Unboxing My Dream Cartier: Why I Fell In Love With The Santos - The Best Value Luxury Watch In 2022?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Today I unbox my dream Cartier-a watch I recently scored for an absolute bargain-and take a look at the brand's fascinating cultural impact, history, industry achievements, and how they created the world's first truly iconic luxury watch over 100 years ago.
With luxury watches from brands like Rolex, Patek, Audemars Piguet, and other brands becoming so expensive and overhyped with queues just to buy them, and some even in short supply, there are better options out there. In this video I share 6 reasons why the Cartier Santos holds its own against other in-demand watches, along with the best places to buy, and sweet spots in the used market. Is this the best value luxury watch in 2022?

Oh, wonderful, now Santos will be on everyone's radar, so we can forget about discounts! Thanks, TGV 😡😅
It’s been on every watch blog in the past year. It’s already on everyone’s radar.
I had no idea, I only follow a select few channels I trust and most of them are in Italian. But glad to hear the Santos is finally getting the love it deserves!
There is surprisingly little about the older ones.
@@theurbangentrywhich Italian blogs do you recommend?
TGV...this is what I've been missing. You need to get back to these historical reviews of the various brands legacy. You do it supremely well. BBC Earth level of entertainment but in horology.
I agree 100% Love the history lessons.
I’m noticing a lot of collectors getting into brands like Cartier. To me it shows that collectors have had enough of Rolex and are looking elsewhere for their luxury purchases, after all watch collecting is not all about Rolex hype.
I think they are one of the few swiss brands that actually is finished to a luxury standard
@@oscarosullivan4513 this is such a random statement though, aside from panerai, which Swiss brand isn’t finished to the same degree? They all are. The people who takes any chance to make the same old complaint about Rolex availability are beating a dead horse. If you want one then get on the list and wait, if you don’t then don’t bother. It’s that simple. You never waste money on getting a substitute, because you will never get what you wanted at the start. The watch market is in a bubble right now and I think everyone will soon realize why Rolex had such a good value retention history while other brands don’t.
A lot? Who? Where?
Rolex still holds a significant place in the world of watches. But Rolex is no longer "the" watch brand. Who wants to be on a waiting list for 2+ years for a Rolex, when you can go and buy a watch from brands such as Cartier or Omega, and not have to be on a waiting list for them.
Perhaps some folks are put off due to low Rolex model availability. However, people will jump at the opportunity to buy one, given the chance. I own more than one rolex and are staples in my watch collection. People, dislike the difficulty acquiring Rolexes more popular models. Yet, once they posses one they appreciate why they are so very sought after.
The Cartier Santos large, especially with the classic white dial is an amazing and versatile watch! With the black alligator strap I've rocked both suits and tuxes with no problem. On the steel braclet, it is casual yet classy, wearing a lien shirt and slacks.
It truly a niche watch who's versatility is truly hard to match at any price point.
Congrats, TGV! I wanted to share with you that I purchased my dream watch-the Tudor BB58 blue-for my high school graduation. After seeing your review of it, and watching your videos for a few years now, I saved for two years and bought it on bracelet a couple weeks ago. Now I’m wearing it on the original NDC strap. I hope I can share some photos of it with you, as seeing your videos definitely inspired me to start collecting. Cheers, take care!
Wow a bb58 at what, 18? Congrats man enjoy it
Congrats on your graduation and congrats on your watch !! Starting off strong 💪 I didn’t have a watch like that when I was your age. Wear it proud
@@WatchUnwind thanks so much! I will!🙂👍
Congrats man! Hell of a watch
I got myself the black BB58 as a reward for my first decent job out of college. Congrats. It’s a killer piece.
It's a smart move going for the quartz version,stunning! Looks brilliant on your wrist.
Thank you, I was expecting a ton of hate about it being quartz I, still am, but if TH-cam has taught me anything is I don't care what anyone says 😂😂 I am wearing it now and I have to to say, I have never worn a comfyier watch.
Best regards,
TGV
I was thinking, being unable to see the automatic/mechanical movement of a watch which has a solid case back, it really doesn't make a big difference as to whether it's a quartz or mechanical movement (other than occasionally having to replace a battery, at which time only a jeweler sees it - or you see it if you replace your own batteries).
I'm just starting to appreciate Quartz movements..had a bit of a Wall built up..always thought of £2.50p market watches.. It's not like that anymore!
