Santos-Dumont love! (Looking for strap recommendations)
Greetings! This is my first post here, very excited to join this community!
This is the second piece in my collection, replacing an Exp II Polar that I ended up selling due to how it felt and wore on my 6.5” wrist.
I was so fortunate to find this at a local AD in Los Angeles, and while I’m giddy everytime I put it on, I would love to find some different strap options to mix up the ways this can be worn.
I’ve seen it on some brown leather straps (Molequin, I believe) and definitely the Delugs CTS straps look good (so many color options!).
Curious if there are any other brands or colors I might be missing in my search. Appreciate any recommendations!!

Hey ho, welcome to the Crunch!
And nice watch 👌🏻Not a Cartier owner myself, but know ABP in Paris do quality straps, also specifically for Cartier:

This is absolutely gorgeous. Great watch!
I’ll throw some out there options into the mix in case you need to take a risk and jazz it up. Definitely take on some more versatile options too.
Bold colours or go with some kind of bracelet if you found a way to make it work. I can’t imagine how it would be possible or what wouldn’t look completely mad. I really want someone to go mad scientist on my behalf though.
You are very lucky that was waiting for you. Somone must have said no after allocation because I have clients that are still waiting to receive theirs a year after a full deposit
Welcome to the community. The Black Lacquer Santos Dumont is stunning! I repeat! Stunning! It makes me happy just to see someone here has one, and I think you're the very first person on here who has (well, at least who has posted a pic with one). The lacquer dial Dumonts were first released in 2022 and when I first read about them and saw them in pictures, I fell in love. They are very hard to get. You did well to acquire it, congrats!

Thank you! I feel very lucky - I was talking with my AD on the phone about Tudor, and randomly inquired and they had one of these sitting for a few weeks (early 2024 delivery)! Unsure if someone passed, but I put my deposit on it that same hour and picked it up shortly thereafter.

Thank you! I can’t stop looking at it when it’s on my wrist, and I’ve fallen deep for Cartier in general!

Have a deposit on one of these w/ Cartier. Very excited!
