The "Cartier Santos Octagon" that arrived today is a unit that comes with a perpetual warranty, offering Cartier's complete service and free lifetime support for internal natural malfunctions.
It's a valuable item that is becoming increasingly difficult to acquire.
The perpetual warranty was only included with some products around the 1980s, providing free complete service and coverage for natural malfunctions indefinitely.
It's truly a miraculous service.
As a condition, the watch body and warranty certificate must always be presented together, and when requesting repairs, you need to bring them to a Cartier boutique or similar location.
Basically, the complete service and labor are free, but parts are charged at cost. If complete service is required due to external factors, the service will continue once a paid repair has been received.
Since all wristwatches, no matter where they are bought, eventually require an overhaul, if the main service is free for life, you can understand how wonderful that service is.
This time, it's the masterpiece Santos Octagon SM size from the 1980s.
As this is an automatic watch, the dial is white and there is no date function.
The combination of a very rare SM size and automatic movement is unusual not only for Cartier but also for other brands.
Since many current ladies' watches are quartz, this is a recommended item that allows you to truly appreciate the charm of a wristwatch.
The appearance is very similar to the quartz model, but to ensure the thickness of the automatic rotor, the watch is about 2mm thicker than the quartz model.
However, the pure white dial is very refreshing, and it's difficult to choose between it and the quartz model.
While there's no right or wrong, when you consider that this watch offers not only the feel of a classic timepiece but also the best service, this Santos Octagon appears very appealing.
For this sale, a complete service was performed at Cartier, and various parts such as the dial, hands, and crown have been replaced with new ones.
It has been given the best maintenance for daily use.
Units with a perpetual warranty are becoming increasingly rare, and the timing of their availability is almost uncertain now.
Although this is the first time in a while we've had one in stock, not only is such a wonderful watch rarely found, but we are the only store in the world that sells them with thorough maintenance.
If you miss this one... you might truly not be able to get it next time.
