This came this morning. I found it in the WUS classifieds.

My nephew that has the world’s greatest taste in watches, has both the Tank Louis Cartier and the Santos. While loving both of those- I’m super happy with the one i found. I do see an XL Santos in my future… maybe one with the blue dial.

I can’t believe how much I love it on my wrist. Also, after reading complaints in different places about the strap/deployment thing- I guess I’m the contrarion. I love it.

Now, I get it…

My First… NOW I get it…

I didn’t start out to buy a Santos. In fact I started out to by a rectangular-ish dress watch. As things usually start out I was looking at sensible candidates which started with the Hamilton American Classic Boulton! Then I decided on either the Boulton OR a Longines Dolce Vita. I was able to actually LOOK at the Boulton and thought it was slightly small and couldn’t locate a Dolce Vita in my area. Then I was like….BOTH of these are really a copy/homage of a Cartier Tank!

Of course I…

So I bought a Santos!
