Hi gents,

I recently discover the Cartier reps, and must admit the latest models seem to have everyone's agreement. I want to benefit the CNY to browse the Cartier area and need your help to sharpen my research.

I'm looking for a man model with its lady's counterpart, and according to the threads I read, the two most accurate reps are Ballon Bleu and Santos (right ?). But since the recent outage, I can't manage to collect more information about a "duo" watch.

For example Santos 100 :

Santos for him XL size is 41.5mm
"normal" size is 38mm
and santos for her also called midsize is 33mm

Amid the Santos, there's still differences : rubber bezel or SS, and the chrono which seems really big.

According to your knowledge/exprience what is :
-the best model : santos ? ballon bleu ? other ?
-the best combo ?

Thanks.

Santos 100 XL is 38... aka normal (Strap 23mm)
Santos 100 Lady is 33 (strap 21mm)

Santos Chrono, is bigger than XL... dont remember size but a little bit more


I have both, ladies and man size XL... go for it you wont regret it. Ah! and gen straps are a must!
