Title: Cartier Santos 100
Post by: RaymondT on November 14, 2012, 01:00:51 PM

hi Sifu sifu sekalian

Can i humbly ask anyone with a cartier santos 100 (leather strap) to post some wrist shot of the watch & perhaps gives a brief review of it? :Praying: :Praying:

Saw someone wearing it over lunch earlier & it really caught my eyes , the strap especially is so unique & the dial is really classic. I never really look at this brand until today. Tried searching here but not many being put on sale , wonder how much can a preowed one is selling?

This watch was crafted in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Santos de Cartier watch.

This model is Santos 100 XL.  It also available in Mid-size and Chonograph.

I owned this watch since 2006 and has not been servicing.  Thus there are some dirt as it was my everyday watch (used to be my favorite).  I would also call it 25 Meter watch as it is so prominent that you can tell it is a Santos 100XL from a distance.

Hope you will get one to enjoy it.

Watchkah: such a beauty  :o , the one I saw this afternoon was similar to yours , the case is SS and black rubber/plastic serounding the dial . How much was the retail for this beauty?

What is your wrist size and what is the diameter of the watch ? was expecting it to be bigger ..

the case diameter is 38mm.  but it measure up should be 41x41mm.  My wrist size is around 7-7.5 inch.

The one you saw with black rubber should be a mid size watch which is slightly smaller than XL version.

I think santos is one of the most handsome dresswatch crafted. Voted as a top ten by many men's magazines. Particularly the one in half gold & brown strap.

Of course, Cartier is one of the ten top luxury houses.

I have tried(dont own one) and it fits nicely on asian wrists.

This is a mid size Santos 100.  Rubber strap on Rubber Bezel, is a smaller version.  It also come in White color.