Santos has to be in two tone. That’s why I went as well for one. Child of the 80s, loved Wall Street and just am a fan of watches with a rich history. Congrats to the new watch in the collection, cheers 👍🏻
Gordons was solid gold. they're all stunning
Such a grand looking piece!
Nice summary of its impressive history, and looking forward to the full review, it looks beaut on your wrist, well done TGV👍
The quartz was an issue for me for a long time but now as the owner of a tank solo large quartz it’s not even something I think about without the second hand. The design is what I like and if the price is right being quartz isn’t an issue. It’s also worth noting Cartier quartz movements are actually well finished.
And very accurate
The Quartz movement is in house by Cartier
Congrats TGV on picking up this beautiful vintage Santos! Looks like its in amazing shape!
I have a modern medium Santos and I love it! If you'd ever like to borrow it for a comparison video or whatever, I'd be willing to loan it to you! I'm local in NE Philly so just let me know! All the best!
Unboxing. My. Dream carrier. Why. l. Fell. In love. With. Santos. The bast. Value Luxury. Watch in. 2022 okay 👍
Congratulations, TGV!!!! The Santos is the next watch I'm adding to my collection when able. It has so much style and presence without being vulgar. Quartz is a good choice as well!
Sempre molto belli i tuoi video! E cosa dire dei Cartier? Eleganza e Storia , Intramontabile!
Saluti dall’Italia
I had an opportunity to choose any watch I want for under $10k as a company gift. I had no other watch in mind other than the Santos in steel in the medium spec! Although I left $3200 on the table, I couldn't care less. Thank you for this review! It's convinced me even further I had made the right choice
Very pretty watch. I just wish they made a solar quartz version of it.
Quartz in a Cartier doesn't bother me at all. For this brand in particular, you are really paying for their design over any technical achievement.
Blu rays are so much nicer looking and sounding compared to dvds, UHD's are even better when they don't have errors, sorry couldn't keep it in any longer.
Missing the answer to the all-important question: Does it fit inside the Carl Friedrik pouch??
Honestly, quartz is great for a moon phase. Nice to be able to take it off the wrist for a while without having to set that. Looks great!
The best part of your videos is the fact that you explain the history behind these watches. This has actually made me more interested in watch history. I just bought the $36 "Mission impossible" Casio based on your video on it, and I love it. These stories of these watches are fascinating, it sets your channel apart for sure. Thank you, Tristano.
Aaaaahh I can fully relate to your excitement! I am finishing my bachelor degrees and saved up for the watch of my dreams. A 2319 santos with the guilloche dial and the silver indices. Although I didn’t quite find the price I am looking for, I am full of happiness when I look at the photographs of this beautiful piece.
Have a nice day and keep up with your aspiring videos !

Back in the 80s everybody had a Tank or Santos homage on the wrist, amazing that 40 years later I still have the crush for this watch, definitely reminds me of Wall Street, Disco Circle lights, Yuppy time, Gucci, etc etc
Thank you Alfonso, very true indeed. Even if I was just a child at the time, that aesthetic runs so deep in me too. I recall so vividly looking at the expensive sportswear worn by fellow Italian friends of my father and thinking they were the coolest people I had ever met. The music, the cinema, the exciting new tech like brick phones and early Casio, I distinctly remember feeling an excitement for the future, like anything was possible. I guess that is fundamentally why I am drawn to it.
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry yep those where the times even a tv on the wrist would be possible, btw Great show TGV keep it up, regards Alfonso
Very true Alfonso. I was a senior in high school in 1984 and bought a Cartier Tank homage by Pulsar. It was all I could afford. I still have it and it works. Just like you, TGV and so many others, I'm still in love with the design and looks of 1980's Cartier pieces. Stay safe!
Of all the watches in my collection, the Santos (medium) is my absolute favorite. And that says a lot considering I also own pieces from Rolex, Omega, JLC,….even Patek, ALS and AP!
doesnt it scratch easy?
Congrats on the new timepiece TVG, and great video as always! I've definitely noticed discounted prices from very reputable Japanese watch dealers on ebay compared to prices here in the US but have always been to scared to deal with customs duty etc.... Might be an interesting idea for a video perhaps of you giving tips/tricks and/or your insight on what all goes into buying a watch overseas on ebay. Cheers!
Tricks? You just buy it and pay the duty. There’s no tricks involved.
