Click to expand... according to my research: Cartier Santos watches typically use swiss movements which have different hand sizes than Japanese Miyota 9015 movements. The pinion sizes are: Miyota 9015: Hour hand: 1.50 mm Minute hand: 0.90 mm Seconds hand: 0.25 mm Typical Swiss ETA or Cartier (approximate, varies by model): Hour hand: ~1.20 mm Minute hand: ~0.80 mm Seconds hand: ~0.20 mm These differences mean that genuine Cartier hands may either be too tight or too loose to fit the 9015 posts securely.
