Hello - need advise.

Getting married soon, and both our families want to mark the occasion with a token to welcome each other into the family. My fiance (36M) is into watches—he already owns 2 Rolexes and a Hublot.

My parents are thinking of gifting him a watch, and I’m suggesting an automatic Cartier Santos with a blue dial. It feels classic yet different from what he already has. His parents are gifting me a Cartier bracelet.

Any better watch to consider? Thinking to keep to 10-15k budget

Don’t let them choose a watch for your husband. The gift should be a trip to a retailer that sells multiple brands so he can pick what HE wants.

Add the Santos and advise your future husband to sell the Hublot…win win

JK…obligatory bowl Hublot joke. I actually have nothing against Hublots 😀

Congratulations and Cartier always makes a special event even more so! You could even engrave the back of the Santos to mark the occasion!

The Santos is a great choice given his watch collection. Definite recommend on that.

If you know, which Rolexes does he have? Cause I have a few and and if anyone was gifting me, I wouldn’t want a Cartier. I’d much rather have an omega or a diff Rolex

That’s true. I find myself wearing the two Rolexes I have over the one Cartier. But as they say, de gustibus non est disputandum.

My wife got a Cartier bracelet and I got a Cartier watch as family wedding gifts. I also have 2 Rolexes and an Omega, but the Cartier means the most, I still wear it for formal / special occasions, and the one I’ll never sell. Tank Louis would be the ultimate wedding watch IMO, and Santos is also a solid pick (leather strap for the wedding day.)

Watches are super hard to shop for other ppl. Best you ask him

Pm me here or on my IG @phillywatchguy happy to help!

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side.

Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.