Loved the whole episode.. your background history really is excellent and brings the watch alive. I bought my Santos in 1998 in Paris at the Cartier boutique on Place Vendome. It was my first entry into a special watch and as such is dear to my heart. It's the unisex size, auto, 2 tone, gold roman numerals, blue cabochon on the crown, blue second hand and the wonderful Guillaume dial. All the true classic elements. I don't wear it that often as it is a small watch and the date is minuscule. But your enthusiasm has given me the desire to wear it more...looking forward to your review of it. Congratulations..
Watch ginga just put out a Cartier video you guys on a secret watch youtuber schedule I don’t get ?
Sorry to say I never watch other watch TH-camrs in English that are not So Cal, Marc and Russell. I only have time for the Italian watch channels mainly as it keeps my language skills sharp. As for scheduling, truthfully, due to the long process in acquiring this watch from Japan, production of this video started late last year, so it must be coincidence.
Thank you for watching,
Best regards,
TGV
My mother gave me a Cartier Santos (cabee) gold and steel for my 21st in the early 1980’s. it was my daily wearer for 20 years. I still wear it from time to time. It was the large model then but would be mid size now. It’s an automatic and only ever needed service once (so far). Fabulous watch and all things considered probably the best and most versatile design of all my watches.
Congratulations TGV! Beautiful piece.
And what is not to like with Cartier? Sophistication, elegance, and purity. And all this with history. An Urban Gentry icon? 😉
Not my cup of tea but I love your reaction!!!
15:38 💪
The Cartier Tank to me is the iconic dress watch. Whether in 18K, 18K gold electroplate, stainless steel, sterling silver or vermeil. And the choice of movements, manual, automatic or quartz. Any combination of the above is classic.
""The distinctive square bezel and oval shape was inspired by the "New Machine Age" of the time, as well as various clocks that Cartier had previously produced...A blue sapphire cobouchon was placed in the crown - a gemstone chosen because in the medieval and ancient world it signified celestial faith and hope. They are also believed to have properties of protection and good fortune, perfect for somebody in the early days of flight.""
You said it! And it's very true, and there's so much more!
It's just beautiful how you do this. You bring the history to life (or perhaps back to life) and in such a wonderful way. You really do educate people, or at least inspire them to become educated. Cheers and thank you for another wonderful video!
Awesome 👍 it's not your ordinary or expected version of the Santos. Makes it stand out. Quartz is totally fine for such a watch. Always believed with Cartier Tank and Santos, without a running seconds in many examples, who cares if it's quartz. You'd never know or miss the fact it's not mechanical, hand wound or automatic. Always ready and accurate. Especially since you have a moon phase complication, never have to be concerned with figuring out what phase the moon is if the watch had powered down (if it were a mechanical) and taking extra time resetting that as well. Set and forget for the most part. Enjoy the outliers within the classics.
Great choice, man!
I've had the black adlc Santos for over a year now. Selling everything else this is it for now to me. Will wait till after the Rolex mania for grand Seiko to take the 👑. Good buy TGV!
OMG, you jammy thing! Love that watch, enjoy it a little extra for me please!
Thank you John,
Best regards,
TGV
I dunno what Pocahontas told you but Rolex will never lose the crown 👑 congrats on the santos though awesome watch 👏
@@WatchUnwind the imaginary crown, you mean?
@@diavalus yes that’s the one
The Cartier Santos is definitely 👍 my favorite Cartier and definitely the mid size no date is my favorite.I just can't get behind that date window cutting into the sub dial on the chronograph version. Gotta love Wall Street
Full of enthusiasm, deep dive into the watch design history, appreciation for the brand, all the reasons so many of us are TGV fans. Another good one!
Nice looking Santos...Quartz...or Automatic. .. both wonderful pieces. I currently own the latest Santos. Can't complain
Nothing speaks more class and luxury than Cartier or Movado wristwatch on someone’s wrist. For example Rolex is just tacky in comparison.
Soooo, the Cartier Santos is basically the very first pilot watch?
The first wristwatch actually
Santos Dumont was such a pioneer. Great to hear about his importance, not only in aviation history but also on wristwatches.
Yeah, he's super famous in Brazil! Known as the inventor of the airplane.
@@bahia9991not noodles then🙄
@@marc7983 Who are the noodles in your view?
