Cartier Santos 100 Ref. W2020009 Watch Review
Article and images contributed by Michael Maximilien:In some circles, the French brand Cartier is seen more?as?a fine jewelry producer than as a watchmaker. However, the brand has a long history as a creator of fine timepieces coupled with a unique style which makes it hard to ignore...The original Cartier Santos was reportedly designed and created by Louis Cartier himself in 1904 for his friend and pioneer, Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. The Santos has been a major piece in the Cartier collection for a long time and in 2004 Cartier released their Santos 100 line which included larger Santos models.The Santos line has many variations, however, they are all styled like the original.

Finally, a watch with a design as ostentatious as a Lamborghini - designed to go with your Lamborghini. New Italian watch brand Adriano Valente (did the name give it away?) has released their first watch called the AVL001.

Discount on 116613LB?
Hi all,I currently own a few watches (Breitling, Panerai) and have been looking at picking up a Rolex for some time now. I have settled on the two tone Submariner (blue / steel+gold) 116613LB. I have a couple of local ADs here -- I have heard that some discount and some do not. Should I expect a discount on this model? Everyone I have talked to said no discount on steel, some discount on gold watches... haven't heard much in terms of the two tones. Plan is to buy new. Expectations? Planning on shipping it to my out of state residence as well.
