I own both. What I like about the Cartier is that it is relatively ‘unique’ in the wild. It seems that everyone who gets their first bonus check runs out and gets a Sub (when they were available).

I have the Sub and Santos medium, and the Cartier has completely changed my world. The bracelet, the fit, the elegance, it’s just miles ahead of Rolex. Forget Omega, Cartier is the biggest threat to Rolex. The Santos is truly a one watch collection.

@@wristroll_vlad I hear that a lot, but mine has not scratched more than usual. But I use it more at the office, it’s not a beater by any means. There is plenty of space for the Sub as well, but man did Cartier do a great job with this Santos.

I happen to own both, both great watches. They are very complimentary, the Submariner is a versatile, rugged and extremely masculine. The Santos is also tough enough to use as a daily/sports watch. But the Santos is a bit more versatile. With the quick switch system swapping almost instantly to an alligator is effortless, and now you have an elegant dress watch suitable enough to wear to black tie events. The 2 cons for the Santos are, 1 no screw down crown and obviously the scratch magnet polished bezel. I know the Santos is rated at 100m of water resistance, but I am paranoid the crown might be pulled opened accidentally while swimming etc. But, that's why I have the Submariner! I found that using a polishing cloth as needed, easily maintains the bezel looking in mint condition. Scouring through ebay, I found a vendor selling used OEM Santos bezels in great condition for $45 a pop. I bought 2 as backup, and my jewler will swap the bezel out and pressure test the watch for $65. A great bezel insurance policy for my Santos, that I won't probably need. But, now I can wear my Santos worry free. I hope my experience and comments helped someone on the fence make a decision. Wear the watches you love in good health.

Hey buddy, I was the viewer that requested this comparison so thanks for doing this. Can’t remember if I said it but the reason why I think it’s a worthwhile comparison is because these are arguably the most iconic watches of each brand, and one is the first pilots watch and the other is the first (or second) dive watch. I have the santos medium and a yacht master blue dial, both with bezels I’m paranoid about scratching and I try to avoid wearing long sleeves too with either of them. Cool collection you have by the way 👍🏼

I have the Santos and a Rolex GMT "batman" with the blue/black bezel. For some reason I find myself wearing the Santos more. It's...fun. I also have three Panerai (111, Radiomir, Submersible) that I really enjoy wearing. But the Santos is the most versatile and comfortable, especially with the black rubber strap.

check out the WSSA0047 - the primary complain of the bezel for the cartier santos being a “scratch magnet” gets addressed - plus comes with an awesome rubber strap rather than the more formal leather - the watch is ready to rock at the swimming pool or where ever… One more thing that is totally unpalatable with Rolex ADs is NOT the fact that they do not sell their stock and you got to play their games (which is total BS in itself) but they comfortably LIE TO YOUR FACE…. and that is to me the worst kind of insult to an honest man’s money…. So I rock a Cartier Santos CRWSSA0047 and the ROLEX AD can take it up where he deserves one ….

Hi Tony, thank you for the review. I currently own a Submariner Date 41mm black dial and am seriously considering the Cartier Santos Blue dial Large. Are you able to please provide me feedback on the wearability, comfort of the Santos vs Submariner. Ie. weight, thickness etc? Also that the Submariner has the glide lock which I use almost daily when my wrist expands. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I don’t own a sub, but own a 39mm Explorer, Seamaster professional 300m, Breguet XX Transatlantique, Breitling Chrono Colt, Tag Aquaracer among many others and the Santos de Cartier large is by far my favorite. It’s very thin, super comfortable and even though it doesn’t have a micro adjuster it has the best quick strap release of any watch I have seen and you can size it and remove the links with your fingernail. I own the white but the blue is a bit more sporty with applied Romans and lume on the hands. I also get more compliments in this watch than anything I own, even more than my gold Bucherer or my Rolex. I highly recommend this watch as it can be used both casual and with a suit. You can’t go wrong.
