Cartier Santos 100 Limited Grey Edition

Picked up the Cartier Santos 100 Limited Grey Edition

Decided to hold out on the AP. I have wanted a Santos for quite some time and was on and off about which colors to go for. It is also much cheaper and a more practical daily watch for myself. Love the silver roman numerals over the black face makes them really stand out. The strap is actually a grey green mix, I dont know what to call it but a few of the photos capture it correctly. I also like the double sided clasp, its very masculine. Although adjusting the band is simple, it tends to want to slide back to the size its been at, assuming cause its creased there.

Also selling my Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control Boutique Edition #47 of 150 up for sale if anyone is interested. In the for sale section

Nice. Not a watch you're gonna see about very often.


Certainly unique.

Conratz. Nice watch. The strap color looks like olive green. It matches the silver perfectly.

That band gives the watch a very nice vintage look. Congratulations!

It doesn't look like a very big watch neither (looks great on your wrist tho), can I ask you how big it is?

It is thicker and bigger than my daytona. It is very comfortable to wear, is slightly curved on the wrist side.

Im pretty sure its the Large version which is this size:

Case Dimensions: 51mm x 41mm Warranty:
Case Thickness: 10.3mm


The regular santos 100 size is:

Case Dimensions: 44mm x 35.6mm
Case Thickness: 10.7mm
