Okay okay ALRIGHT! I will go get this beauty next week... I've been stalking it for months now and have rewatched your video on it at least 10 times. I think it's time.
@@TheTownWatch Forget next week... I just ordered it!! And congratulations again on your beautiful experience in owning yours! I watched both of your videos on the day you received the watch and the one you retold the whole story! I teared up a bit. You're a good man who totally deserves it!!
NOW I know why peopled put such effort into these awesome videos: Early access to custom Cartier straps. Thanks for the quick take. Been watching these in dev for months.
I pulled the trigger on a santos medium this morning after months of watching your video again and again. This video just solidified my choice for my first luxury watch:) thanks you!
I literally posted on a watch Facebook group asking if my next watch should be a Reverso or a Santos, and I shared how my mind is leaning more towards the Santos due to its additional strap and awesome quick-change system. This video dropped at the right time and yes, I am going to blame and love you for it.
I ordered a Delugs alligator strap a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Excellent quality and excellent customer service. And about the Santos… looking forward to buy one next year! Great content btw
Just the video I needed to see this morning! Picking up my Santos Medium from the AD tomorrow and I’m so excited! Love your content man, keep up the good work sir 🙌🏼
Just bought the the best watch in the world Cartier Santos Large Two Tone. It’s a stunning piece can’t wait to get some different color straps to go with this amazing timepiece.
I thought I could resist the Santos. Nope. So it's my next watch. My bank account says "Damn you Evan". That said, this is THE best watch channel, period, for its wit, wisdom and style. Really enjoying all your vids.
Do you recommend the rubber backing? Is it comfortable? About to order a chèvre strap and was debating the rubber backing. I love rubber straps but that rubber backing looks pretty cheap. Is the normal backing on the chèvre strap nice? Thanks!
Dude wtf. I’m watching this video on my phone all excited, I hit the description button to get the link and baam ….. they go on sale on the 18th. Damn you!!! I was literally about to order.
I saw the pictures on the site but couldn't find anything for the Santos, only the Dumont. The alcantara looks great! Really tempted now. Thanks for letting us know
Question: it looks like you chose the beige leather strap (OEM) for yours. I’m about to order a Santos and one can also opt for a brown. Between the two, do you have a recommendation? Basically, do you like the original strap shade or do you sometimes wish it was a bit darker? TIA! And I really enjoy your videos!
What’s been your most comfortable watch you’ve tried on? I went to purchase a Grand Seiko or Omega the other day and got completely thrown in the other direction by the Santos. After watching your videos was thinking you might say Santos or the IWC Mark 18. Great show. Thanks!
Thinking to the future - say you were to hand down your Santos to a grandchild, do you think there could be an issue finding replacement straps/bracelets at that time due to the unique system? In 50 years, who knows if Cartier will even be making the bracelets for this particular model anymore...
For that price, they should have a deployant clasp to add longevity to what is a pretty expensive leather strap. For $300, I can't see it being much better than the genuine Cartier straps other than the variety.
@@NeL-1 so, I've done some additional research and I think it might be a decent value. Mainly because the majority of the Delugs straps are $200 and because the OEM straps from Cartier are very imited in colorways and 2x the price. Still think they should come with a deployant at that price.
You did manage to make me laugh and enjoy a 3min vid about straps for a watch I do not own. I ended up tired of watch channels in general, you are the very last with notifications turned on. Not that it has a particular significance whatsoever but still...
@@YoureTerrific I don't want to know, plausible deniability in action. So I will leave notifications on, I don't want to miss on that kind of entertainment.
Good video matey. I looked at their web site this morning over a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit (I'm British you see) and was impressed but confused. They seem to over work the copy and the offer wasn't that simple to work out. Too much choice and not enough clarity. I am an advertising man of many decades and I know that often companies know everything about their own product but forget that the punter doesn't. I do like the Santos very much but would buy the earlier version but that is now an issue for me because the other day I found the limited edition Bell & Ross BR05 Holorum, which is similar to a Santos and am struggling to make a decision. What say you Mr Terrific?
mate, ordered one week ago. watches a million video of you. its on the way waiting for friend to arrive with the watch. santos white and solo. cheers. will share pic soon.
Very cool...☺ Too many OEMs are loosing a/the chance to make their watches even more popular, by not providing additional straps. But at least, good for the aftermarket guys.
Dude one suggestion that might work out well for you. Review women's watches as well in your style. I was looking for a watch for my missus and I realised that not one women on youtube can review a watch without showing themselves full body or telling their life story or what outfits the watch looks good with. I think some women would appreciate just a simple close up review style like yours
The proprietary system is all fun and beautiful and different from the others, etc....until you want to change the strap. Makes no sense imo and of course brands like Delugs will take advantage and charge over 200 for a strap (and with those buckles, come on!). There's no need to reinvent the wheel.
Okay okay ALRIGHT! I will go get this beauty next week... I've been stalking it for months now and have rewatched your video on it at least 10 times. I think it's time.
Godspeed
Do it!!! I love mine!!!

