    in terms of comfort and wearability, which model do you prefer, the 36mm or this new 39mm version?

    Does the clasp have on the fly adjustment? I’m seeing mixed results when I look it up. It seems impossible given the size of the clasp, but I thought I would ask.

    Taught a lot...had a look at a Caree, two-tone, on eBay for 1950€, and the case was almost gone, so much polishing, and the screws were kind of 'hanging out' of a very rounded bezel! So, great teaching!

    I’ve never heard such a dumbf*ck take in all my life. The E2 is like the GMT M2…except for the case, bracelet, finishing, bezel, color options, case material options, and price. Good god.

    My parents bought me a Santos Octagon stainless steel & gold for my 21st birthday..................in 1985, and it is still on my wrist every day, I even go to bed with it on. I have had it serviced every 5 years or so. Last year it had a major service, added a link, replaced the face which had gotton a bit discoloured, and had a new side knob as the stone was chipped. Still have all the paperwork and box. I love it and I am sure it will see me out.

    The Cartier Santos is an iconic beautiful but I would not buy one. Why? Because the Santos is extremely scratch prone, especially on the high polished bezel. Cartier knows about this flaw and refuses to fix it, meanwhile, KZreadrs keep making excuses for the flawed and subpar metal casing. Silver colored watches, such as stainless steel and titanium, are the defacto metal of choice. Why, in 2024, aren't manufacturers making "scratch-proof" watches? There are PVD coatings and nomenclatures like 316L steel, super titanium, TinSkin 3.0, and platinum encasements. A company as profitable and well funded as Cartier has no excuse for making watches that are scratch prone. Invest a little R&D and fix this problem. It's not just a Cartier problem, but most luxury watchmakers don't put in the effort to ensure their watches are "scratch-proof" or as scratch resistant as possible. It's a shame. For this reason alone I would never buy a Cartier Santos. Profits above all. So what are the most scratch resistant metals? Tegiment steel and UltraHex titanium.

    @THISISKENNYC no Carrees produced in the 90’s. Maybe sold then but not produced since Galbée was introduced. Not always 2961 could be other numbers as well

    Hello I just got my 2961 a few days ago with box and paper from the first owner which bought it 1986. What i noticed right at the beginning is that the sapphire of my santos is rather dark and tends to go greenish / dark blue when you shine it with light. Do you know till which year cartier used real sapphires in the reference 2961 and not synthetic ones?As mentioned before my sapphire is rather green or a very strong dark blue instead of the usual blue of the synthetic sapphires. Unfortunately, there is almost no information on the internet about when real sapphires were used.