Objectively my favorite Cartier would be the Tank Anglaise I have since it's the only one I have but I'm hoping to add a Santos to my collection in the near future. The largest size is pushing it on my smaller wrist but the smaller sizes don't have a date complication which I find handy for my work and I don't want this to just be a weekend watch.
It's crazy that you just released your first video on the Santos the exact week I bought mine, which is my first luxury watch. Before buying, I rewatched your videos on questions to ask and tips for buying a used watch. Thank you for everything!
So happy to hear that and knowing I could help in some way means the world to me.
Congrats on the Santos! 😎🙏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing that.
Best regards,
TGV
sorry , i am not a santos lover . not my taste , but happy when you are ,Darling !
Thank you! 🙏
Best regards,
TGV
Congrats TGV! Another iconic machine. Waiting to see the combo straps in this one 😉
As another TH-camr (I forgot his name) described Cartier watches as GOD Tier of all other watches - he explains it well. I agree after watching his video.
I have the original vintage (1985) Santos Carree (automatic/2961) - "the boxy" Santos as you described - no regrets. In the movie Wall Street, Mike Douglas wore the Galbee - Mastif version in 18kt all gold
My bro how the hell did I miss this 😳....I just responded to you on Cuba Santos and then I see you got this lil beauty..luv it ‼️‼️🎯 now let me catch on what I've missed. No notification have popped up 👎🏾 You Tubes messing about. Hope all is well brother👊🏾
Hot shower, TGV! Forget about flying like a crazy with no protection, Alberto invented the hot shower!!!!! Amazing watch!
I think maybe Bud Fox got a Panthere when he upgraded? I could be mistaken. Didn’t think it was a Santos.
Question about your Santos…
… specifically about your experience with power reserve. I know the Santos only has a 42hr power reserve… that’s not my complaint or question. My question is about getting to that power reserve (or even half of it)…
How often did you wear it, for how many hours a day, and how much did you feel you had to wind it to “top it off” each day, if at all?
Manual winding to top it off is a feature the watch has, but it seems inefficient to me. 50 winds gets me ~ 8 hours. 160 winds gets me ~ 42 hours. That seems like a lot. Those values are with no wearing, just winding it and setting it down.
With 50 winds + 8 hours of wearing (some desk sitting, plenty of walking) didn’t get it to my 7AM wake-up the next day. Did you experience anything like this or is there something wrong with mine?
Thanks! Great videos.
Edit: Whoops, I see you got the quartz. I guess I’ll have to go elsewhere for my power reserve answers. 🤣🤣
I love buying from Japan. Watch sellers there are a cut above. Great product, great to work with. Anyway pure class TGV, you old thing, enjoy your Santos! I do have a special request: could you please make us a mega-omnibus of our superhero-come-villain, you guessed it: Hugo. That's right, a compilation of all Hugo Mountbatten's appearances on The Urban Gentry! I know it would require A LOT of editing and your time is precious, but it would be so worth it! Uncork a bottle of your favorite Chianti and have a few chuckles along the way! I do so appreciate everything you do and have brought to the hobby in spreading knowledge and love of horology and not just watches!
I've watched just about every Cartier Santos video online because it's just jumped up to second on my list of watch priorities (after an Air King 14000). But yours is by far the most educational, thorough, and divine to watch. Your attention to detail and passion for the subject shines through and makes these videos timeless and invaluable. Thank you for the work you put into these.
I buy a santos steel automatic in year 2000 at only 2600$ new in cartier,unfortunatly for economical problem i've had to sell it 3 years after for only 1600$...today i am looking for one in grey market and first its hard to find in good condition and its insanly expensive,4500 or 5000$ minimum...sincerly its too much.
I just used the eBay Authenticity Guarantee to get my first luxury watch, a Cartier Santos Galbee XL. It arrives in a couple days and I can’t wait! Thank you for your recommendation. I’ve been watching your channel since I was deployed in Afghanistan back in 2017 and it’s been nothing but amazing content. I remember you talking about the Orient Bambino so that was the first Automatic watch I bought back then. Wish the absolute best for you!
Speaking of Charlie Sheen and watches. In Two and a Half Men Charlie wears the same platinum Rolex Yacht-Master for all seasons, which I think is a nice little detail to show off his wealth (in a relatively modest way), having that said, his broke-ass looser brother Alan end up with no less than 3 Rolex watches; a black Submariner, a Day-Date with frosted bezel and one unknown model. You should think he could flip those watches for money, but it never happens. Also, after Charlie's death its revealed that he bought a $60k Cartier which he kept in a bank box. I also believe he bought a Cartier to his mother at some point, who responded with "thank you, now I don't have to wear my good watch every day"...
