Santos De Cartier M

Been craving a new watch and as it was just my Bday it was time to make it happen! Ive always appreciated Cartier since I was a kid and my mother wore a tank. While I have quite a few watches there is not a modern Cartier in my collection, so I decided to change that!
It was between a regular tank and this Santos.
For some reason I just never like how a watch feels on a strap (I guess Im just a bracelet guy) so the Santos was the choice for me.
I looked at the L but it just felt big on my wrist and I don't care for the date on the Santos
I just picked it up from my AD a hour ago, I love how it looks and its very comfortable!
Sorry for such a lousy pic but my Photo Fu skills stink LOL

I’m very torn between the medium or large. I prefer a date function but I find the large a tad too big

Its funny in general I like larger watches but with the case shape and my wrist size (6.8 in) the M was the one for me especially since it didn't have the date.
If my wrist was 7.5 or bigger Id probably have give the L more consideration.
To me with my wrist size this watch is elegant and then sporty versus some other watches I have Id say are sporty and then elegant

Medium, white dial is definitely the way ahead. Stunning watch.

Congrats, you pick the right choice in medium. I bought one YG and one Steel (green dial) last year, both in medium size, I love both of them very much.

I just saw a RG medium and WOW!
Seems they quit making the M in RG and there are no deals to be found pre owned but I could see picking one up in the near future if I can find a decent price. I already have a YG DD40 so would like this in RG

Here is a pic I took today of my SS Santos
