The story of the all-steel Cartier Santos with its magnificent bracelet started about 45 years ago. That’s when Cheap Cartier Replica introduced the modern re-interpretation of the original Santos Dumont.It now has that divisive polished bezel that flows into the brushed bracelet instead of being square like before.But I know many people who are okay with the current design. Heck, the current Santos might even be the most popular Santos to date. So let’s see if the large Cartier Santos models in green and blue can convince me.
Tinted and colorful gradient dials
That dark hue is obtained by manually applying a tinted layer of lacquer over the dial. On top of that, the colors have a nice gradient to them. They start lighter in the middle of the dial and deepen towards the edges, so it’s obvious that the darker look is what the Luxury Cartier Replica designers were going for. The effect reminds me of the paint that BMW used on its cars.
Can you spot the color?
In that respect, we’ve deliberately tried to make the photos in this article look as realistic as possible. By that, I mean that Morgan, our photographer, paid extra attention to the representation of the colors of both dials.And that’s precisely how you feel in real life sometimes when you’re wearing the Santos on your wrist. This characteristic can be seen as a feature since this dark hue suits the Fake Swiss Cartier Santos Watches Sale very well.
At times, it reminded me of the 2002 limited-edition Santos Galbée with a gray sunburst dial and white numerals (pictured left above). I’m a big fan of that design, and I prefer it over these blue and green dials. That said, I enjoy these colored dials a lot more than I expected.
Yes, it’s large, but…
Now, let’s talk about that large size. I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it; a square watch is hard to judge on its measurements alone. My AAA Cartier Santos Galbée XL Replica Watches is 32mm wide. In theory, that makes it smaller than the current medium size, which is 35mm wide. And yes, there’s a noticeable difference in dial size.So in practice, both watches wear pretty similarly on my 17cm wrist.
The large Santos lives up to its name. It’s almost 40mm wide, so it’s much bigger than the medium size. But again, the lug-to-lug distance of 47.5mm isn’t the longest in the world. So this Santos looks like a big watch on my wrist, but it still curves nicely around it. There’s no overhang from these lugs whatsoever.
Large wouldn’t be the size I’d pick, but it looks manageable on my wrist. Again, that’s because of the short lugs and because the large Santos Replica Watches China is still well under 10mm thick. What also helps is the dark dial, which always makes a watch look smaller compared to a lighter-colored dial.
A nice surprise
In conclusion, the large Cartier Santos Replica models with the green and blue dials positively surprised me. The colors are not audacious and daring as the brand mentions in its press release. But that’s good because Cartier matched the colors perfectly with the Santos’s classy and sporty style.I also like that this version of the Santos has lumed hands, which means you can read the time in the dark. That’s something I struggle to do with my non-lumed Santos.
I still prefer my more classically styled Santos Galbée XL, and I’d go for the current medium size if I had to choose a new one. But I enjoyed the colorful dials much more than I thought I would. Replica Cartier Watches online with cheap price designers tried to do something new for the Santos with these colors, and they executed it perfectly. It shows me that I should avoid always choosing classic designs and perhaps choose a more daring option in the future.
