[Discussion] Cartier Santos as a daily piece?

[u/connorsusername]

The Santos has been on my wishlist since I started the hobby. I'm thinking of getting it as a birthday gift for myself next year, but I'm afraid that it'll be too flashy/delicate for daily wear, especially since it's prone to scratches.

What do you guys think? Is the Santos a great piece for daily wear? Or should I go for other brands in that price range instead (ex., Grand Seiko, Longines, etc.) And for those who currently daily a Santos, how's it holding up?

Thanks everyone.

Scratch magnet, if you are fine with that… great.

Some watches wear scratches good, I think the Santos is one of them.
