Anyone reading this don't listen to the dumb guy that rated the watch 1/5 because apparently he doesn't know the difference between rating a product and the website since he rated Amazon and not the watch, *sigh* what a moron, anyways, The Cartier Santos 100 Chrono is BIG, so if you have small wrists go to your local AD (authorized dealer) and try it on (I would recommend doing this for every watch you plan on buying), the face is beautiful and the layout of the sub-dials gives it a nice touch, the date is changed through a recessed pusher at the 10'o clock position, not through the crown like you would normally do, this watch uses an ETA Valjoux 7753 movement, in case you're wondering, very robust. Everything is smooth, and the strap is extremely comfortable! I rate this watch 5/5--!
Here's a tip, don't get the Two-Tone version just yet, get the SS and then get a jeweler to make you a custom 18Kt Gold bezel for it, and with the money you saved buy another watch (Hey, it's a $2,300 difference!)! That's what I did, and they only charged me $500 for the bezel and work including the gold bar on the deployant, how cool is that? Both are 18Kt Yellow Gold, but you can customize it to whatever you like, platinum, diamonds, rose gold, etc. It will still be cheaper than $2,300!
Overall, I love this watch, it's perfect for anything, casual, formal, etc. It's beefy, it stands out, and the dial is breathtaking! 5/5 for this piece of art! |
Great Deal - Very Happy

It's been several months since I purchased this watch. I am so glad that I ordered this product from Amazon.com. I was very afraid I would receive a replica of some sorts. That was not the case! This is the same watch I would have gotten directly from Cartier here in Chicago (I showed them the watch)with two exceptions.
The first is that the warranty is not through Cartier but through Amazon. Normally, these watches simply don't break down unless they are abused and/or not maintained properly. If a Cartier works correctly for a couple of weeks when new, it will more than likely work for a couple of years. I trust that Amazon will stand behind its warranty, just in case I need to use it.
The second exception is the price! I saved over $3000! While still expensive, I would be challenged to find a better looking and made watch for the price.

| Very nice watch, beatuifull design, but you need to have large wrist, the watch is large, check the accurate measurment on cartier website, try this watch in any jewlery store before buying it, but the best price you will find it in amazon espicially when they have deal on it. |
Great watch, horrible service

| Watch is truly beatiful, but service from Amazon Suc*s. I received the watch with wrong manual, and its been over 50dd and I have not received right manual, neither a follow up call from Amazon representatives to know the status of my order. DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH HERE. I know may seem well priced, but headache of dealing with amazon and its useless help/post sale lines is too much to handle. |
