At this point, I realized I didn’t have a modern-ish watch with a more-or-less integrated bracelet, so I decided I needed one of those. Swiss made replica Cartier Santos it is. The sharp lines and square shape of the original 1:1 fake Cartier Santos ref. 2960 is a favorite of mine, and since I’ve got the cash, I’m splurging for a rarer example with a ruby-red dial:

It’s thought these examples, with the deep red lacquer dial and matching ruby cabachon, were produced to celebrate the Santos’ 75th anniversary in 1979. And this perfect fake Cartier Santos is my second UK AAA super clone Cartier, so I guess you can call me a “Cartier collector” now? Cost: $8,000. Remaining: $2,000
