Kollektor Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 In the post about the San Francisco mayor's watch, Gunner Gran posted a piece about the history of the Sant 100 with a picture of a two-tone model. I'm curious to know if any of the models came with the trademark patterned dial--the one pictured looks flat white, just as the chrono is a flat whitish silver, sans patterns. Was there ever a Sant*s 100 model produced with a patterned dial? Just wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 i'm not a cartier expert, but i don't believe the santos 100 (a fairly recently released watch -- i think in 2000?) has ever had a patterned dial.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you are right. My ETA 100 is stunning, but with a patterned dial it is probably a fantasy model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 if you purchased this recently, i'd contact your dealer and see if they will give you a white (un-patterned) dial..... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new & improved osteopath Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 You are correct- there has never been a Gen sanos 100, standard, chrono, or otherwise with a patterned dial. I am now going to get back in line to wait for my iPhone... -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kollektor Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Bummer. Here's a pic of the dial--very nice actually. Couldn't capture the sharpness of the face with the quickie photo setup. Second pic is the 100 next to the chrono (thanks again for the recommendation--the chrono is a keeper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new & improved osteopath Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The Santos 100 chrono w 7753 is by far, the best rep I own, or have ever owned. Glad you are enjoying yours. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best hands down. It also has the most character. Just need to get a new strap on there some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new & improved osteopath Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The OEM alligator instills confidence in repelling the 'call out' factor. Have had this on my wrist next to a two tone in AD and felt no compunction whatsoever about the quality. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new & improved osteopath Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 His strap for the standard 100 is FANTASTIC- only reason I did not get one was A) I dont use PayPal I was really impatient. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
