It’s a great watch and selling for $1,000 more than MSRP on the grey market right now. I can buy at MSRP...

Prefer the white face version but the Santos is THE ORIGINAL pilot watch. Very CR.

Unless you are a woman, I would not buy this watch. Even then, Cartier watches are terrible at holding value.

Why not do both? I want to be able to sell a watch if I get sick of it and buy another one I like.

I don't ever plan to sell any watch I own. They all have some sort of sentimental value.

Just a matter of preference then. Most people also don't have the kind of money you and I do. So resale value is more of a concern.

No “watch dude” buys a Cartier.

If you want one for your wife, that’s fine. Otherwise, no, dude.

TITNTCR, the Santos has great history, an in-house movement and an innovative bracelet.

This is an excellent watch to buy if you like thick, veiny cocks in your butt.

If not, buy a Rolex, Patek, Lange & Sohne, Vacheron, etc. like a fucking normal person who actually knows about watches.

Those watches are not even close to the same price range. That Santos lists for 7 something and can probably be had for 5 and change. You can’t even get a shitty Oyster Perpetual for that let alone a Patek LJL

Kinda dumb to buy a $7,500 watch these days too. The only watches I’d buy in that price range would be an IWC or maybe a Panerai or Zenith, and I would just hope for them to maintain their prices. I don’t buy watches for less than $10K these days because there are few that are worth owning. A decent Panerai and a Submariner used to cost about the same, but Rolex appreciation has left other brands in the dust. I have a submariner that is up 100% from MSRP (which I was able to get it at) in the past year.

Have an IWC and a Panerai, buying a Zenith next. Will likely cop a Santos at some point for the aviation lineage. I don’t buy based on resale and find Prolex to largely be boring, overpriced watches. I’d like a GMT again for the aviation link though. It’s hard to track down a steel Overseas these days. I’m looking to cop one of those then a 5396R and mostly be done copping new watches

I used to be a Rolex hater too but they keep much better time than Valjoux/ETA movements and don’t get magnetized as easily. Adding a stainless Daytona that a relative was able to get at list price soon. YNY

Not a PROLEX hater per se, I have a Rolex and will add more they are just overrated and overpriced. There are other movements aside from a generic ETA or a Rolex. Nothing keeps time like DAT GRAND SEIKO SPRINGDRIVE.

Daytona's don't do it for me. I'd love a GMT Master II at MSRP, but I think i'd pass on a Daytona. I probably have enough chronographs, but my next chrono will be a Zenith.

I've always liked the look of the Moonwatch and Navitimer gold/stainless in this price range. I don't care about them retaining any value, just cool looking watches.

I have the old original two tone Santos in 28mm. Its the most credited Santos. The new ones are too big.

Depends if you have TWINK wrists. I have tried the new M and L Santos and the M was too small, looked tiny.
