Hey guys,




Just pulled the trigger on a Cartier GF Santos 2018 XL and really would appreciate your help.




The first thing I was wondering about is the datewheel. On the first pic the 25 looks misaligned while the 13 on another pic sits perfectly fine in the middle. In the vid the 25 also looks pretty centered though. does the Date flips over or does it go slow from date to date (hope you know what I mean). This at least explain why it’s misaligned on some pics and on some not.




In the little vid he sent me I saw that that a little screw one on of the links of the bracelet isn’t locked. I read here that some guys had problems with them so I was wondering if this might be broken. what you guys think?




I already contacted Eric because there is a hair on the dial (or hopefully only on the crystal) and some kind of dirt on the end of the second hand. Also I asked if he could measure the thickness of the watch for me.

also the extra leather strap looks pretty damaged. would you ask him for a new one or is this only possible if I would RL the whole watch? I heard these straps are pretty low tier anyways and I was thinking about ordering some from ZicZac. Not sure yet though.




Would really appreciate your help.

I talked to Eric and we decided that it’s better to get a new watch from factory.

so I will post an update as soon as I got the new QC pics.
