Hi,

Here are some pictures of the Cartier Roadster, received from Puretime last week for around $280 USD.

A fairly comprehensive review of the Gen (with pics) is here:

http://www.ablogtoread.com/cartier-roadster-s-watch-review/

The Gen runs an ETA2892, the Rep runs a "nickel plated Swiss ETA-2824-2 25J automatic movement at 28800vph".

I am not skilled or experienced enough to open up the watch to check myself, I have Google'd for the differences and these movements appear to have some similarities.

The watch feels really nice on, the links were very straight-forward to remove (in comparison to the omega seamaster po) and I am very pleased with it.

1) Anyone know if the original roadsters are still available as reps- and does the quick release bracelet function work on the reps also? That is a neat feature- letting you change bands easily. Although I don't know if rep roadster bands are available.

2) If you had to pick between a Ballon Bleu and a Roadster for a men's dress watch, which would you choose?

maybe I can help you too. the original roadsters are still available. Im not sure about the quick release feature working or not as I have yet to have one. You could indeed source all types of bands replica or genuine.

as for #2 if i had to pick one id say the ballon bleu. i had one and sold it to a friend and miss it immensely. Im a very well dressed person but i even struggled to wear the BB at first with casual outfits. However the roadster is also immensely classy and could be worn in formal situations as well without second though.

I thought the gen has a white date and magnification, or is that a different model?

That one is the newer Roadster S model. Some styling difference compared to the original Roadster.
