Reached out to Li on WhatsApp, checked that he had model in stock, placed an order after confirming shipping... 4PX is what he uses for UK.
Card payment wouldn’t go through, kept rejecting and so Li said Transferwise is the next best option... Paid and confirmed.
Was told QC will take 5-7 days, so waiting on that.. will update more when I get it.

looking forward to seeing this in person... looks like a lovely piece.

Overall looks pretty great for it cost me.. Strap definitely gives it away, I doubt the gen is this bad lol.. But yeah can't complain for the money. Any ideas on decent replacement straps for Santos?

Looks very very nice - enjoy.

No cartiers myself unfortunately, but I'd say ya cant go wrong having a look in the Cartier sub forum?

Or Member2Member sales in case anyone is selling straps.

Best of luck

Thanks, apparently the steel is a better fit but leather ones are a bit wobbly.. will try and get the steel even though I most likely will wear the leather.

 

[P..DR..D]

I have both steel and leather for alot of my watches, constantly swapping.

Oh, and NATO, but dont think it'd suit your Cartier, but ya never know.

Steel is great day to day, leather for fancy occasions, leather brings out the dial, contrast of metal v leather, compared to continuous steel if ya get me.

I find the leather smells in time (depending on exertion of course), and the steel usually scuffs if desk wear etc (but can be polished out with Cape code) so all depends on use & personal preference.

If it were me, price dependant of course, I'd buy both, save on shipping

Best of luck & curious about what both look like on the wrist.
