Also, each replica Cartier Santos watch is individually numbered on the back, as well as identifed on both the certificate of authenticity and warranty card, so you know exactly which piece you have in the series (we had 37 of 155 made). On top of that, the M series comes with a swappable metal bracelet and the tools to make that change. The bracelet of the M5 is black steel, as it should be, and again has considerable weight to it. However, we think the steel bracelet, despite actually being high quality, does not provide a look that is as smooth as the leather strap, and that goes across the board for all M chronographs...they really look much better on leather. Either way, find us another $350 replica Cartier Santos watch that gives you everything we've described above plus knock-out looks, and we'll be impressed.
The movement, as we mentioned above, is adequate and really not best suited for heavy chronograph use, although it does have a 60 minute register. For everyday time telling and the occasional use of the chronograph, we have no real complaints with the Miyota OS20 as LÜM-TECs movement of choice for the M Chronographs. We are, of course, happy to see more pieces with mechanical movements in the works though. So the case, crystal, face, and MDV technology are all exceptional, especially when considering you paid less than $400 for this watch. The weight of this watch is substantial, and when compared to an Omega Speedmaster Automatic, it definitely holds its own. What takes this chronograph to the level of where we can enthusiastically endorse this little known brand is the little things. With each purchase you receive a LÜM-TEC replica Cartier Santos watch branded leather display box, an international warranty card, a hand-signed certificate of authenticity, and a detailed instruction sheet.
