Cartier Santos Medium and Large are different sizes of the same modern Santos de Cartier family. They are not interchangeable for price comps. Pick the size you will wear, then compare Canada all-in listings for that exact reference.
Santos Medium or Large: which should you buy?
Medium (examples like WSSA0029) fits more wrists for daily wear. Large (examples like WSSA0018) reads as a statement piece. Try both if you can. On listings, confirm case size in the title and photos before you treat a price as a match.
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Case size (Medium vs Large) | Main configuration split |
| Reference (WSSA0029 / WSSA0018 examples) | Avoid mixing dials and generations |
| Full set / box & papers | Scope swings price |
| Authenticity Guarantee | Trust signal on higher eBay asks |
Does size affect resale?
Yes. Liquidity and premiums differ by size and dial. Match configuration before comparing all-in prices. A “cheap Large” is not a deal on a Medium budget, and the reverse is also true.
How should Canadians compare Santos listings?
Open each size’s reference page, toggle Canada all-in, and prefer AG or trusted dealers. Rank by trust and landed cost after the size is confirmed.
