Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing the Cartier Santos for a while now. You know, the one with that classic square face and those screws? It’s just so iconic. I heard this watch was made way back in 1904 for pilots, which is pretty cool. Anyway, I finally decided to pull the trigger, but I couldn’t decide on the color.
Most people go for the white dial, which is the classic look. But then I saw the green one, and man, it was something else. It just stood out, you know? I did some digging, and it seemed like not a lot of people were talking about the green dial Santos. There was some chatter about a blue one, too, but the green one really caught my eye.
I went back and forth for a while, weighing the pros and cons. White dial is timeless, but that green was calling my name. Then I remembered something I read online — someone said they got a luxury watch after a big win at work, and it was a green Santos. That kind of sealed the deal for me. I’ve been working my butt off lately, and I figured I deserved a little something special, too.
So, I went for it. I got the Cartier Santos with the green face.
It felt amazing to finally have it on my wrist. It’s got some heft to it, and the green dial looks even better in person. It’s not like an in-your-face green, more of a subtle, classy shade. The stainless steel case and bracelet are super clean, too. It’s kind of like the Seiko SNE435P1 Padi Solar in that sense, but obviously way more luxurious. I had seen some people are talking about the Seiko and think it looks like Santos. But for my own choice, I perfer Cartier than Rolex. You know Cartier and Rolex are those big-shot watch brands. I don’t really care about the history of them, but just focus on their good quality.
- Decision-making process: Initially, I was torn between the classic white dial and the unique green dial.
- Research: I looked for information and opinions online about the green dial version, as it seemed less common than the white dial.
- Inspiration: I was inspired by a comment from someone who bought a green Santos to celebrate a professional achievement.
- Final decision: Considering my own hard work and desire for something special, I decided to purchase the Cartier Santos with the green dial.
- Purchase and first impressions: After buying the watch, I was immediately impressed by its weight, the subtle shade of green on the dial, and the quality of the stainless steel case and bracelet. I also noted its resemblance to the Seiko SNE435P1 Padi Solar in terms of design but emphasized the superior luxury of the Cartier.
What I’ve done
Honestly, I’m so happy with my decision. It feels great to treat myself to something nice, and this watch is definitely that. It’s a reminder of all the hard work I’ve put in, and it just makes me feel good wearing it. If you’re thinking about getting a Santos, don’t be afraid to go for the green. It’s a real head-turner, in the best way possible.
