tonton2000 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I would agree, i too have a very large wish list! But at the price, these are a steal. Change the datewheel to black and you couldn't find another flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubFrog Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Wow...I didn't realize the size of this thing. Nice. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perini Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Stunning! Thanks for the pics. I saw it on Joshua's gallery, and it looked very nice, but it looks awesome in your photos. Anybody has found other flaws? Edited October 4, 2006 by perini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estaban Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Looks great on your meat hook. I saw one at a local jeweler and it didn't look that beefy in the case. Not sure if it's for me, but it is nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Good ole' Cartier. I really like it. Looks as big as a PAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I think it just sits really well on the wrist. I was a bit worried about the size, as im used to PAMs, but it is actually fine, and feels alot better than the Navitimer i had and then sold because it was too small. I cant find a flaw bar the datewheel. Even the band has screws on every link like the original. With a new datewheel, this would be pretty much 1:1, and all it would need then would be a decorated ETA 2893-A2 (what cartier call their Caliber 049) which you would never see anyway as it has a solid back.

Just keep in mind that Cartier does use a custom date *font*. So simply going to a black date wheel with ETA's standard font won't be a match, although it'll be an improvement. But, I've never seen an accurate Cartier replica datewheel... I happen to really like the Roadster and have had that rep for about 3 years. The Roadster rep at that time was fantastic, it is 1:1, but it too has the wrong date font. I don't care. Oh and by the way, 1:1 refers to the physical dimensions - for what it's worth.

Guest Sql_pl Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Tonton how's the overall quality? Does it feel like a gen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonton2000 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Tonton how's the overall quality? Does it feel like a gen? In all honesty, yes it does! You have to actually have it in your hand to really appreciate the look and feel of it, but the dealers could have easily charged double the price and called it a "1:1 perfect" rep and i'd have still been happy.
