Hello all, I have been toying with the idea

May 09, 2024,18:06 PM
 

of getting a steel Cartier Santos. I think I would opt for the medium size without the date. Do you think it's such a common watch that it get old quickly? I've seen many on the forum that people really love and they look great. I am especially interested in being able to change the straps with the quick change but I do not know where to get them that fit that system.

Any advice or help would be most appreciated. I respect very much the opinions of the people on this forum.

Many thanks, Eddy

The Santos is a easy watch to thoroughly enjoy. Plenty of high quality straps available from Cartier.

I absolutely love it, even though I think that the bracelet is so good that I would never swap it out for a strap. If you want to experiment though you can either buy OEM cartier straps or delugs straps made for it

I think you’ll like it.