That living room looks COMFORTABLE
SNES on the go an' everything!..lol
Enjoy the Santos Bruvva!
T, A very interesting video mate. Wonderful and classic watch. Like you I couldn't give a shit about people moaning about it being Quartz... I own loads of Quartz and loads of Automatics... What's the problem eh? Hope you and E are keeping well and staying safe. Best as always. Matthew
At 4:30 you said that Patek create the first lady's wristwatch in 1868, but it's the first swiss wristwatch. The first lady's wristwatch was invented by Breguet with the Reine de Naples in 1810. Congrats from France.
I love the WGSA0011 lrg. I got sick of Waiting for Rolex and made the jump to Cartier. I suspect many others feel the same way.
That is just me, but for me Cartier is more a brand for women. Rappers it's all about bling bling things, right ?
What is funny, Cartier has more quartz models for women as for men. Women don't care about automatic watches :D
Congratulations TGV!
The rectangular Cartiers and the Patek Calatrava are the only watches on which I like Roman numerals. My Cartier of choice would be the Tank MC with the small seconds dial on six o’clock! Congrats on your new acquisition!
Cartier Santos, with its case with clearly visible screw heads (is it a correct name?), looks perfectly steampunk, just like Royal Oak.
(Not my personal style - and also I can't really afford these watches - I love ultra-futuristic stuff ;) )
Great vid... hey TGV 👋 any interest in obtaining a Seiko speedtimer SSC813 Panda? It's growing on me! Would love to see a review on the Channel! Keep up the great content.
Excellent Vid. Love the cream colour and the smallish Date indicator hand. And the fact that it has no seconds hand. I loathe center mounted seconds hands on square watches. YUCK! To me they just look wrong like a bad taste mish mash of vintage and modern. Square watches suite small sub-dials for seconds hands - way more classic. Therefore I do like the Santos Chronograph , and Cartier rectangular tanks that feature the sub seconds, and really love the Roger Dubuis Golden Square with Roman Numerals and small sub seconds though they are way more expensive than the Cartiers.
Awesome!!
Tried it out 4 weeks ago and me and my better half both fell in love with the santos. Something amazing about it that I cant put into words, it was just amazing.
Congrats bud!
...the sleeper in the range is the WSSA0036...manual wind with a Piaget 430p movement :)
Sorry TGV. I have never seen a Cartier that I like.The only thing I like about the watch is that it is a quartz. Not my cup of tea,but still fun to see you so excited. SEIKO IS KING !!!
Sweet watch. I guess I have to hustle now to get a 40% discount in Japan now that you've TOLD EVERYONE. Still a sweet watch though.
Minuto 9:18 "è un capolavoro veramente"🔝 🇮🇹
yes i love cartier watches and i like also the two tone but my favorite its the new santos wssa0037 or wssa0039!!
Grazie per i tuoi video.
For a dress watch it's Cartier or JLC Reverso - you gotta pick a side. (I'm JLC myself, but respect to TGV for the Santos🤠)
You sure about the originator of the wrist watch? Patek? ...pretty confident Breguet holds this title with the commission of a braceleted timepiece by Queen of Naples on June 8th 1810.
congrats! really nice peace
Enjoy your new toy. You Made me smile seeing You unboxing your amazing watch choice. Have fun and keep smiling.
I just acquired the Pasha chronograph seatimer 42mm stainless. I chose this because of it’s unique design and that it’s a “divers” style watch. Every part of its design is unique.
FYI that's a Spyderco Harpy. Very cool knife and elegant watch. Thanks for sharing.
By comparison with a Rolex OP, these are an absolute bargain, more interesting, in my opinion better looking and most importantly, available for purchase. Why wouldn’t you want one?
Haha this guy presumptuously bragged paying the relic 40pct less than asking price! Normal coz nobody want a quartz haha. Omg
Why did they use 'IIII' instead of 'IV' for the 4 hour marker? Legibility? (too close to VI ?)
Thanks for the Cartier Santos history lesson too.
Not a real two-tone fan, but that's a great piece. Moonphase is tasty. Quartz is so nice to grab and go, especially for a complication like moonphase. My next piece might be a tank solo. I want to be like Ali and Miles Davis. ;)
Who cares who likes it!! As long as you love it that's what matters.
