this looks good to me SS Quartz cant really go to wrong... i have a gold quartz for my wife and she wears it every day for almost 2 years and the gold is near perfect still..
Not suppose to do this! use your eyes and compare it to pictures of the genuine, look at color, fonts, look at each part of the watch and and compare to genuine, Crown, case, hands, dial, bracelet.
I don't know anything about that watch but it looks good to me and quartz is best for a woman.

I want to buy one of these for my GF, Would also prefer to buy quartz for the reliability, but ideally it would have sapphire glass and still be good quality.
How much did you pay for this one, and from which dealer?
Thanks

The QC pics are acceptable to me. You can proceed safely, these ballon bleus are top notch, can't go wrong.
Any TD can get it for you, just chose the size and ask for the V6F version V2 (with upgraded color on the blue hands and better/correct engravings)
I just bought this same cartier ballon bleu in rose gold from TSWatches and the engravings are wrong it should never say SWISS QUARTZ on the back I dont care what nobody say. A rep should look as close to the AUTHENTIC as possible that defeats the purpose of buying a rep. Just because there named a TRUST DEALER dont mean nothing some of these TRUST DEALERS are sending customer s Bullcrap reps...

jonathan,
how exactly can I recognise the V2 of the V6F version?
i just ordered a ballon bleu 33mm V6, wondering which version it is.
I Noticed the bracelet has engraved on it on the left side "stainless steel" instead of "swiss made" (as the gen and also the photos on websites of TDs) - was that corrected in V2?
The V6F V2 has the correct gen like metallic blue color on the hands and the better engravings on the case back and SS bracelet.
here it is for you mate:

You full well know you are or you would not have said anything about "breaking rules"!
You are the one buying the watch, you are buying it to please yourself and no one else. You should by now know what this rep should look like, if you have done your due diligence you are aware of the tells of this model so you should be well and truly capable of telling if the is a good example of the rep.
QC pics are NOT for comparison with the gen, you should already have dome that, you should have read all the threads you can on the rep in the Cartier section of RWI and know a good rep from bad. As such you should have picked a version of this rep that satisfies you so as long as these QC pics look like the many other pics of this version on RWI there should be no problem! If you are incapable of telling from the QC pics that the proffered example is good example of the particular version of this rep you elected to buy than you, sir, need a new hobby.
QC PICS MAY ONLY BE POSTED IN THREADS THAT THEY ARE PERMITTED BY A SECTION MOD OR IF YOU SPOT A SPECIFIC ISSUE YOU NEED ASSISTANCE WITH!!! I'm sure from your very first sentence in the thread that you are well aware of this so DON'T BLOODY WELL DO IT!
Pics removed.

icard2:And this is why we do not allow QC pics! He has already ordered and paid for the watch mate, comments like that result in the dealer being stuck with a watch when the buyer demands a refund and buys elsewhere. He should have checked the various versions himself by now, asked those questions BEFORE placing an order and paying.
Trailboss,
with all due respect, I think you are wrong re you prior post - let me clarify.
i am not the initial poster of the thread, but read about Jonathan's comment and asked him to understand differences between versions.
I ordered from a highly regarded TD of this forum latest version (but in 33mm , not 36mm - for 33mm there doesn't seem to be a V6F V2 only a new V6F) and my QC pic shows very clearly different engraving on the bracelet than on the TDs website.
I asked the TD about it and if it's a different version then V6F but he didn't answer properly (except for saying its V6F but not commenting on the obvious difference vs his own website photos).
I also spent min 2 hours checked forums for prior QC threads and 3 other TDs websites, all V6F photos have elsewhere to the correct engraving on the bracelet.
Now I am wondering what to do, that's why I asked here about various versions to understand if I might have gotten an older version where the hands might also have a less accurate colouring (which is hard to see from mediocre QC photos).

Trailboss,
would you say that a wrong engraving on the bracelet (Ssteel instead of swiss made) compared to the photos of the TD for the specific watch I ordered is an acceptable reason to reject a watch?
(I am wondering myself and asked for sharper pic of dial to make at least sure that that is fine before deciding)
