I’m want to buy my first rep swiss watch can anyone tell me where to get it from and what are the places that are trusted .

First of all I would like to say thank you to all of you that contribute to this community and make it so great. At first I was overwhelmed with the amount of information. But after spending almost 2 full days reading a gazilion posts, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I just placed an order for the Cartier Santos 100 with stainless steel bracelets. I'm just not very confident that I chose wisely. I wanted to run this by you guys since I still have time to modify the order if I need to. From the reviews that I have read the best Cartier Santos that is out there is the ultimate, which does not come with stainless steel bracelets. And the leather bracelets that do come with it are not of great quality. Redwatch, who wrote an excellent review of the Santos Ultimate w/ leather strap, mentioned on another review that the reason he doesn't wear his Santos ultimate that much is because of the leather strap. Quote Source: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/138826-ultimate-cartier-santos-100-with-steel-bracelet/ I compared the pictures on Andrew's website of the Ultimate with leather strap and the stainless steel versions. For the life of me I couldn't notice any difference. Maybe I need new glasses. Can you guys point out the differences, other than the strap, between these two versions? I even looked specifically at the cabochon crown ruby detail and couldn't notice any difference (other than the color, which I thought was the lighting). If there are many differences I'll change my order to get the ultimate with leather strap and look for an OEM strap. Below are the links to the Santos I'm comparing. I'm not endorsing Andrew since this is my very first order with him. Although I can say that he has been providing amazing service so far; and promptly answering all my e-mails.
