Recommended Posts

has anyone actually ever purchased a Cartier Santos and if so, are the screws on the case back real screws for unscrewing or are they fake???

I have one which I purchased from a site I got from this forum which is suppose to have an eta 2836 mvt and I need to have it regulated as it goes fast, but have had no luck removing the screws from case back regarless of what I do. I think this is a dud of a watch. Any help with information please. Thanks

The one I had (regretfully sold) the screws in the back worked.

Mine was a flat backed version, is yours the raised chrono style as these may be different

Sounds as if yours is different. Sorry not to be able to help more.

I have the Santos 100 Chrono with A7750 and the screws do hold the back in place, but you have to be careful not to over torque them as they're very small with tiny threads. You may have stripped one or two.

I unscrewed mine on Wednesday....I had just received it, and wanted to check out which 21J movement it contained...Mine has the raised back like on the chrono....The screws were a bit dodgy, some were deeper than others, but I managed to get it back together ok...I would suggest NOT trying to switch the position when reassembling...
