## Where the Green Begins and Ends
The skeletonized dial carries green lacquer. The crown is set with a green jasper stone, and the alligator strap is green as well. Anyone unfamiliar with the reference number can tell the WHSA0028 from its black sibling from across the room. A deliberate design statement, not a subtle one. Against the ADLC variant WHSA0027, the polished steel case reads as more classical — and considerably more forgiving in daily wear.
## Why Collectors Say "Green Santos Skeleton"
Among enthusiasts, this reference goes by either "Santos Skeleton Green" or "Green Skeleton Santos Large"; both names point to the same watch, and neither is wrong. The 9611 MC runs fully skeletonized and visible through the open movement, with no date complication. Buying this watch means buying the theatre of the movement, not quick legibility. For collectors who moved at the 2022 launch, the all-green concept was the real purchase driver: one color running from the jasper stone at the crown to the alligator strap — a degree of chromatic consistency Cartier had not previously taken this far.
Brand profile: Cartier
Cartier watches (Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu) are popular targets for counterfeiters. The distinctive design (Roman numerals, blue sword hands) is recognizable — but also easy to copy.
- Sapphire cabochon crown: on genuine pieces it's SET INTO THE METAL (bezel-set); on fakes it's usually GLUED. Test: loupe — adhesive residue around the edge = fake.
- Bracelet screws: genuine Cartier bracelets ALWAYS have visible screw slots. Pins instead = fake.
- 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock: MICROPRINTED directly beneath the 6 o'clock marker. Fakes often omit it or print it crooked.
- Guilloché pattern: under 10x magnification, EXACTLY parallel and uniformly deep. Irregularities = fake.
Serial number format: Cartier serial numbers: alphanumeric, on the case back. Older models: number located between the crystal ring and the case. New purchases come with a Cartier passport.
