Justasgood Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Welcome to Ubi's Corner Just an update.....I don't do reviews After spending a night with my new 7032 Monte CarlUbio, I have decided that I don't plan on doing much to it. The Monte CarlUbio is quite appealing as it is. I will track down a Gen Crystal and I will install Gen springbars today. So far, all I have done is brush the bezel.......and a lot. Tomorrow is my 11th Wedding anniversary. So I will be surprising my wife with this Cartier. It is a Genuine Picked up off the TZ sales corner as a "Needs to be fixed" and " has seen better days". Originally, it had the Gold Plaque over Sterling Silver. My watchmaker serviced the Quartz movement, replaced the crystal(Expensive at $75.00), Rhodium plated the case(My wife doesn't wear gold), replaced the gold crown with a new white gold from Cartier and put it in a really nice box. Hopefully I can get the stem I need to get the Monte Carlo finished so that my wife and I can enjoy our beautiful watches as we head toward the next decades-O-bliss. Wishing everyone a great weekend and Another BIG GIANT THANKS to my good Friend, Ubi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyd3 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 How was the bezel installed without over grinding it (like on Spin's version)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 well, this crystal isn't Gen. However it is nice. I couldn't get the bezel on when the crystal was on the case....but I could put the bezel on the crystal when it was off the watch. So, I installed the bezel on crystal, then pressed the combination in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 DW's crystal is much nicer than he's given credit for. I used to think that all genuine Cyclope 128s were flat, with beveled edges. However, I've seen several original examples on VRF that show otherwise. No smoking gun picture of the crystal's profile, unfortunately, but reflections and refractions indicate a domed crystal. Great trio of watches from the talented Mr. Ubi! I'm not an AP guy, but I'm rather fond of that Royal Oak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
