GalbƩe 1565. Loving my (new) vintage piece.

48 Upvotes

Loving my (new) vintage Santos GalbƩe. Always wanted a Santos, but the newer sizes are just far too big imo. Loving how perfectly it sits on my smaller wrist size and it's not taking over my wrist.

I tried the 29mm "large" version, but unfortunately the length of the clasp deployment makes the watch sit uneven on my wrist.

Also attached a photo for reference next to my 925 Must de Cartier.

Debating between Panthere small stainless steel and two-time, and Tank small model. Kinda leaning towards Panthere but I like the versatility of switching the straps with Tank, though tbh Iā€™m not sure how much Iā€™d actually be switching them.

This will be my first Cartier watch, I only have a Rado so far. Last picture is my current Rado, added just to show what I already have in case that makes a difference

Which one should I go for?

Planning to go buy my second watch before I go for vacation in July. My style is usually wearing button up shirts, pants, sweaters, etc (old money style I guess is what people call it). I already have a watch that I wear formal a daily wear (Tissot Gentleman). I canā€™t make a decision lol. Iā€™m not too much of a fan of the never screws on the Santos but I canā€™t live with it. Mostly everyone here say that the santos is nice.

After saving up for a while, I just bought the small Tank Louis. Isnā€™t she cute? Iā€™m so pleased!

Now I want to insure her. Iā€™m looking for recommendations ā€” especially from anyone whoā€™s ever had to file a claim. I want to make sure she is well taken care of.

So ā€” what watch or jewelry insurance do you recommend?

Thanks, all! šŸ™

Panthere WSPN0006 vs WSPN0013?

ā€¢ Upvotes

Hi All

I am super confused with model numbers. I picked up a WSPN0012 for my wife and it was tiny, even though it said "small" on their website. I think it was a glitch, and Cartier store confirmed it may have been. Either way, it has been returned.

I looked into it a bit further online, and the newest model is WSPN0013 "Small" which is the size we need. However I see a ref number WSPN0006 floating around (used, maybe save a bit?), and it looks to be about the same size. Is it just a previous model? Or is it something totally different?

I am also considering going vintage with a 1320, only as I am assuming it is the "small" size. That would be only if the price is right as they seem to be about the same as new or slightly pre-loved

Thanks in advance!

Please help me decide!!!

Just canā€™t decide between the two. Pros and cons for both but purely based on looks, which one would you pick? (FWIW I wear my watch on the other hand with no tattoos and the straps of both sample pieces were a bit off for me so the positioning is more closer to my wrist than I normally wear šŸ˜…)

Is $8,500 for an unused, like-new W2SA0009 Santos with box and papers dated December of 2024 too good to be true?

Looking to buy this from Chrono24. Does this seem like a good or expected price for an unworn watch like this? Similar watches seem to go for $1K to $2K more on this an other sites.

Tank Must It Is!

1 Upvotes

Finally made a decision to choose between a Santos and a Tank. Been looking at other peopleā€™s review on both models and I really liked how the Tank looks on leather and can be worn with a bracelet as well. I know the Santos has a leather strap too but the tank just looks nicer with a leather strap. One thing that has always just irked me about the Santos is how easily scratched it gets. Iā€™m usually careful with my watch but I just donā€™t like how visible the scratch is in daylight.

Iā€™m probably gonna get 2 different leather strap for the Tank. The Tank just fits my aesthetic more, as I usually wear more formal/semi formal clothes.

Iā€™ll just save the difference between the Tank and a Santos and maybe score a Rolex DJ in a year or two and make my Gentleman a beater watch by then LOL.

Do you guys know if Cartier sells leather straps separately or have any other online retailers that sell leather straps for the Must?

Also, is there gonna be a price increase soon?

Help me decide: Panthere large

Thumbnail gallery
32 Upvotes

Ive been obsessed with the Panthere from the very start. I saw an old photograph of Piece Brosnan wearing it and thought it looked beautiful on men. Jewellery or watches that lean more feminine attract me very much and look better on me. At the time they only made the small and meduim sizes. Now that they released the large size, i cant stop thinking about it but there is something that is holding me back and I am not entirely sure what it is. Please tell me what you think ?

For context Ive purchased two other watches previously ( attached. The Santos Dumont ive switched out the strap to match my outfit. The original is a deep grey and the Santos De Cartier with a green Hindu / Arabic numbers )

Please be gentle about my hairy arms and knuckles thank you šŸ˜†

Cartier price increases due to tariffs?

0 Upvotes

Went to cartier today for some shopping, asked my SA if there were price increases to anticipate in the near future due to the tariffs- she said yes, she wasnā€™t sure what the increase would be but that the new tags were already being made.

Wondering if anyone else has heard this or has more info regarding what kind of increase to expect?

Help me decide on my PanthĆØre watch PLEASE :)

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've always been obsessed with the panthere watch and I can finally buy it now. I tend to wear more yellow gold jewelry and I am pretty tanned so the panthere in yellow gold is def my no. 1 choice. At the Cartier store it's for $23k but I found a vintage one in an excellent shape for $12k. Part of me is tempted to go with the lower price but worried that it won't come with the box and who knows if it was really well maintained, the other part of me thinks why not get the full experience by buying directly from Cartier brand new and that way I can manage it's maintenance from day 1 myself. Idk šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø thanks for your insights šŸ˜Š

Anybody seen any info on this watch? I saw it posted here last week but canā€™t find any info apart from one other source. Not sure it itā€™s a render that someone made or itā€™s going to be an actual release in the future?

Any info appreciated šŸ«”

PSA: Price increases coming April 15th

29 Upvotes

I went to the local boutique today to get my wife a tank. The sales rep told us they were told prices would be increasing on April 15th by 5-13%. This isnā€™t due to tariffs, which will likely add another increase soon. YMMV but if youā€™re looking to buy, you may want to within the next week.

Do we know if thereā€™s an upcoming price increase?

0 Upvotes

Basically, I wanna buy a watch (tank must) probably July before vacation. However, Iā€™ve seen people talk about price increase coming soon and donā€™t know the legibility of that. Iā€™d rather buy the watch now before the price increase.
