We don’t usually buy gifts for each other this time of year, but my lovely wife has always wanted a Cartier with diamonds. She has a smaller Tank Francaise from @ 15 years ago and always second-guessed why she didn’t get the diamond bezel model (The easy answer? We couldn’t afford it at the time obviously LOL). So, we tried on a lot of watches and went with the Santos. I absolutely love them both. I thought I’d end up with the blue face but the white just hit me in a classic sort of way and I have an older Omega Seamaster with the blue face. We are both excited!
