Cartier Santos XL 35mm Men's Watch in stainless steel



                                             Cartier Santos, Waranty, Booklet and Box

Size Comparison with A Rolex Day Date  36mm
I have been talking to HK Watchers today as Saturday usual gathering about my Passion on Cartier, I started on Santos stainless steel two tone back to 1983. At That time a men’s Santos Two tone auto was selling HKD$4,000. That was three month salary of a fresh University graduates in HK.

It is not cheap, but it got the style! I still remember three of us bought one each at same time because of quantity discount!

After a couple of years, I bought a thin Santo Tank vermeil Watch with hand wind mechanical, That is a small watch in Today’s watch size standard. But it was a very Elegant dress watch for me. In 1997 I bought another Santos two tone Auto hexagonal shape with black dial. I still remember that was the burst of Asian Economy turmoil that I can get 7 Thai baht with 1 HK Dollar, I bought that watch with HKD$3,500 in Bangkok World Trade Centre, Isn't that a good deal?

This is another Santos Stainless steel, 35mm Auto with much thicker watch case and strap, it comes with books, paper and Box, Excellent Plus Condition, no scratches and looks almost new.

    Hi Jia,
    We buy Cartier just because of it's status on the fashion and trend, their watch ismlike jewelry ... Manybof their movement is from ETA! Only limited model are using Cartier movement. If you want Cartier go Halewinner.

    For IWC , Omega, jLC, AP, Piaget, Roger Dubuis, Tag Heuer, Cartier, and VC,
    Go Halewinner at Mongkok flagship shop, at Mongkok Chong Hing Square. MTR mongkok exit. Opposite sino centre. Look for Manager "Lung" .
    Good discount!
    There is no VAT in Hong Kong.
