Boutiques need to take better care of their watches.

Money can solve problems yes, but there are simpler methods to prevent visible wear.
Method 1:
To protect the 18k bezel, a protective film can be applied at the factory and I am sure this would reduce the scratches to almost zero.
Currently Cartier uses these hard plastic covers on the watch case which I assume contributes to the scratches especially when dusts gets trapped inside. A more thoughtful design combining adhesive film and hard cover, can help in this case.
Method 2:
Replica santos are sold for <$500, so I doubt it would cost cartier more than $1000 to have floor display models. (An assumption) This would not be possible at the ADs but for a boutique, why not?
SUR361 looks to fit much better in my opinion, maybe the quality of the Presage is making you biased. You should definitely buy the Grand Seiko to be sure this is not the case 😂
I started with a huge Bell and Ross as a newcommer to a hobby a year ago, and recently started downsizing to 36mm!
Sold my SRPE51 and bought a chinese watch (San Martin) to try out. It looks great but the movement is rubbish.
Watch stops overnight after wearing for the entire day, worries about winding, and a very wobbly rotor. (which I tried to tighten but something must be out if alignment)
Never again getting another chinese watch.
