Whats a nice mens watch with a square face, black leather strap suitable for office wear?

[Chiquita Fanjita 1,782]

Looks like its going to be the Cartier Santos 100

 

has anyone seen/got a quartz one of these? good quality rep still?

 

Mine below, although a Chrono, is a quartz. It originally came from Robert and is 41mm and uses the same casing as the A7753 version so is high quality. Being a quartz movement the chrono is fully functioning too. It also has a great black leather strap with deployant and solid engraved caseback. Well worth the money if you don't want to spend too much

that looks great, where did you buy from?

i want this but not the chrono model

You have to get the cheaper version of the Cartier. I'd look at Narikaa, he has a lot of nice 21J & quartz reps.

 

How about a Franck Muller?

It originally came from the late, great Robert (Prestige Watch Co) http://www.rwgboard.com/board/index.php?showforum=73. Mary & Rochest at Watch International might be able to source you a quartz non-chrono Santos

ok,

 

what is the difference between santos 100 and 100 xl?

[ShiroTenshi 0]

Not a rep.. but this is my first auto watch, a Kenneth Cole, comes with a leather version too

 

 

Either this or a 21J Cartier Santos

It can be confusing. Generally, it looks like this:

 

Santos Mid = 33mm x 33mm

Santos Regular = 38.5 x 38.5

Santos XXL = 41.5 x 41.5

ok thanks,

as i have a thin narrow wrist i will go for the mid or regular

but i dont want the face too small that it looks like a womens watch

 

i will measure my current square face watch to see the difference, but how should i measure the face?

diagonally?

i am currenty wearing this tag carrera:

 

 

it is 41m , and as i have thin narrow wristws, this is the maximum size i could take without it looking too big

 

 

i have read comments on the cartier santos 100 being too big for peoples wrist but the face is 38.5

 

 

does the fact the carrera is round and the santos is square make a difference in therms of its size when comparing the dimensions?

even if the square is bigger mm for mm, surely he 2.5mm difference would balance it out?

i would play it safe with the 38.5mm, espically as it is a square faced watch

Mate, this thread is nearly 3 years old. Find something a bit more recent.