Ditto my man. Ditto. But my AD doesn’t have any in stock!! Hopefully it’ll come soon :):) best of luck!
@@Th3MostWond3rfulTim3OfTh3Y3ar Thanks my friend! I know you're going to really enjoy yours!!!
This was everything I needed in my life!!! I’m so glad Delugs made these!

Great choice
Congrats! I'm loving mine!
Finally!!!! Been waiting for this for 1 year

This video dropped at the right time and yes, I am going to blame and love you for it.
I picked up a medium santos a week and a half ago, so this is perfect timing for me! Those straps look very good
I’m exactly the same got mine today 😊
Nice!!! LOVE that these are available out there. Thanks for posting.
I ordered a Delugs alligator strap a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Excellent quality and excellent customer service.
And about the Santos… looking forward to buy one next year!
Great content btw
are you using it with the standard buckle or the cartier clasp?
Just the video I needed to see this morning! Picking up my Santos Medium from the AD tomorrow and I’m so excited!
Love your content man, keep up the good work sir 🙌🏼
Those straps look gorgeous! good job, Delugs!
Just bought the the best watch in the world Cartier Santos Large Two Tone. It’s a stunning piece can’t wait to get some different color straps to go with this amazing timepiece.
I bought the medium two tone Santos de Cartier about two weeks ago & I love it! It is my very first luxury watch.
Yeah you're pretty daring with colours, I remember your first review of this watch and it made me realise it is one watch I must get !
I think you helped me choose my graduation watch. Love your channel
Great choice. The watch and my channel.
Ok, fine. The Santos is now on the list after the XL Tank Must.
Great video, as always!
I thought I could resist the Santos. Nope. So it's my next watch. My bank account says "Damn you Evan". That said, this is THE best watch channel, period, for its wit, wisdom and style. Really enjoying all your vids.
Thanks so much. And congrats on the future purchase. I’ll wait by my mailbox for Cartier to send me my cut. Been waiting a while now.
@@YoureTerrific You're welcome. But I'm not so sure they hand out rewards for feeding addiction :)
I love that watch, if I hadn't ordered a DJ it would already be on my wrist. I have a feeling it'll be waitlisted eventually, people are catching on.
Beautiful straps for your beautiful Santos!!
Would a video comparing the Santos vs the Santos Dumont be a good idea? Because of you I'be got the Santos Dumont and love it :)
thank you sharing this!! Just heads up yes I did pick up Santos after seeing you wearing it and no regrets!!
Heck yeah!
The Yellow and the Tiffany are gorgeous!
Just received my DeLugs strap for my large 50/50 DLC Santos, went with Tiffany blue and it's beautiful. Great color combo and fit/finish.
hurry up and get another one, theyre discontinuing santos straps.
Glad to be a part of the niche audience this is for. I'M SO EXCITED.
Nice straps! What are the specs of the grey alcantara?
Delugs to the rescue! I love their stuff. That dark grey with the light stitching is calling my name...
Good choice
i love my santos but have yet to use the accompanying strap. but the DeLugs seem more compelling. in other words, a must have. thanks for the video.
Do you recommend the rubber backing? Is it comfortable? About to order a chèvre strap and was debating the rubber backing. I love rubber straps but that rubber backing looks pretty cheap. Is the normal backing on the chèvre strap nice? Thanks!
oh wow that light blue strap 🤌
What a beauty. I do like the dumont 1575 looks a bit more since more pure classic, but still nice
Dude wtf. I’m watching this video on my phone all excited, I hit the description button to get the link and baam ….. they go on sale on the 18th. Damn you!!! I was literally about to order.
Blame Delugs. He should open orders sooner!
I saw the pictures on the site but couldn't find anything for the Santos, only the Dumont. The alcantara looks great! Really tempted now. Thanks for letting us know
@Delugs Straps are the santos straps going to be custom only? the blog is confusing
Perfect, time to rekindle with the Santos
Question: it looks like you chose the beige leather strap (OEM) for yours. I’m about to order a Santos and one can also opt for a brown. Between the two, do you have a recommendation? Basically, do you like the original strap shade or do you sometimes wish it was a bit darker? TIA! And I really enjoy your videos!
I love the color I chose.
@@YoureTerrific Thanks so much for your advice!
What’s been your most comfortable watch you’ve tried on? I went to purchase a Grand Seiko or Omega the other day and got completely thrown in the other direction by the Santos. After watching your videos was thinking you might say Santos or the IWC Mark 18. Great show. Thanks!
G-Shock! But as for luxury watches, probably the 36mm Explorer.
What is the size for the strap for the Cartier santos medium?
Do their straps work with the OEM Cartier deployment clasp?
Look great! I hope to get one of these at some point! They are pricey though! Going to hurt a little!
seems Cartier/Richmont's lawyers got to Delugs and they no longer offer this. Shame. Really want a rubber strap for my santos medium
it's available online too
Delugs is phenomenal! I have like 6 of their straps. Can’t recommend them enough
👍
I have a grand seiko sgbw231. Hopefully they do something for that too
I bought one strap and the quick release broke within six months and they won’t get back to me. Careful
Hey Andrew, thank you for sharing I had a question about if strap comes with the attachment mechanism to the watch or not ?
@@hamzahramahi6995 yes sir comes with quick release spring bars
Do you think it will fit to 2023 medium yellow bezel santos de cartier?
Dammit now I need to go buy the Santos I've been eye balling for 2 years
This is excellent. Thanks you.
If this isn't a partnered/sponsored vid, how did you get so many Delug straps before they're even available to the public?
Next week my AD brings a medium for me to try on and buy. I should blame you and the lugs because of this… and now this video, right on time
👏👏👏
Great video!
Ok it’s done, I’m getting one ! Santos medium with the light blue strap :) big thanks for robbing my bank account again 😂
😈
Not listed on their site yet for the Santos de Cartier just the Dumont. Hope they list them soon.
@Delugs Straps I shall. Thanks for the tip!
Lovely!
Apparntly Delugs will stop or has stopped selling these. They will not say why but I suspect it may have something to do with a Cartier legal team.
Anyway to get a blue rubber strap?
Just got my Santos medium. Now I got to save up for straps. What are you doing to me. Is there a rubber option?
Not yet. But I’m hoping for one.
Try dr watch strap
Thinking to the future - say you were to hand down your Santos to a grandchild, do you think there could be an issue finding replacement straps/bracelets at that time due to the unique system? In 50 years, who knows if Cartier will even be making the bracelets for this particular model anymore...
That's what China is for
@@hulkingmass so you're going to buy a $8,000 watch and put a $10 Chinese strap on it? No thanks
Dr watch strap sells them too
Can not find the one fit for Santos on their website. which one you got?
@Delugs Straps Thank you, will do.
Interesting, thanks
I’m so ready to join the Cartier cult
We’re calling to you.
For that price, they should have a deployant clasp to add longevity to what is a pretty expensive leather strap.
For $300, I can't see it being much better than the genuine Cartier straps other than the variety.
They are actually working on designing their own deployant clasp atm! There are some available at the moment but those are sourced from somewhere else
I agree with Sao. Too much trouble to order and very expensive. I rather go with the Genuine. 🤨
@@NeL-1 so, I've done some additional research and I think it might be a decent value. Mainly because the majority of the Delugs straps are $200 and because the OEM straps from Cartier are very imited in colorways and 2x the price.

