My brother got a very nice almost new cartier santos from ebay for $1500.00
I got a nice santos replica from hong kong, looks great, and works well for $150.00
I will have a real one soon, but for now, 90% of the people out there cannot tell its fake.
The Cartier with the automatic movement is a great watch. never needs batteries.
My father is a watch connesure (Wow bad spelling there) and has many watches. Out of every watch he has, and he has some beautiful antique wristwatches and pocket watches. He loves his cartier's the most. In fact he has 3 cartiers. a Santos he has had for like 20 years, a gold panther, and some other one that he got for way below retail when he was in hong kong. He priced the watch here in los angeles at well over $10k and he paid around 6k for his. I'm not sure what the others cost him, but I hardly ever see him without one of them on his wrist.
