Hi all,
I bought this from our beautiful Canadian member Beau. Very smooth and nice transaction by the way. I think the watch originally came from Lay (Replicamake) - is that correct Beau? I know you all think I bought this from Beau just to get hold of her real name, but I bought this for my wife. Really. I promise. I'm not the stalking type. Honestly, the court misinterpreted the whole thing. Twice. Anyway, my wife just loves the white Chanel J12 I got for her and I thought she would enjoy something different to put on the wrist once in a while.
This is the small model of the La Doña de Cartier, ref number W660012I. The rep has the same specs as the gen; Stainless steel case and bracelet, size 22-26x26x7mm, quartz movement. The rep has a crisp printing on a nice looking dial. The "Cartier" printing is on the 10'o'clock marker leg as it should be on this small model. Fairly accurate hands, length and colour. Bracelet is a bit "stiff". Nice foldover clasp. Looks good overall but with a few flaws, see pics below:
- The bracelet links should be flat on the "non-wrist side", in the rep they are more of a rounded shape.
- The crown should be wider, but flatter (= not so high).
- The blue faceted spinel on the gen crown is more of a blue (non-faceted) pearl on the rep. Looks good though with a nice lustre and "depth"!
First the gen for comparison
And then the rep...

This watch looks nice, although not with a 100% gen feeling, especially when it comes to the bracelet. My wife was not overwhelmed by it, mainly because she never wears anything else than her Chanel J12, but also because she has a couple of gen Longines Dolce Vita that have a similar look to this Cartier. However, the day after it arrived from Beau my 78 year old mother was visiting, and she happened to see the Cartier and fell instantly in love with it. So after adjusting the bracelet it is now on my mother's wrist. She has phoned me several times expressing how much she (and her friends) likes it!
Cheers, Xplodr
