Really chuffed with this one!
Postie just delivered me this one. Cartier Santos De Cartier, Its from 2023, Its the "large" size, but I think it wears really well (photos always make them look bigger on the wrist I find). I previously had a Santos XL, that was on the strap though, I found that to wear larger than this model..It also comes with a nice leather strap, plus it has a really simple bracelet adjusting system...very comfortable on the wrist too.
A couple of (not very good!) pics.

I really should stay off the Internet! However, finding one of the best looking GS's ever (if not the best!) at 37 percent off, AND with interest free credit was too much to pass on. Been on my "bucket list" ever since I got in to watches. Chuffed would be an understatement!

I picked up this Steinhart this week, very happy with it. Off to the States for a bit of traveling next month so a GMT was fancied. Obviously has the Batman influence but in this instance Steinhart have done their own take rather than a 1:1 type homage.
It’s 39mm, printed dial with excellent lume, date is at 6, nice sporty inner chapter ring, legible ‘fence post’ hands and the ceramic bezel is very well done being lumed and engraved. 500m WR which is about 490m more than I need but still, nice to have! I’m getting +1 second a day timekeeping wise which is surprising and pleasing in equal measure as I don’t believe they regulate their movements (ETA Elabore grade GMT I believe).
What could be better? Well I think it’s time they improved their clasps. Bracelet is very good but clasp is pretty basic, no frills. As it’s their premium range a glide lock of some sort would be nice. After buying I found out this model was discontinued last year and has been replaced with a titanium version.

Thank you its from Watch gecko,there now seems to be a more expensive variant that maybe better.
I have so many straps its gone a bit ridiculous, I only found it and a black one by chance when looking for something else.

Gorgeous. One of my biggest watch regrets was when I saw a LE version of this with a deep green dial (years ago - well before green was cool), in Selfridges. Went away for maybe 45 mins to have a coffee and mull over the purchase and when I came back having decided to go for it it was sold. Gutted.
If anyone spots an SBGE021 on their travels please let me know!

Congrats Wileey.
Great watch and looks superb on you.
Second Christopher ward arrival, removed previous DNA, Refurbished the bracelet & it look's like brand new.

Yeah, that one. AD isn’t calling me for anything recently.
Hour hand not the most legible but I’ll give it time and see where I land.
Special maybe but think the BLNR might look better side by side.

My wrist is about 17cm and it wears fine, mainly because it’s not so long lug to lug.
The bracelet is very comfortable too.
All in all, for the price, I blown away with it. The quality is absolutely fantastic.
Aesthetically, I think it hits the mark too.
The timer is very easy to use and, you just have to remember that the buttons are reversed from the usual chronograph set up.
I Owned one a few years ago but it had one flaw, the crowns don't screw down [emoji17] it's a let down as it's easy to move the internal bezel if it's touched accidentally.
I bought this because I've always regretted selling mine for such a trivial reason.
This one's staying.

You’d be surprised. Last year was stupid and I reduced a lot. This year I’ve reduced again a bit but will likely reduce further. Because I’m such a sad act here’s 2022

I had no idea people kept a record of what watch they wore and how often.
Psychopaths.
