Cartier Santos dealer

[deeptone]

Hi,

I want to purchase a Cartier Santos rep for my father for Christmas and I've narrowed choices down to the following :

I've read that many dealers get their watches from the same factories so I'm not sure if the price disparity between these 3 watches exists for a reason or not.

If anyone has experience with the dealers/watch and could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Also, if a better (watch quality/dealer) option exists I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks

Good question. The most NB parts of these reps is the cabachon colour which is either too dark or too light and the spacing between the 10 and 11. Think I might pick up one of those 38mm's over the ballon bleu.
