No, paid straight MSRP at the Cartier Boutique. I also talked with reps at Razny and Marshall Pierce, neither of which had the Santos medium in stock, and neither were able to offer a discount of any kind. I told them I’d wait for them to get it in stock rather than pick it up immediately at the Cartier boutique, but they had to offer some incentive for my time. Neither offered anything, and one even told me - in a completely friendly way - to just go get it at the Cartier boutique. I hear you on not wanting to pay MSRP for the Cartier, but to be honest, the watch is so great and the extras from the boutique so compelling (eg. extra strap) that I don’t mind.

It’s a beautiful watch, for sure. And some day I may well add something from Cartier (that’s not quartz…), but it would more likely be something from the Must line (Ronde 36 auto with a bright colored strap comes to mind). At the $6k mark there are still orders I’d rather have.

I’m not a full-PM guy, but that was a beautiful watch. If someone forced me to wear a gold bracelet watch, it would be that. Was actually surprised, as I think it’s the exact one I saw there in June when walking through. Would have expected it to be long gone.

Cheers and thank you for the comparison with the 36mm DJ. I was wondering how the bracelet/lug differences would look side by side. So hard these days to compare as many AD's do not have the models side by side.

Congrats on your collection - that is one terrific three watch combo, all of the watches complement each other. And that Patek! My goodness, what a stunner - it must be a delight to look down at it and see that dial looking up. Enjoy your fantastic collection in good health! |

Yes, definitely time to rest and enjoy these watches, and focus on other things.
For what it’s worth, one thing I learned this summer is that I love the Rolex brand. I consider steel Rolex at MSRP to be solid value for money - solid design, good engineering, no fuss performance and reliability. No wonder the demand is high! In fact, if I had to choose only one watch to keep, it would be be the 36mm silver Datejust. It may not be the most exciting watch in my collection, but it’s the one I reach for the most consistently. Thanks, everyone, for the kind words and advice. Good luck with your own searches, and enjoy what you have in good spirits and health! |

Final Incoming (36mm Steel Explorer) - Summer Rolex Sprint Complete
So just when I think I had settled on my summer built collection, I realized that I like dress watches and actually wanted to have fewer watches. So with a few changes, this is where I ended up at the end of 2021. Happy new year, everyone - wishing everyone an amazing 2022!
