8614 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Bought this watch recently. Here are the QC Pics. I leave it to the more experienced members of the forum to criticize as need be. I thank you for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8614 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks. The dial looks like it has something "different". Still don't know what it is tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Change Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Beat error is a bit high, imo, but acceptable. If your happy with the looks (I'm not very familiar with Cartier, so I have no opinion here) I'd accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your happy with the looks (I'm not very familiar with Cartier, so I have no opinion here) I'd accept it. I noticed. Borderline acceptable...can it be said as such? I believe it can be corrected with proper servicing, or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a proper servicing could help improve the beat error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for the information. Any opinions about the appearance of the watch? Beat error is easily adjusted ~ the only comment I have is that on a watch of this level, you will probably want to replace the leather strap. It will feel like vinyl and paper on your wrist. It is the biggest tell for this piece (to a layman, not some ultra-anal forum geek) Invest in a $50-100 gator/croc strap for this and WOW .. it will be a real home run. ps - nice watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have bought from these people before (as have other Forum members) and they are great http://www.ethan-o.com/ They used-to be named Inspire Workshop They even have a ready-made strap for this watch .. no buckle holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 It´s a whitegold Cartier and it says so on the X marker. In SS this will be lighter than the gen. Gen-name would help to compare it (how thick is the gen?), otherwise everything seems ok what regards the rep. New strap is a must imho also. Like the round shape and the looks of the caseback.

8614 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I am considering ordering a strap. Could somebody talk me thru the process (in brief). PM me if you do not want to divulge public details. Could somebody help identify the modile? I picked it because of looks, looks like the rotonde, but can't find an identical looking one on the cartier site.

I picked it because of looks, looks like the rotonde, but can't find an identical looking one on the cartier site. Look at this web page .. note that this model of Cartier has a no-holes strap, and requires a special order from whomever you buy .... note that the strap is a fixed length for a certain amount, then widens ... this is so the special Cartier clasp can adjust. As for ordering a strap .. thats no secret .. just find one you like, in the proper size for your watch and buy it. You'll need to know the width and the length and then any special needs (like for your Cartier's clasp) http://www.ethan-o.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=509&virtuemart_category_id=45&Itemid=163 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
