How does Cartier Santos stack up against Rolex?

Closest competition made.
Great daily wear with great water resistance.

And it’s thinner, which is most always welcome.
Prefer the medium size without the date.

Santos is great and has a lot of things going for it, but the bracelet feel is not as good as Rolex. For a thinner bracelet it also compares poorly to something like a Nautilus.

With that said, if you like how they look then they’re great. I like mine.

Santos is an incredible, beautiful timepiece and the bracelet is an amazing piece of engineering. My wife and I share a WWSA0037 and we both love it. With its easy change straps and bracelet that can be resized in seconds, the Santos offers a million times more flexibility than any Rolex. I prefer the Cartier over all Rolex dress options. As for a daily watch, I believe the Rolex has a more robust design and movement, which better suits my life on most days.
