Thought I'd mention I tried on a couple of Cartier Santos yesterday in Liverpool 1 Goldsmiths.
The very knowledgable rep there, Doireann, told me there is to be a 15% hike in Cartier prices at the end of this month. Apparently they are hoping their reputation in the jewellery world, coupled with an intensive promo push on the history of their watchmaking, might help them into the kind of "exclusive mindset" of Rolex buyers. I laughed but I think we all know these luxury brands think differently to us mere mortals.
She had rushed through the purchase of her dad's new Dumont in order to beat the increase.
Thought it worth mentioning in case anyone is on the fence. In the case of the large Santos that's a well over £1k hike.

Also tried the Zenith Chronomaster Sport. Looked lovely on the blue strap:
