They never do on any watch, if they do then they are bolt heads not screws.

The new line of Cartier Santos, especially the one with the sunburst blue dial they have a quick release strap and come with 2 straps.
I tried this on in Copenhagen the other week - never been a huge Santos fan but I must admit it wore really well, and the blue dial is really nice
I had a Santos 100 XL and really liked it but wanted a date function and the strap was very thick and wide so I sold it on, I think the new one is slimmer, the XL was only 38mm but 38mm had never looked so big especially as the lug to lug was 51mm, I think the new one is 40mm x 47.5mm I'd like to try one on.

Bell & Ross BR05 range with integrated bracelet, the skeleton dial especially. No prizes for guessing where they’ve taken inspiration from, but for ~£4K (and probably less on the used market), an interesting proposition....

I know, but for that reason I can’t abide exposed screws.

Ordered this a few days ago, £24.99 in a sale. Just really appealed to me.
