Cartier Santos de Cartier Large WSSA0018 "Santos"
The steel Santos is available at retail in most markets, so our role here is condition and price rather than access. Where it pays to buy in Japan is the used market: full sets with both straps, at a level below new.

Why it is hard to get
It is not hard to get new. The difficulty is buying used well: the QuickSwitch bracelet and the interchangeable strap are frequently missing, and a Santos without both is worth materially less than one with.
What sourcing it from Japan gives you
Japanese sellers list accessories item by item rather than as an unspecified full set, so it is possible to buy a genuinely complete Santos here.
What it costs
We do not publish a price for this reference. The market moves weekly and a number printed on a page ages badly, so any figure here would be decoration rather than information. When you ask, we quote the current Japanese market level and show you the individual listings behind it, with our fee stated separately.

Questions about this reference
- Large or Medium?
The Large is 39.8 mm across the case but wears longer because of the lug-integrated bracelet. If your wrist is under about 16 cm, the Medium is usually the better fit. Tell us your wrist size and we will advise.
- Are both straps really included?
Only if the seller says so and we see them. We photograph every accessory individually in the condition report. A missing second strap is a price negotiation, not a surprise on delivery.
