I'm not usually one to "flip" watches. My collection, if you can call it that, is small and carefully curated, and there isn't much turnover. But I've broken with my usual habits and traded in the blue gradient dial Santos de Cartier toward the Santos de Cartier Chrono in SS with a black ADLC bezel after just a couple of months.
Why?
Partially due to a surfeit of blue dials, but also because of the horological interest of the "pseudo-monopusher" chrono activation and the superior mechanics of the 1904 MC-based movement over the 1847. (The last 1904-based movement I had exhibited chronometer-like performance, perhaps in part due to the twin spring barrels.)
