My favorite purchase of the last few years (vintage)

Once I saw videos of the Santos Carree from the 80’s I knew I had to have it. I did my due diligence and sourced one in almost mint condition.

When I received it I was a hit surprised just how small it is but also fell in love with it. Truly one if the best watches ever made. The real gen with this is brushed and unpolished condition.

I wish Cartier would bring back the Carree as imo it is their best iteration of tge legendary Santos

I have a guy who does a monthly drop (located in Germany) and usually has near mint or mint condition Carree's.

Now I just need an all gold one but the price has doubled smh due to the current vintage hype

My guy (hes in Germany) does a drop every month (werner watches on IG)
usually of two tone Carree’s. Gold in good condition is super rare and hard to find. Bachs watches has one now but overpriced it at $20k usd
