Nice watches. Wish I had an AD locally so I could try them on.

Definitely worth trying on if you were considering. I just went and tried it on as I am searching for a WSSA0037 and was considering some other watches as well. I just don't think you can beat the way this watch wears.

I tried it on and the quick change failed or the AD didn't secure it tightly and the watch fell off my wrist but luckily I caught it with my other hand. Hope the quick change is not prone to issues.

That's a dealer mistake, not an issue with the system. It actually snaps into place and locks there. He just didn't push the attachment far enough into the watch case to lock. I've used the system many times, and on more than one watch, and never had any issues.

Anyone else notice the price increase? 300-400 per model. Wonder if it’s because of the demand for these watches or Cartier is being greedy. I am caught between finding the medium probably 1mm too small and the large 1mm too big.

I think it depends on the model. I was looking at the one below and price stayed the same. Here are a few pictures(I’m picking up the large next month) ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They kept their prices quite stable for the last few years, while other companies including Rolex and AP had price increases a while ago. In addition, several of their products are in high demand. Wishing you luck deciding which Santos to get. I could have worn either size, but found the medium a little too small. So I went with the large and I'm very happy with it. |

Maybe in Canada the price stayed the same. However, in the US the large Santos went up in price $350.00. I'm not sure if Canada will have a price increase, but I heard some countries will experience price increases by July 15th.

Ya I’ll have to circle back to my SA this week to see if that’s the case. The one I have pictured is $9,300CAD and comes with the additional strap(on bracelet plus tan leather). Fingers crossed it doesn’t jump in Canada

A lot of the Richemont brands had price increases in the past 12 months but it's still nowhere near as bad as AP that had multiple price increases in the past 2 years.

It may sound trivial but I no longer see the medium santos as worth the price at 6800. If you add tax, you’re up to around 7,500 and while the 8 year warranty is nice, you can get a Rolex for that price in better proportions. Bonus value for used. The santos is an icon, albeit an imperfect one because while the no date option on the medium size is preferable, it is also too small for a lot of people at 35mm. The dimensions of the larger model don’t work for everyone either, and the date is a turn off for some.

In addition, the size issue might be an issue for you, but for many people it isn't an issue. I know 4 guys that purchased the Large Santos within the last 6 weeks, and demand for the large models with dark dials seems quite strong. While I could do without the date, I've gotten used to it. Oddly it might have bothered me more on the white dial, but on the dark dial versions I feel like it blends in more and it's less of an issue, at least for me, ymmv. |

Don't get me wrong, I loved owning/wearing my OP39 in white, but it wasn't exactly the most dynamic watch design. It certainly be nicer if the medium Santos was a bit closer in price, but I don't think a +~$1k price difference is going to keep somebody from buying a Santos over an OP if they like it better. Plus as Dino notes, you can actually get one without being somebody special. I do think the size gap between the Medium and the Large is a bit too much. I was worried about the Large being too big on me originally and lamenting that the dark dial options weren't present on the Medium, but after trying both sizes on, it was clear the Medium was more "too small" for me than the Large was "too big" for me. While I think a Santos that was somewhere in between the Medium and Large in size would work for a lot of people, I do think it's important to remember that not every watch can be everything to all people and sometimes choices just have to get made. That's not a good thing or a bad thing, it just is what it is sometimes. |

To Sportfan0704, if a modest increase would make a watch no longer a good value to you, then it probably was never the right watch for you. I never buy a watch because it is a or not a good value, I buy it because I really love it, but ymmv. |

I’m guessing maybe they’re temporarily sold out or it’s likely a mistake.
