HemiSam Posted April 15, 2024 Report Posted April 15, 2024 I would happily own this sexy beast.... https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-cartier-santos-de-cartier-dual-time-live-pics HS 1
EdipisReks1 Posted May 12, 2024 Report Posted May 12, 2024 (edited) Me too! Speaking of Cartier, a medium Santos came my way. I’ve had the large for years now, and love it (it was my everyday watch before the Apple Watch), but the Medium really has a totally different character. It almost feels vintage, whereas the large feels thoroughly modern. Almost feels like an old Galbee. On my 6.75 inch wrist, anyway. The large wears like a Speedmaster. Definitely larger than my 40mm round watches, as it should. The medium wears more like my 35.5mm cushion Seamaster, and definitely wears smaller than a 1675 GMT. Edited May 12, 2024 by EdipisReks1 1
EdipisReks1 Posted July 3, 2024 Report Posted July 3, 2024 Is my wedding day so I feel like I can finally finally wear my wedding watch. 6
HemiSam Posted August 12, 2024 Report Posted August 12, 2024 I was perusing one of the digital rags in my inbox and came across this gem in one of the articles. I very much like the dial and the size. HS 1

EdipisReks1 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 (edited) I owned the silver dial original version, which I couldn’t read due to silver on silver, but a blue dial Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Calendar is on its way to me. I miss the silver dialed version, even though legibility was such an issue, so now that prices have come down on the secondary market I had to jump.

EdipisReks1 Posted November 4 Report Posted November 4 The JLC Calendar watch fell through (I think somebody offered more money on a different platform after my payment was accepted), so I scratched the JLC itch with a Reverso classic monoface small seconds. I like it much more than the GRUT I used to own. 3
EdipisReks1 Posted November 9 Report Posted November 9 (edited) I feel a Speedy itch. Has anybody worn the new sapphire sandwich? Today I'm wearing the Cartier Drive de Cartier Extra Plat. It's my second. The very first one I gave to somebody, at a wake for their grandfather, while very drunk, right off my wrist. I always regretted it, so when I found a brand new one for $2100 I of course jumped on it. It's a perfect watch. I have it on a dark green Hodinkee epsom strap with contrast stitch (the 16m buckle from Cartier that I needed was dear for such a small little piece of metal). I'm glad to have it back on my wrist.

EdipisReks1 Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 A new (well, to me anyway) Sapphire Sandwich is coming my way. I tried one on at an AD. As nice as the new bracelet is, I will immediately put it on a Forstner flat link. I’m excited: the new one is really the watch I always wanted a Speedy to be, minus the “heritage” I indulged in the Pre-moon with. I imagine I’ll keep the watch for life. Or until I give it away to somebody. 1
Hopstretch Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 Bit excessive but I got an unworn Platona from EWC. Traded the Lange 1815 Chrono and a couple of other watches I wasn't wearing much. We're all going to die soon, might as well enjoy it. IDK? 6 1
robm321 Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 (edited) I'm not even a watch guy, but that is a sweet looking watch. Congrats! Edited November 24 by robm321
Grahame Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 Congrat, Andrew, the OnlyFeet/FeetFinder side hustle paid off then?
HemiSam Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 (edited) That's a stunner! Love my chocolate on an oysterflex strap...zero regrets. Enjoy! HS I realized I never posted it.... Edited November 24 by HemiSam 3
EdipisReks1 Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 Damn, those Daytonas are stunners! I had an opportunity to buy one in yellow gold for a good price about 10 years ago. I should have taken it.
EdipisReks1 Posted Monday at 05:37 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:37 PM Sapphire Sandwich arrived. I neglected to make sure the stock bracelet had enough links, so it’s a good thing I had a Forstner Flat Link (which was a bear to size) ready to go. I’m very happy with it. 1
EdipisReks1 Posted 36 minutes ago Report Posted 36 minutes ago Omega sure makes it cheap and easy to order links.
