Cartier Roadster XL Chronograph

[ExtraExtra]

This came out late last week. Saw it in Trusty and PC site in the other sections....low key as it was not splashed in front page.

What are your thoughts and how do these 2 versions compare with the original? One thing I noticed is that bezel maybe REALLY screwed down from the inner case back (i.e. somewhat like the AP). You can see the opposite screws when the case back is open. Also, this is the same movement used in somne of the Bentley models. Lacking in the pics is how well the date window and mag was done in this rep and may just be the deal breaker for the super rep status.

Check it out:

Way too thick. Pushers for chronos are too fat and protrude too far. All due to movement. Pass....

Closet Roadster fan here... And, you're absolutely correct cskent, those pushers look ridiculous. But why should the movement be at fault? I'd bet Cartier uses a 7750 too. They certainly don't use in house movements in their other 'low end' products.

I'm a big Cartier fan and from what I can tell.... Way off. Dial inaccurate as are the dimensions.

I've been waiting for this rep to come... I'll keep waiting for something else now!
