An early model of the "Cartier Santos Galbee" arrived today.
I think this is the vintage watch that has attracted the most attention in the last few years.
The sharp and edgy design is also known as Santos Square or Santos Carree.
This product is highly acclaimed not only for its sophisticated design but also for its high practicality.
Cartier's most famous watch is the Tank.
It goes without saying that the Santos is also a symbol.
I've tried it myself and it's perfect for casual and formal occasions.
I am impressed by its versatility, which makes it useful in any situation.
The item we have just received is even more attractive.
Complete service at Cartier in August 2021.
At that time, the dial, hands, etc. are replaced with new ones.
Even at the time, the cost of maintenance to this extent seemed high,
If you were to request repairs from the manufacturer for the same issue now,
The complete service alone costs about 100,000 yen, and the dial costs about 60,000 yen.
It's a considerable amount when you include the cost of other parts.
Along with the price increase of the product, repair costs and parts costs have also increased significantly.
If you have had your product repaired by a manufacturer in the past,
You can rest assured that they will often replace any parts you need.
Especially with Santos watches from the 1980s, the paint on the dial often cracks, so
I'm sure there are many people who would be happy if the dial could be replaced.
The texture of the paint has also been improved, and the inscription on the 6 o'clock side has been changed to "SWISS MADE",
It has a slightly different feel to the original parts.
The temperature is gradually decreasing and we are now in the season of autumn.
A watch that is small enough not to get in the way even when wearing long sleeves is useful.
It is a practical watch that has been well maintained,
It's sure to be useful in the coming season.
Over the past few years, the prices of each Santos model have continued to rise.
You can really feel how much attention and popularity it has.
However, since vintage watches are all individual, the condition of each one varies greatly.
It's sad when something you've bought and loved breaks right away.
This is even more so if the dial or other parts need to be replaced.
In that case, you want to choose a car that has been well maintained from the start.
We highly recommend this Santos.
However, there aren't many opportunities like this,
Don't miss this opportunity.
We're sure we won't be able to provide the same item in the next shipment!
