Which do you prefer?

The Santos 100 in Chrono or Non-Chrono? And Why?

I want the black leather strap showing on the non--chrono
It will be for office wear as well as casual wear:

Well, if I really need to choose between the two, I'd say the non-chrono. But not for me, an additional watch for the wife.

Chrono is very big, more expensive and might also require an expensive service in the near future. I also find it too busy for an elegant watch.

i didnt know the chrono would be bigger,

my wrists are tiny - 6.1"
So i may have to avoid the chrono santos,

plus i always found the non-chrono more classy/stylish

- i am going for a quartz by the way

Get the non-Chrono for sure. Don't get the quartz.

I have the non chrono. Classy and casual. Selita sw200-1 movement. Ultra reliable and ultra gen like feel. A true super rep.

Lovely watches if you ask me, I prefer the non-chrono version more though.

I've got the "best of both" solution..>>

I've got the non chrono in the XXL size....
And the fact that it has a cheap Asian 21j movement and only cost me $70.00 makes me smile!!

I don't really "love" the overall Cartier "look", but at that price, I don't mind having it on my shelf....:maty:

Thanks for the replies,

How much was your SW200-1 mianos?

That XXL would be wayyy too big on my 6" wrists Frankt, looks good though,

but aren't you losing time often as its 21J?
How often do you reset the time? do you wear it every day?
where did you buy that santos from? it looks a great quality rep for a 21J!

I have and I ilke more the non Chrono
It is one of the best replicas in the market, Leaving aside the strap (but this is the same in chrono version)
Moreover it is more accurate.
See the marker IIII in the chrono version in comparison with the gen.
Do you realize the difference?

Pretty homogeneous votes: I'd go for the non-chrono too. The watch looks like it's not made for the chrono...
