Cartier skeleton - for men or women?

[James1]

Hi guys

I'm embarrased to ask, but is this a mens or ladies watch? I'd have thought it was for the girls, but Josh usually says if it's for ladies...

Hi James,

you have to check the width of the strap at the lugs. This is more important than the size of the watch. Traditionally, men's watches have a distance between the lugs of 18 mm and up. There are some vintage watches with 17 mm, but they are not very common. Ladies' watches have straps which are 16 mm and smaller.

Compared to today's watches, it will definitely be a ladies size. If it has a 18 mm strap it should still be fine as a dress watch for a man.

It's men's model, but today we would probably call it "unisex".

Did you notice the spelling on the back?

I can't make out what it says on the back... What's the error?

I can't see it any more, but I know for a fact it say "sixteem jemels" or something like that. Could be my monitor or maybe they took new pic.

Bottom line is it is horribly misspelled.

On the front it says "CARTIER RARIS" = )

wow that too. I guess the challenge with this one is finding the correct words.

[James1]

Nope, it is spelled "paris" on the front... Maybe this is a better version?

*hopefully*

I'll ask Josh, maybe he'll know...
