Talk me out of a medium santos
About to pull the trigger on one. Would be mostly for my wife but I am lying if I say I wouldn’t also be wearing it regularly lol.
Anyone here have one and regret it? |

I have one and no regrets. Very comfortable on wrist and the quick change strap is great. Have mine on a blue alligator strap now. I say go for it.

Design wise its one of the best ever. The screws on the bezel and down the integrated bracelet give it a timeless, identifiable look. You also get a 2nd bracelet for a quick change so its like having 2 watches in one. Ive seen the blue and green dials and highly recommend the blue as green really needs direct light to be seen. Otherwise looks ashy and blackish. The medium Santos is classic, elegant, sleek, sporty and an incredibly underrated watch. Do it! The dial and font is pure classy and timeless as well. What else can you want in a watch? Unfortunately I do not yet have a 35mm and the only reason is I have 3 vintage ones and at the end of the day the designs are too similar… aside from the size this photo will show you just how much I love the Santos |

As long as you don't mind the scratches.

I wish there was a size between the M and the L. The M is too small and the L is too big, for me.

I'm trying to decide between the medium Santos and the Dumont Large right now. Decisions, decisions!

wish I could dissuade you, but agree with everyone here — it’s nearly perfect. quick swap on the bracelet / strap is killer, and the tool-less link adjustment makes it easy to share the bracelet with your wife too. can’t wait to see the pics of your new watch .

I’m looking at a large blue dial myself. I’d only there was a size between M and L

![]() I don’t own the medium, but I tried it on and loved the size and proportions.

Great watch with a great history/story. The medium wears perfect for this vintage inspired timepiece. You can get film for the bezel if worried about scratches.

Last season I spotted a Santos Medium on F1 star Pierre Gasly's wrist. Two-tone, nonetheless! It looked great
