Santos De Cartier Medium
I have saved all year for this watch. I save $150 a week, every single week, until I have the majority of the cash for the luxury watch I want. I’ve been eyeing this watch since January, and I finally pulled the trigger. I am in love.

Congratulations on a beautiful timepiece.
Congrats! If I were to add a cartier, it probably will be the medium santos as well. I like the Santos Dumont XL bit a little too large for my wrist.
I have tried on the Santos , photos really don’t do it justice . What a nice watch I thought when I tried it on . Congratulations on a great timepiece.
Out of curiosity, how long did you have to wait, once you had the funds?
I could learn from you, I bet it’s pretty darn fulfilling to get that piece and if you hold that long for the purchase and you still want it at the the end, then I bet you you have 0 doubts you want that watch.
Curious have you ever saved for a piece and then at the end changed your mind?
Congrats on an incredible, versatile, and lovely watch.
I usually keep a couple options in mind when saving for a watch. That way if I go into an AD and try it on, but don’t love it, then I’ll still have another option to look at. Luckily, I’ve always enjoyed the choices once I see them on my wrist. I have been eyeing some Breitlings and I’m worried that when I try them on, they will be too large for me, so I’ll keep another watch in mind while I’m saving for my next one.

How do you mean? Once I had the funds, I just waited for the right time to go into an AD. I happened to be going to San Francisco with some friends last weekend, and there was a Cartier boutique there. I went in, and they luckily had the watch in stock. Supposedly, it was the last Cartier Santos medium they had in stock. I told them I’d sleep on the decision, and they said they’d hold it for me for 24 hours. I got the AD’s business card, then texted her the next day to set up an appointment to come in, and I walked out with the watch after about 30-45 minutes.

Perfect!

Yup. I had to wait 3 weeks for mine, but it was not like I couldn't try one on at the boutique. Just comparing. I've always had great experiences at my local Cartier boutique and never felt like I didn't earn the right to be there or at least, try things on.
Enjoy. It’s a beauty. Just got my Santos as well.
Congrats! That is the most rewarding feeling!

Yeah, they were very welcoming to me in there. I’ve heard that some people have had to wait a week or two to get the watch they want. I guess I just got lucky! Even more reassurance that I made the right decision. I hope you enjoy your watch as much as I’ve been enjoying mine. I know this is the honeymoon phase, but I honestly don’t know how I could enjoy any other watch more than this one.
