entertainmentrubbish Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi. I coughed up $480 for an "Ultimate" Cartier Santos 100 Chrono. Only to find that the carbouchon on the crown is that sickly light blue color (which should be a dark indigo on an ori) which is an immediate give away even on casual inspection. Can anyone here tell me where I could get the proper colored carbouchon or even a replacement crown with the correct color ? Hate to give up an otherwise great replica over a simple thing like that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfl Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 You could always try replacing the crown. I think several members ordered these for the Toro special Santos.http://bit.ly/1cuexM8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 If you google cabochon or eBay the same term, you will find thousands of these little gems for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesfl Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Please post your opinion when you get it as I am still undecided if I want to change the crown on my Toro special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
