james93921 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hello Everyone! Just signed up and wanted to know where I can find the Medium (38mm) Cartier Santos 100 rep? I have a small wrist and would really love to have the medium size. Thanks in advance for all your help. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 hi james -- welcome to the promised land of reps (hold on to your wallet). currently none of our trusted dealers have the 38mm santos 100 rep (just the 42mm size). how small are your wrists? i think you would be surprised what you can pull off...if there is a cartier AD in your area i would go in and try on the 42mm version just to see how it sits on your wrist. dt Hello Everyone!

He has one on his site (not the 38mm) that looks really promising. I've tried the 42 mm version and it's too big, but does not look bad. the 38 mm version looked better. But I've been looking at Josh's site, lots of cool stuff, plus he seems to have a great reputation around here. I'll try him out for my first rep cartier.

puttputt Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've also got small wrists (7.5"") and I've found that 40 mm watches are the upper limit for me. I've got a few 37mm watches (two pateks) that look great... I think that's about the right size for me. I wish I could pull off a 44 mm panerai, but it just looks silly on me. Good idea on making sure that the Cartier watch you yearn for isn't too big for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 note that all wrists are not created equal. people with flat, wide wrists can wear much bigger watches than people with round, cylindrical wrists. i also have 7.5" wrists, and i'm comfortable wearing 47mm watches -- i have a 217 and recently also picked up a 187. i think part of it is also just getting used to seeing bigger watches on your wrist. dt I've also got small wrists (7.5"") and I've found that 40 mm watches are the upper limit for me.

puttputt Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Good point. The main thing is how wide the wrist is at the top rather than the circumfrence. For me, anything over 40 mm just dominates my wrist and doesn't look good. I guess its also a matter of personal taste. I just don't like to wear a watch that covers the entire top of my wrist. For others, that is the ideal size watch! Main point: know what you think looks best and find watches you like in that size.

dec Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 When I was younger... if someone had said that one day there would be a wonderful thing called the Internet, where people from all over the world could discuss how 'flat and wide' their wrists are .. I'd have wondered where civilisation was headed... 6.5" flat wrist over here, btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james93921 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 So I know, I have small wrists but i just purchased this: http://perfect-clones.com/cars10005-santos...del-p-1086.html from Joshua's site. It's a 42 mm. I'll give it a try. I think it looks great. What do you guys think? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
