I love to see the seconds hand, and GS dial is simply making me smile every time i look at it.
No doubt Santos is the ever green model.

My vote still for GS. hehe

Your post inspired me to step into a Cartier boutique just the other day and tried out the new Santos myself...



I found the bracelet version of it and I must say the construction is pretty solid and tight. You can expect some of the best case making quality from a marque like Cartier.

I'd vote for the Cartier...

Between the two, I would choose Cartier any time. But thats just me.

Unwrap the GS and the u'll hav a winner in every other horological aspects; case, movement/accuracy, bracelets confort, crown details and of course polish/shine. Cartier will only wins on the public/brand recognition part. But its juz my opinion...

Btw, i own a GS snowflake and coincidentally looking for a Cartier Santos. Hmmmm, maybe its a sign i should pull the trigger..  :Dancing_banana:

a very rare case that the buyer is undecided between cartier and gs. normally a collector who like gs wont have a love for a santos....
Thought santos is the most collectible watch in the cartier collection.. & even with all its history, it's not at least at par with GS?

I prefer a GS with white or beige dial +- a blue GMT hand. SBGJ001, SBGJ011, SBGH001, SBGM007 or SBGM021 are all very nice.

I heard so much about GS but when I took a close look at it, it just didn't sing to me at all. To me GS simply looks ugly (just me ok) though the movement and finishes might be excellent.

CARTIER to me any time.

I have much love for the Cartier but don't really like the santos. At this moment prefer the GS. However if it's your first dress watch, and if it's to impress then Cartier for sure.
