Santos is really not my cup of tea (which makes me a little biased); Hence a vote for the 58

Loving all these Santos pics!

The DT size is almost certainly a non-starter for me.

I have a mid size Santos with diamond bezel. My husband has the large santos and Tudor 41 monochrome on oyster. They are such different watches, it’s hard to compare. But Cartier is Cartier. Its a much nicer watch imo. Amazing Cartier service. But if only owning one watch with the Tudor you get the timing bezel, better water rating with the screw down crown and lume. Our white dial Santos’ do not have lume.

The Santos with scratched up bezel without a care in the world. Elegance meets sporty nature is something to behold

I adore my Santos It's incredibly comfortable and has a more distinctive appearance compared to the Tudor.

Tudor for me. Cartier reminds me of Guicci

Santos without hesitation. It's a classic and it's very versatile. It's not a derivative of something else, or trying to be something it is not. In full disclosure I own one, along with several Rolex watches. To me, a Tudor nice, but nothing special. I look at most and think, "Yeah, but it's not a Rolex."

Kinda wonder what the grey would look like with a polished bezel.

I wore my blue for 3 weeks and never got a scuff. Not the scratch magnet I was afraid it’d be. Wonder if wifey will have the same experience.

Both versions are great watches. I wanted something that could be dressed up or dressed down at bit, so for me the all steel fit the bill. I love the rubber strap from the ADLC model and the PVD model, and purchased the rubber strap used for those and it changes the appearance and makes it a great option for summer.

I was between a Santos or a Tudor BB54 for my wife and went with the Tudor because the Santos doesn't seem to wear scratches as well as the Tudor does. I also have a lot of other Cartier watches already so Tudor was a bit more exciting.
