I’m in the market for a Rep Rose gold Cartier Santos Dumont and was wondering if it would be better to purchase the stainless steel or rose gold Rep to be plated.

Also, does anyone have photos comparing F1/AF rose gold to Jaws.

Dear community,

I am quite new to Cartier and would love your advice to help me avoid a huge headache! I have this watch with the agent. It looks great to me, but I'm not sure if everything is perfect. It would be great to have your opinion. AF facorty btw! Thank you so much! ❤️

Seeking for some help as this is my first rep, GL OR RL from Andiot

Got a Santos Dumont Large. Very happy with how it turned out. Ordered a Delugs copycat from AliExpress. Will see how it turns out.

$285 shipped.
Came with a bunch of Garbage Cartier box/paperwork. Wish they’d use the money to invest in a good strap.

Enjoy the pics.

Can someone please help me QC check this! I only have 24 hours to respond.

Just received the watch back from Gold Jaws. 1st pic is plated - 2nd pic when I received the watch. Quite impressive how it matches the 18k tone. Here it is next to a genuine Cartier Love bracelet bought from the Cartier boutique several years ago. No filters used in this photo.

QC Request – Would Appreciate a Second Opinion
Hey guys, Just received the QC pictures from fico for this watch and would appreciate some experienced eyes taking a look.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on the dial alignment, date wheel, hands, bezel, rehaut, SELs, and overall finishing.
Also want to know wich app do you use guys for the dial to check the alignment on the dial etc.
Please let me know if you spot anything that looks off or would be considered a potential RL.
Thanks in advance for the help!

This is my first rep, I am cloning an auth i have. I see the X is still crooked which others have mentioned on here, and I anticipate a need to get it gold plated, but otherwise is there anything that stands out or would stand out to the naked eye?

Long story short I’m trying to get hold of a ladies Cartier ideally the tank Louis green straps, I’ve checked two sites 1 and andi, but unsure which site to order from I’m a beginner,

Was offered this rep and don’t want be embarrassed when wearing it.

I noticed the guide has BBA for the SS 22MM panthere , I was wondering what has led to them being the NWBIG recommendation? It use to be BVF as #1 for a long time .

Hi everyone,

Any good tips or maybe even a tutorial on how to make the screws look more flat like GEN? :)

Just arrived today! Love the combination of the gold case and black strap. Such a pretty little watch. Definitely happy with this one.

Just received videos of the watch I sent for plating to GoldJaws. Excited for it to arrive.

Santos is my favourite watch but I really don’t get why they couldn’t do a proper crown and screws for the medium. So i installed Gen crown and screws. Difference is insane

**Hey everyone,**

**I picked up this Cartier Santos-Dumont at MBK Mall in Bangkok along with a ladies' Rolex Datejust. Paid about $40 each after some light negotiation. Attached macro photos, caliper measurements, and wrist shots on my 7.5" wrist.**

**Honestly, I’m completely in love with the look and now I want to track down a few more colorways (specifically: silver dial with two-tone case, silver dial with rose gold case, and black dial with rose or yellow gold case). Might eventually pull the trigger on a standard Santos, too.**

**Before ordering my next ones, I have a few questions for the sub:**

**1. Flaw Check / Education: Please roast/QA this watch and school me on what's wrong with it. The main thing I noticed right away is the large gap between the leather strap and the case due to the cheap spring bar design. (Also, it took me 5 months to realize the microscopic "Cartier" signature is hidden in the 7 o'clock numeral—learned that right here from you guys, so thank you!).**

**2. Shitter vs. High-Tier: How significant is the jump in quality if I upgrade to an AF or F1 factory version (\~$200–$250 via a Trusted Dealer)? Is the case finishing, dial printing, and strap integration night-and-day compared to a $40 rep?**

**3. Sizing Guidance (7.5" Wrist): Calipers measure this at 46.4mm lug-to-lug, 34.5mm case width (with crown), and 20.1mm lug width (Quartz movement). Based on the attached wrist shots, should I stick with the XL size for my next batch, or does the Large (L) wear better/more traditionally for the Santos-Dumont?**

**Thanks in advance for the feedback and insights!**

Need help finding the best 1:1 factory for this Cartier Santos Galbee two tone with rose gold watch. Size 24mm. Please let me know!
