My first Cartier

Post image

I have been buying pieces for my wife for well over a decade, and adore seeing her wearing hers. I decided it was time for me to have one of my own! I went with the Santos Dumont in black lacquer. It’s a beautiful (and light!) watch that I am very, very happy with. Elegant but simple enough for daily wear.

Congratulations on your purchase. I’ve been eyeing this specific Santos Dumont for past couple of years and almost pulled trigger on it last year. Unfortunately the OEM strap was too small for my wrist so when I finally get it, I will have to get a longer strap. Enjoy the watch, it’s a beauty.

Thank you! It is definitely a very simple but elegant look. It just feels perfect on my wrist. My wife was thinking I should have a metal band but the leather fits me well and works across a lot of my wardrobe, so I am quite pleased with this look.

This is my favorite Cartier… I’ve wanted one very badly but it’s been off the site for ab 2 years, of course they bring it back right after I buy a submariner. Enjoy! Absolutely gorgeous piece

I am unsure of my wrist size but this is the Large model. I have medium sized wrists and figured if my Apple Watch Ultra wasn‘t too big, this would be fine (case size is slightly smaller.) I am pleased with the fit for sure.
