When I bought the watch I was told it was a Jaeger movement but I'm a bit dubious about that.  I think I'll have to do some research and get back to you.   Back to top GJ Old hand Status: Joined: 06 Dec 2007 Posts: 388 Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 12:30 pm    Post subject: Getting currious here...     _________________ Back to top uncle aj Keeper of lost marbles Status: Adrian Favourite Watch: TT GMT Ceramic Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 5015 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 2:44 pm    Post subject: GJ wrote: Getting currious here...     So far all I can get is sites selling watches and anything close to it is classed as "Cartier Automatic Movement".  Someone somewhere will know the answer so I'll keep looking.     Back to top GJ Old hand Status: Joined: 06 Dec 2007 Posts: 388 Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 2:49 pm    Post subject: Wondering if there is a modified ETA inside... _________________ Back to top uncle aj Keeper of lost marbles Status: Adrian Favourite Watch: TT GMT Ceramic Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 5015 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 2:51 pm    Post subject: GJ wrote: Wondering if there is a modified ETA inside... Some of the later models were certainly modified ETA, mine was one of the originals so who knows.   Back to top Tools Keeper of lost marbles Status: Larry Favourite Watch: GMT Joined: 30 Aug 2007 Posts: 2567 Location: The Desert Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 4:55 pm    Post subject: Nice... _________________ ...............

Hey Adrian, that's a very nice TT Santos. My wife was looking over my shoulder at it said she thought it was real class and would like one herself just like that one. I've seen newer versions of this model with a quartz movement which she says she prefers to the self-wind and likes the full size model just like yours. Can you tell me the dimensions of the case please? _________________ Steve #3 Back to top uncle aj Keeper of lost marbles Status: Adrian Favourite Watch: TT GMT Ceramic Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 5015 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 5:29 am    Post subject: Re: Cartier Santos Tardis wrote: uncle aj wrote: I bought this Santos around 1979.  At the time I'd just sold a Moto Guzzi Le Mans motorbike and had some spare cash.  It's got a nice automatic movement and goes well under a dress shirt.  I wore it last night when we got dressed up for the 18th birthday party of sandhappy's deldest daughter Callie (pronunced Kally).  I'd promised to post pictures a few weeks ago and never got round to it so here's a quick wrist shot.

Steve I'm at work at the moment so I can't give you the dimentions yet.  My wife has the ladies version in a round case.  In my opinion it looks better on a lady than the rectangular model.  I'll have to post pictures when I get the chance.   Back to top Tardis Old hand Status: Joined: 07 Aug 2007 Posts: 263 Location: Queensland, Australia Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:35 pm    Post subject: No she is adamant that the rectangular model would suit her better. She already has a round case Seiko Ti which looks ridiculously small. 12mm case! She has a gents size rectangular Bulova which I bought her 18 months ago. She really likes it, but your Cartier with it's TT bracelet smiled at her the most! _________________ Steve #3 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Other brands All times are GMT Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Announcement----------------Forum AnnouncementsRants and Raves Watches----------------RolexOmegaPaneraiBreitlingOther brandsGeneral Watch topicsWatch photosFor sale and wanted Wildlife----------------Bird lifeBird photosGeneral wildlifeWildlife photosThe natural world General----------------General discussionsFamily & Family PicturesThe doughnut shopNew membersHow to do itSuggestions and complaints Photography----------------Photography in generalPhotoshop  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group -- Template created by dav.bo=> GreyStylus --
