As an estate buyer and seller of over 30 years, I can tell you that the amount of fake watches being sold on the internet is crazy. The fake Cartier is one of the strongest in the marketplace and they are so real that even the experts have to take a second look! In the last quarter 3 have come to us!
There are several things to look for: Crispness of the lettering, dial letter/numbering; Logo impression and if its not exact, straight or dimpling its not real; links not smooth from the case and displays unevenness; crown emblem; inside movement does not say Cartier; weight of the watch. Even with all of these items dubbed by the counterfeits you still need to bring in to have checked out!
