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.

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 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.  |

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!

Mine's a bit bigger than 12mm, it's 29mm. Brenda's is 24mm.
