I suddenly have a weird hankering for a Cartier Santos of some kind, don't know why, and I don't know much about the different ones available.

It won't be purchased soon, having only just received the Railmaster, but I'd like to see some options to see what's out there. I'm also indifferent to auto/manual wind or quartz. So let's see what you've got!

P.S. I have small wrists so I'm guessing a medium would be best.

Is that a genuine Cartier leather strap? I want one in a nicer colour than the butterscotch one above that came with my watch, but because of the fitting system, I don't know if knock--off straps are any good

D'oh! Makes sense, given yours is blue and mine isn't.

I looked into alternative straps when I had my Santos, these guys do a great range with the correct cartier santos fixing system.

I'm the same. Went into AD at the weekend. Just not sure which size? The medium was slightly smaller than I thought. But the large just feels a bit too big. What to do???

Those bezel screws not be aligned on all of those watches would annoy me

Yes, Cartier watches do something for me also.

I have recently gained a hankering for a Cartier Roadster XL but I already have many watches and have other things to spend my hard earned on right now. But one day, I'm sure one will find it's way into my collection.

Medium.

No screws are ever aligned, the machining would be impossible. Normally the ones you see aligned are fake screws, or bolt heads that are fastened at the back. Personally I'd rather have regular screws than fake ones.

Never wear it on bracelet, so left the stickers on for safe storage. Usually wear in on black strap as a formal watch attire watch.
