RE: Santos, I have an irrational attraction to the two-tone version. I‘m not normally a fan of TT, but think it really fits on the Santos.
Well, some people feel the two-tone version is historically the right model to get, since that is how the Santos de Cartier was originally released in 1978. The all gold and the all steel came later.
The Santos is attractive, but comes with the same 2 square watches in a 3 watch collection issue, and Datejusts are great watches, but there isn’t really a Goldilocks case size for me and I’d like for the 3rd watch to not be another Rolex.
Why would it be an issue having 2 square watches in a 3 watch collection. I know guys that own 5 watches and all of them are round. Square or other non-round shaped watches are cool and stand out in a sea of people all wearing round watches. Plus the Santos looks totally different on a metal bracelet, leather strap, or rubber strap. It's really like having 3 watches in one.
