I love the Santos (want one, along with 5 other watches right now) but I feel like the gold case doesn't work here.Called Cartier yesterday to setup an appointment for this morning. Tried on several watches but only grabbed pictures of these 2. The SA said that a gold deployant normally runs $1500 with an additional $400 for a strap. The SS deployant was about $400 (I think).

Can anyone explain the appeal of Roger Smith’s watches to me? The finish work looks to be a solid step down from comparably priced watches like Dufour, Gauthier, etc. Nothing too interesting on the complication front either? Obviously I’m missing something though.
I’ve never been a fan of the RG and black Cintrée. I’ve always preferred the YG champagne dial.The strap and deployant she rounded up a bit, but its close enough. I just picked up an additional stainless deployant from Cartier and it was $362. When I looked at the cost of an alligator strap a few weeks ago it was $380.
I love the Cintree, but I don't love the brown numerals on the yellow gold version. I think my favorite of the current gold models is the rose with the black/gray dial. View attachment 1625128
Although, I wish they used Romans or Arabic numerals all around, as on this piece unique...

The current Santos Dumont is nice. I the dial with elongated numerals is like very early dials on the watch, but it just doesn't speak to me.
The date window just kills the watch.New AT small second 38 and 41 mm View attachment 1625367 View attachment 1625368
I really want to like the GO but it just didn't do anything for me on my wrist.
I still hope to get a Lange 1 before the price goes any higher...
Would you prefer the regular AT over this new one?The date window just kills the watch.
All this Cartier love is pushing me over the line of finally getting the Mrs a Tank LC. Her birthday is coming up and she just signed a new employment contract that should keep me in fine wine and douchemobiles for the foreseeable future. The Palo Alto boutique apparently has one in stock.

I like the Santos Dumont and I’m glad I can pull off the XL size. I’m not too big a fan of the RG version though. I also tried on the Tank LC and those are really nice in the classic L size. Hopefully my tendies go relatively well through the end of the year and maybe I can pick something in gold in early 2022.
I actually think the GO is a better watch for the $. Moonphase, date discs that don't suck, and finishing that is "close enough" to the Lange. I wish it was a manual wind as it's a bit on the thicc side of things for a dress watch, but hey. Also GO prices used are still pretty low whereas Lange just took off. Probably deserved but it makes the GO an even better deal.

I've behaved and limited my comments. See above.Watch out @Ebitdaddy, I think you just poked all the GO haters in this thread.
