Welcome to Jaztime.com.
Today we are going to be reviewing the
Cartier Santos Galbee,
W20056D6.
We're gonna go through
some pricing, the dial,
the bevel, the bracelet and the movement.
And then tell you where you can buy it
at Jaztie.com for the lowest price
anywhere online.
So let's start.
As of 2016, December,
the retail price on this is $4,600.
You can buy it at around 20% off of list
at Jaztime.com.
Or we also have used
ones for roughly $2,000
plus minus a few hundred.
Now moving on to the dial,
the first thing you'll notice is
that it's a sqaure dial.
This at the time was quite an invention.
Louis Cartier and Alberto Santos Dumont,
which was quite a famous
Brazilian aviator,
collaborted so that Dumont could have a
watch that could tell
time while he was flying.
And this is the idea
that they came up with.
So it's quite iconic and almost everybody
who sees this shape can
see that immediately
it's a Cartier Santos or
at least it's a Cartier.
The next is the bezel.
You notice the bezel here is high polish
and it has the screws
that are protruding through.
That's not very common.
I don't know of many
other watches other than
perhaps AP and Hublot that do this.
But they do it with a circular bezel
and Cartier does it with a square bezel.
So it's very unique.
And moving on to the bracelet.
You'll notice here that the bracelet
is stainless steel but what do you notice
about the screws.
The screws are high
polish where the bracelet
is brush polish which
makes it very difficult
to polish if you end up
scratching this watch.
Now let's look at the buckle.
Now the buckle here is a deployment.
A double-deployment meaning
that there's two sides to it.
So this is how it looks
when it's fully closed.
And if you wanna open one side,
you simply pop like that,
pop the other side and
the bracelet comes open.
Now the movement is a quartz movement
meaning it runs on battery.
And you might be wondering why you put
a battery run in such an expensive watch.
And partly that's because
this is a women's watch
and women don't always wear their watches
everyday so if they have
a quart-running watch,
anytime they pick it up it will always be
telling the correct time.
Unless, of course, it's
been a couple years
and the battery run out.
So at any rate, to recap,
this watch you can purchase at Jaztime.com
used around $2,000 or brand new around
20% off of list.
It retails for $4,600.
