After I wear this smoky green for a week, I really love it. I think it looks better and classier than the bright green. It will shows more green when pair it with green strap.

I have one picture when pair with green strap, sorry for the dirty watch (a lot of finger print).

Congratulations. Got to see this beauty at the Cartier boutique this past weekend. I was originally leaning towards the two tone large Santos. Now I think this will be the Cartier that I will add to my collection.

Thanks! I originally wanted to just add a couple links to it. I went to numerous Cartier stores trying to find them. This was before I joined TRF. I sweet-talked Cartier Beverly Hills into giving me one with my sob story about it being my father’s watch. I installed it and it was still too tight. Cartier BH didn’t have a second one, and warned me that it would be very difficult to find another one. For the next several years, I would pop into Cartier stores around the world trying to find a link. It got to a point where I asked one location (I think it was Cannes, but can’t remember) for it, and they told me to give me a day they would ask corporate. Corporate apparently told them to tell me that they don’t have any for sale, and they are aware of my efforts to try to obtain one by visiting shops around the globe. Lol. Fast forward to me establishing a relationship with a Rolex AD who sold Cartier. I decided to have the watch restored. They sent it to Geneva, and I got the first estimate, which mentioned servicing as the only requirement, with lots of optional stuff like refinishing dial, new bezel, new bracelet and new crystal. There was a note that they were offering me a substantial discount on a new bracelet, as my rep had told them that I was the guy going around the world asking for links lol. (With this “geste commercial” the bracelet was around $1,400.) I approved all the work except for the new bezel, as the bezel alone was around $1,900. I got the watch back and it looked spectacular, except for this scratched, janky and polished-down bezel. I looked at my SA (who was the manager as well) and she just shook her head at me, knowing that I was about to send it back to have the bezel changed. I’m glad I did, even if Cartier corp wants to smother me in my sleep. All in, it was around $3,800 Sorry for making y’all read this novel! Here’s a pic of mine with my mom’s. Hers is also automatic, purchased at the Cartier store in the lobby of the Intercontinental in Paris in the early 80’s. Funny enough, both of my uncles on different sides of the family also wore Santos, but the square one. My brother inherited one of them, but he is not into watches. I’m going to work on that one next. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Smart move. I’m now debating that exact piece and a 36mm Royal Oak.

Anyone know why the middle Eastern santos green dial with arabic numerals is fetching for double what the US version is going for?

Put the new green santos on the cartier black rubber strap, absolutely love it and incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make their Santos a bit sportier.
