Boom ! I knew this one would show up here.

I cashed this watch about 4 or 5 years ago, finally getting one on the wrist proved an anticlimax (unfortunately for me). It just wasn’t right on my wrist.
I still love it though.

What’s on your wish / Christmas list? Let’s hear about it.
By: Jay (Eire) : December 4th, 2020-15:59
Well, with Christmas around the corner it’s time for writing lists and making wishes (yes, I’m focusing on this aspect of the holiday for now). So with that in mind what’s on your wish list? If you were writing a letter to Santa Claus, Saint Nick, Father ...
I like it.👍

great piece

the green dial is awesome! Enjoy! Best, Andreas

I regret having sold my platinum Santos Dumont
By: sham1 : December 4th, 2020-17:15
two decades ago. Mine had a silver dial but was still so gorgeous and I loved the size. But my Christmas wish list this year would be to be allocated a Simp0licity! More than 10,000 applicants for 10 watches makes the probability of that happening less th...
Amazing dial...
By: Pun : December 4th, 2020-19:04
I wish to see it in person.
The Krayon is a great choice!
By: sham1 : December 4th, 2020-20:24
It would be a minor miracle to be chosen and then there is the million dollar question of whether one can afford to asking price!!
The classic Cartier is the epitome of elegance.
By: BigAppleBill : December 4th, 2020-22:58
The salmon dial takes it to the next level. I imagine it being worn on New Years Eve with a formal suit or tuxedo. As for finding something in my stocking, I’ve been fortunate enough this year that I’m not anticipating anything grand, just looking forward...
I also wish for a Cartier
By: northerner : December 4th, 2020-23:59
And I think my wish is very modest - I simply want Santa to swap my Monopoussoir XL for the regular version in yellow gold with a railroad minute track. Not asking that much, am I? photo by Antiquorum ...

Not limited.

I had it on my wrist one year ago and I know that sooner or later I’ll buy it. Have a nice weekend.
The Dumont was my first Cartier
By: th.gr.ga : December 5th, 2020-00:28
...even if I couldn't afford the platinum model. Intetestingly, it was Geo's pictures of exactly this limited edition that originally sparked my interest. The feel of the Dumont on the wrist with its ultra thin profile is simply something else. Since then...
I think you are absolutely correct in that assessment
By: th.gr.ga : December 5th, 2020-12:10
...even from the time I bought my first Cartier, the dumont, two years ago there seems to have been a significant appreciation in prices, also helped by the recent relaunches of several of the classic models. But the vintage Cartier is still surprisingly ...
Thats one beautiful Cartier with my fav dial color.
By: Watchonthewrists : December 5th, 2020-00:57
Although i have purchased a lot of amazing watches lately I always have a few on my wishlist. From a casio till a Greubel Forsey 😬. I hope that the watch I ordered a year ago will be ready soon . Thats my only wish for this Christmas 🙏🏻. (Will let you kno...
Haha, the long wait. I hope it can make it home for Christmas !
By: Jay (Eire) : December 5th, 2020-11:18
Like you, I too always have several on the watchlist. Something Cartier is one placeholder, the specific watch could be one of several. The original UN Freak is also there and of late I’ve been dreaming of adding a Lange back in to the lineup. My dirty li...
Indeed !

I was going to purchase a SS Santos on a bracelet this summer
By: Uncle Chico : December 5th, 2020-03:04
But for some reason, my better half talked me out of it. For me it is an elegant, timeless classic but my wife had reservations. I should probably ask her for a more detailed explanation. As far as a wish list, with all the recent postings of UN, the bran...
Yes, given the choice I will also pick the 047.
By: hoseachandra : December 5th, 2020-16:35
However, these are quite rare (its a limited edition many years ago), and the asking price is out of my budget for a GS. On the other hand, the warm, cream colored SBGW231 is also nice, albeit the all polished case is a bit too dressy.
My wish would be for a Rail . . .
By: Dr No : December 5th, 2020-19:09
. . . with a proper manual winding movement. And yes, I would buy one. This would've been perfect . . . . . . had Omega fitted a cal 8929 without the gold-finished bridges used in the Trésor. ...

By: Weems@8 : December 6th, 2020-16:37
Every collector must have at least 1 Cartier. Santa, give me a Santos 100XL.
Several Santossen
By: Weems@8 : December 7th, 2020-10:44
The main check box is, i want a 100XL. The big Santos. The two tone steel/gold with a white dial. Strap and bracelet are both including. A one tone steel. The basel full set with diamonds. There is also a nice two tone black. The blue dialed normal sized ...
That’s a great one, Jay.
By: ChristianDK : December 10th, 2020-13:49
I don’t know much about Cartier which is of course a lack on my part, since it is such a great and important company. My mother actually started making a small collection of them ten years ago. (I think I inspired her) You may possibly convince me that a ...