Personally as a watch enthusiasts I would love to have it but on a personal opinion, it won't be my 1st choice. The FUNNY thing is that my dream watch you might think its trash. That's the beauty of loving a watch but congrats on getting your dream watch and congrats on adding a amazing piece to your collection. I hope you get to enjoy it and it hope it goes up in price. Wish u the best my friend.
Awesome tgv just awesome 😎
The Cartier Santos Medium is the only non Rolex luxury watch I've considered buying.
Good buy and good work! Quartz - why not? I have a Cartier Panthere quartz. After an effortless 20 years it has never been serviced. When I do open the Box to call upon it's formidable and immaculate presence it is still there - dutifully ticking away.
It has required a few batteries in that time. It is worth pointing out that the current crop of battery driven Cartier wrist watches will now power the watch for 7 years. (Tell that to the Wife or partner; and save a few thousand toward your next automatic !)
Great video, TGV. Sadly, I won’t be in the market for a Cartier watch anytime soon, so I’m relegated to shopping for their fragrances. Pasha Parfum, Roadster and Declaration d’un Soir.
Lol me too. However there are a number of fun and quite affordable Seikos from this era that took design cues from Cartier and have a very distinct "80's" vibe to them. Square watches were commonplace in business environments at that time. Even though I'm a bit older than TGV I identify with the 80s more than any other decade!
@@metatechnologist yeah i bought the “quartz seiko tank” for little over 100€..
Wall Street.Great film I could still watch and enjoy now.Great lines.My favorite being " I have never measured the size of a mans success by the size of his wallet".Great stuff.
This doesn't have a running seconds, hence it's cannot be an ISO certified diver. Also, the crown is not screwed down. I'd bet it's good while showering only. No solar power or atomic timekeeping... ain't for me. I like G shocks in the Opera House.
TGV. Love the Santos. The santos and the JLC master control sector dial are my two grail watches. Could you review the Sector dial JLC?
Cartier is my favourite watch, I have three tanks! Your happiness is contagious, congratulations ㊗️
Was looking through your videos before I pull a trigger on a seiko sup880 or swr049 - a homage to the cartier tank. Sad that u didn’t have a review on it :(
I have one of those extra flat drive.. fun watch these are
Wearing my champagne dial version as I watch your video. I bought mine for my 50th birthday. Wear it everyday.
Hi TGV, I was wondering if you have ever seen a "Longines Ferrari" as a possible vintage homage to your "Santos"???
Beautiful watch! I just bought two tone Certina DS-8 Powermatic this week and I am excited as much as you!
Thank you TGV, what a stunning Cartier! I love both quartz and automatic watches! Each have a purpose for their job! Thank you for sharing the new acquisition! Stay healthy and well! Nicholas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌👌👌🌊🌊🌊⏱⏱⏱
Yes, the quartz version is a bit of a downer, perhaps... but it looks amazing on you! Great choice and fits your image perfectly. Well done!
Love this. Great purchase. Wear it well Sir 👍🏴
Damn it. I was looking at getting one of these and the prices are going to skyrocket now. Should have pulled the trigger sooner. That's a beautiful pice TGV
Pure Art Deco, pure class !!! Perfect watch for a british gentleman like you. Sorry, i like aaaall Santos.
Hello from Denmark! Awesome movie poster you got in the background (Pusher 2)
Tristano, did you check out the new smaller 36mm combat sub divers? Date at the 6 and they actually look pretty well made for the price. 36mm is a bit small for my wrist but they did a good job on them.
Mazel Tov!! Wow is that pretty! Looks like the dial has a beautiful creamy patina setting in too 😍 Well Done!
That face is a work of art - beautiful quartz piece. (Absolutely nothing wrong with quartz!)
Good stuff!! Long time fan of your channel. You were one of the inspirations for me making my own channel. I would love to add a santos to my collection one day but I just picked up a Rolex OP 41 two weeks ago so it might be a long while before my wife agrees to another watch
Congrats on the OP, what dial did you for for? You can't go wrong with those watches.
I am honored by your kind words regarding the channel Thank you and onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry I have the green dial 😃
Weird story, once I saw a Door Dash driver with a Santos. Looked like a 40mm with a domed crystal. I was surprised he had one but maybe it's a better way to make money than I had thought.
