    The recently controversial Lew & Huey Blue Riccardo...

    I have found that some people just like to hear themselves typing.

    Why are you thinking of switching @geoffbot.

    Still wearing this one. As the bezel and case show, I have worn this one a lot.

    I would venture to say, if you're just bored in general then keep the Bulgari, but if you're specifically bored WITH the Bulgari, then hide it for a few days to learn if you start missing it. Personally I think the Bulgari is a more unusual and lesser seen watch, the Santos a lot more classic and old-school. Maybe keep the Bulgari and scratch your itch with an affordable?
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    I'm with you on keeping the Bulgari. If you want the Cartier, do you have something else to swap/sell @geoffbot?

    The old "different strokes for different folks" comes to mind, so, for ME, even though I like the Bulgari quite a bit, the Santos is, IMO, better suited for more wrist time.

    That's a true GADA with 100m WR and a style that can be worn up and down with different attire. Just my opinion, and I really like the blue bezel version, it's been on my low level radar for a good bit.
    @Cybotron - do you still have yours?

    Yes buy it. LOL.

    Pros: Great watch with a lot of history. If bought from an AD you get a 8 year warranty. You don't need any tools to add/remove links on the bracelet.

    Cons: Cartier movements aren't really the greatest. The Santos bezel can be a scratch magnet. Need to go OEM or custom if you decide to get additional straps.

    I've been happy with mine but I'm a big fan of the brand. Hope that helps.
    Cheers,

    Richard

    Yes. Just past the 2 year mark.

    Just for grins for the audio minded among us - a pic from this past weekends audio show in Seattle. Just a little $250k system.

    If we ever actually move to a new place, I’m still interest in the Alta Adams. Of course by the time we do, they’ll probably have been replaced by a new model…
