The "Cartier Santos Galbee" that arrived today is not only a practical quartz model,
A very popular all-stainless steel model.
But that's not all this time.
This watch has been serviced once at Cartier in June 2022.
At that time, we provide a complete service (machine replacement) and
In addition to the crown, hands, various screws, and bracelet pins,
The back case has been replaced with a new one.
Maintenance is quite costly,
Today we replaced the battery and cleaned the case and bracelet.
I'm doing a good job with maintenance,
There is something more I would like to tell you.
The bracelet is a later model with a folding buckle.
The structure of the bracelet itself has changed significantly from the previous model.
This is a very robust and practical bracelet.
In addition to thorough maintenance, it is a sturdy bracelet,
Although it is a vintage watch, it is also a practical watch.
If you were to complete the maintenance up to this point,
Currently, it costs more than buying a single watch.
This is because on September 10th of this year, Cartier products saw a significant price increase.
This has led to an increase in maintenance and parts costs.
The basic fee for the complete service is 66,000 yen for quartz models,
A new stainless steel bracelet installation costs 352,000 yen,
At that point, it will exceed 400,000 yen.
If you consider the various parts and other items, the total amount becomes quite substantial.
Considering the high level of design of the Santos, you can see how attractive this particular model is.
It is a slightly rugged and masculine watch that is different from the Tank,
The watch itself has a strong appeal, as it does not require any extra decoration.
However, no matter where you buy a watch, it will always require maintenance.
When it comes to vintage watches, this importance becomes even more important.
It is also fitted with a sturdy bracelet that has been well-finished.
Above all, there aren't many watches that are not only practical but also have excellent design and size.
This is also a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, typical of vintage watches.
This is truly a fascinating item that you don't want to miss out on.
