I'm not sure I've seen a watch dial that would be improved so much by a better font choice for the name.

TGIF! Have a nice weekend!

Tried on this platinum Santos Dumont XL today at the Cartier boutique at the King of Prussia mall in PA. The roman numerals are handcut out of jasper which look pretty cool when viewed from an angle. The Breguet hands I assume are platinum too, they are just catching reflections in the pic. Released at the 2023 W&W, only 200 made. Not really my thing (or budget) but it was fun to try. IIRC it was just under $24K, which didn't seem unreasonable for platinum.

While I do love platinum, can not reconcile the red numerals. Price is rather reasonable.

I don't *get* platinum but I ******* love that watch . agree the price seems really reasonable . that fuxx

I can’t help but think the platinum CPCP is the better call for the same price.

I couldn't agree more. I like the bezel profile, lugs, and dial far more on the past version of the Santos Dumont. The current Santos Dumont is nice, but there isn't a version of it that I actually want to own.

That new platinum Tank Américaine with the art deco dial is the business. If only I had like $25k to throw away on a watch.

Platinum Santos Dumont CPCP is at the top of my neovintage list. It is so ridiculously stealthy and 4mm thickness is so cool.

Sorry for the redundancy, folks! The honeymoon phase is still in full swing, but I’ll spare you any further Pepsi posts - after this one…

That's one where I really like the yellow gold version with the darker dial a bit more than the platinum. I'm hoping to see one when they arrive at boutiques later in the year. TBH, I've liked the gold versions of their recent releases more than the platinum versions, as I find many of the platinum model's dials looked a bit washed out (like on the the new Tortue Monopoussoir, the Tank Asymetrique, the Tank Cintree).

Waiting for dinner!
