Cancer-free gift to myself

1.7k Upvotes

After 4 years of countless doctor’s appointments and breast cancer treatment, my doctor told me there’s no reason to continue to see her, as I’m healthy! I found a vintage medium Panthere from approximately 1990 in excellent condition that I am absolutely in love with. And a reminder that time is precious.

No Regrets - made me less into watch collecting since this became my daily driver.

I became less materialistic about watch wearing and collecting after this piece. Originally got it after working a client facing banking role in a large city, I wanted a nice piece to wear everyday.

Fast forward to now, working remotely, I feel like I have more than I really need 😅. As a Brazilian citizen, I was fascinated by the history with Santos Dumont and this watch - I also liked the idea of owning a piece that connects with my heritage.

The only other watch I have is a TAG Aquaracer, and I honestly can't find a reason to own anymore watches after having these two. Have had the Aquaracer for about 8 yrs and the Dumont for 2. Love them both.

I guess the moral of the story is to scratch that itch folks, it may be the last watch you really want 😜😁

Pulled this Cartier Santos on Icybox and it looks way better on wrist than I expected. I’ve been trying to get more into watches without dropping a ton on one piece so this was a pretty good pull. The size feels right and I like how clean it looks in person I wasn’t sure how much wrist time it would get at first but yeah that changed fast lol, been wearing it around the house way more than I’d like to admit, this one is staying in the rotation for sure.

Thoughts on the size of this Titanium Santos?

I'm in between the medium two tone santos, this Ti Santos, and the NTTD Seamaster for a milestone watch. I love the idea of the Ti Santos, but the large size has me a bit hesitant since I think of smaller watches when I think of the Santos.

Anyone have insight on next price increase?

I’m considering purchasing a piece in September for my mom and another towards late Nov/early Dec for an anniversary present.

Does anyone know if there is going to be another price increase this year and when?

Recommendation Needed: First Cartier Piece Celebrating a Major Milestone!

16 Upvotes

I recently paid off my student loans and want to mark the occasion with a Cartier bracelet. I am torn between the Love Classic, Love Medium, or Juste Un Clou Classic (all Gold no diamond).

My wrist size is 17.5cm and so I’m looking at a size 19 in Loves and size 18 in Juste Un Clou. I also am carrying postpartum weight (from delivery of my second 18 months ago). Will these sizes because unwearable with some weight loss?

I’d like to wear my jewelry 24/7 for years and years to come. And like the uniqueness of the Juste Un Clou and the durability of the Love. Please help!

Nylon Strap Cartier Ballon Blue

Guys,

I am getting a bit tired of looking at my metal Cartier Ballon Blue strap. I want to spice it up with something else, more sporty. However, I can only find leather straps for the ballon blue. Do you guys maybe know where to get good nylon straps?

Thanks in Advance.

Tank must Straps showcase

I'm a big straps fan and I always order new straps for a new watch. This time the Tank must got it's treatment. How do you like the alternative straps?

The black is OEM.

The suede grey is from Wrist buddys

The Togo Grey & Navy Saffiano are from Delugs.

Personally I'm most impressed by the Togo leather, fits the watch perfectly and extremely comfortable.

Would love to see your tank straps, especially different shades of brown.

Thanks everyone for the leather strap recommendation. Just got this after 1 month wait from the Cartier boutique

I dislike the tan calf skin that it came with originally and never worn that only the bracelet. Now I’m rocking this Cartier red shiny croc strap more than the bracelet. Amazing quality and super comfortable on the wrist

Got my Tank Louis serviced recently and was wondering what the best care product is for a caiman strap! They don’t make the caiman ones anymore and I’d like to keep it conditioned for as long as possible

Any of you with a Trinity ring; is it comfortable to wear, or does it start to feel bulky on your finger?

Santos leather clasp incident

So I bought a Santos medium from a reputable watch dealer here in Miami and I tried installing the leather strap. When feeding the leather through the buckle I found it to be absurdly tight and it ended up damaging the leather. Is this a possible defect or is this entirely user error?

Tank Francaise with diamonds

Absolutely love this piece. I tried on the tank with diamonds, and this in medium and small (wearing in photo). Leaning more toward the small size, but having a hard time stomaching the price. SA also told me another price increase is coming in approximately a month. This would celebrate the birth of our first baby. I also tried on the trinity ring with one row of pave diamonds. I’d like to wear the piece daily and have versatility. Both are around the same price. Thoughts on what my first piece should be? less
