exper Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Any one here with a new Silver Santos 100 ? I read up on the old RWG site about faults such as the deployment and the SWISS MADE (which I believe still exists although the dep has been fixed) but the posts seem quite out of date now. Just wondering if there is a new version and if anyone has bought one of these recently ? Pics would be great too Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halley Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 No I don't think there is a new version out for now, dial appears still flawed to me... Soon maybe will see the Santos 100 chrono using a 7753, with date pushers @ 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthebhoy Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I just ordered one from Sillix for a friend of mine. I'll let you know when it arrives as to how it shapes up. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well seems like Angus is selling a Santos 100 chrono, the dial looks a bit wrong but it certainly is a beast of a watch ! I always thought the gen chronoraph was a bit bigger but it seems its listed as 43mm Jonthebhoy, cheers for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I am pretty sure the gen is bigger than that... tried it on and it is a MONSTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Here are some photos of mine, decided to go ahead with the order - it came with the mini Cartier box which was a nice touch. Overall the watch is fairly nice, the clasp does not shut perfectly but I am sure King will take care of that once I notify her/him, the crown DOES sit flush and not like some versions out there. On the wrist the inaccuracies we nit pick over in massive photos such as the Swiss Made are barely noticeable. I've had it on the wrist now for a day of shopping and half a day at work and its gotten more compliments then the Panerai's combined - I guess Cartier being more recogniseable does help. Anyway enough blabbing, heres some photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket754 Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I just wish there was a high enough demand for the Santos 100 so the factories would just fix the flaws. up to the 4th or 5th gen of the PO but we still can't get the 2nd version of this beautiful rep......

dariusp Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 war.... At the bottom of the face the Swiss Made should be seperated by the VI. Swiss VI Made. I have the TT from Silix and while the face has a subtle wave pattern, the Swiss Made is correctly spaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exper Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Great news, well not for me since I just got this but if there is an improved version coming I will definately be ugprading due to being a fan of the S100. Let's just hope they dont fix two things and spoil three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmena Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I've heard that Cartier has made (or is going to make) a smaller version of the Santos 100. Did you hear anything about? This was my first rep (from Paul) but I have a so small wrist that I had to sell it inmediatly. I need (yes, need) a smaller Santos 100 or... A DUMONT!!! PLEASE.

bruce79 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had one too but sold it because the flaws bugged me. The swiss made of course was not spaced evenly. The V and the VII should be equidistant from the VI with the swiss made spaced evenly beneath these. Also the dial is textured which is the biggest flaw in my opinion. And of course the strap. But over all it was a nice strap with a nice feel. When a better, more accurate version comes out I will definitely be getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonton2000 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Another flaw with the rep dial on ALL rep versions that no one has seemed to notice, is that the numerals 10 (X) and 11 (XI) should be touching. Look at the example below (sorry for borrowing your pic exper!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