@@saodavi6267 Agree with you 100%. 👍
Thanks a lot! For real AND sarcastically!
I’ll take both
I've got a Delugs strap for my Max Bill, it's great!
Awesome
the blue one is realllyyy nice. put that on and your girlfriend/wife gonna be stealing that on the reg.
Shhh

How about a Rubber strap, because some like me will go swimming with it lolololol thanks great video too
Nice!
seriously delugs straps for the santos make me overthink my next watch purchase!! Santos is now in the top 3...
👍
I’m from singapore and am thankful and upset that delugs is based here. I get my straps real quick but I also can’t stop buying straps from them.
Haha. The struggle is real.
Do you know if anyone makes a steel bracelet for the extra large chrono
No, I don’t.
Good video matey. I looked at their web site this morning over a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit (I'm British you see) and was impressed but confused.

Not that my opinion matters but Santos all the way in case you were to tally the votes up.
mate, ordered one week ago. watches a million video of you. its on the way waiting for friend to arrive with the watch. santos white and solo. cheers. will share pic soon.
Delugs make nice stuff 👍🏼
It is a shame you sold yours - they look great!
"Delugs"
Really? That's brilliant.
Why switch the steel bracelet at all?
I rarely do
Blue strap 🔥
Yeah
Do they offer rubber straps? Anyone know? Is it disguised in a fancy name? Website needs a good UI update
No rubber yet, I think.
I just use curved spring bars to replace the straps with my Santos. No need to spend hundreds.
Very cool...☺
Too many OEMs are loosing a/the chance to make their watches even more popular, by not providing additional straps. But at least, good for the aftermarket guys.
Cartier does have some good options.
the intro music is very bass heavy

Have a few Delugs products. Pretty great quality, but their pricing is a bit high.
Agreed
Ugh, another variable to add to the dilemma of vintage vs modern Santos lol first world problems
For real
Medium is too small for you lol
Plausible deniability. Its kept you out of prison.............so far.......
too small
why would anyone buy a mid........
