and smooth. I serious have no complaints at all about this piece.

goodjack 8 Posted April 5, 2019 Great pics and a review that reads like it was written by the PR dept of the GF Factory! On another forum a pic was posted showing this GF version with a thickness of 11mm and not the 9mm as advertised. What's the thickness of your watch? Thanks and a really stunning display of this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,806 Posted April 5, 2019 Can you please turn that shirt down..... What a peach of a watch. Cartier an under-rated brand as far as repping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seembaheemba 0 Posted April 13, 2019 The biggest tell I see so far is the serial number engraving. I’ll likely pick one up anyway. Love the photos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goodjack 8 Posted April 27, 2019 Mike those are great pics but you've mislabeled the topic. You've got the 2018 Santos De Cartier large model. Not the Santos 100 XL. I just got the GF version of the medium model from Andrew. A real stunner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
