Icons of my lifetime....
When growing up in my late teens & early 20s, the 3 watches pictured above were symbolic of wealth, style & cool respectively. I always wanted a Santos, from first sight of it in stainless steel, I felt the design was faultless. It took me until my 30s to...
Those are indeed three icons...
looking quite comfortable together. If only one, I'd go Rolex every time
Where does the Santos-Dumont fit in this comparison?
I like both Santos 100 and S-D very much, as they both strike me as having a macho aspect that is balanced by elegance. But I never saw both in direct comparison.
Of the three brands? Rolex, but for this one, which started everything for me, I mean my story with watches and my love for them.
I could get my first in my early 30's. And yes, it was a GMT MASTER. I wanted one since I was 14. ...
A difficult choice
Because i am a real Seamaster lover. I see simulatities in how you love the Santos. Both S and both real icons.
Thank you for your post and featuring these three wonderful timepieces!
I particularly enjoyed the reasons and thoughts behind acquiring each one! In terms which one I would take from the three? I'd rather take all three!
You're very welcome!
Smaller sizes are definitely making a come back, and I am actually quite partial to the 36-39mm watches. Hopefully I will be able to add at least one in this size sooner rather than later.
