Just checked with AD : This common rep is a fantasy

[jonathanw]

Hey friends,

As some of you know, I've a gf that works at a big luxury jewelry and they have the Cartier AD section, I just checked with her on this model:

http://www.puretime.watch/product/c...e-dial-on-black-rubber-strap-miyota-movement/

and SADLY it doesnt exist. The white dial is actually a Cartier Calibre (not a Calibre Diver), but unfortunately the white dial diver is not half as nice looking as the now known to be fantasy white dial calibre DIVER. The diver only exists as a black dial with some variations but theres no gen white dial DIVER, just the calibre.

So forget about tells, this is an INSTANT tell, even more thant the inverted miyota datewheel, because it doesnt even exist as a valid gen model, though I must say as a fantasy model it looks SO beautiful!

Just thought I would share this info here with you guys. Have a great weekened all of you! and wear your reps / gens / frankens with pride =)

I knew that when purchasing and it doesn't bother me.
Still a beautiful piece which provides much enjoyment.

Very few people would know this doesn't exist ....

Funny, when I see a guy with a dial I'm not familiar with, I just figure its a custom dial and he had the money to customize his watch.

Yes that could be also done. This white dial belongs to the Calibre, not to the calibre diver. So one could always buy two gens and have a watchsmith take out the white dial and put on the caliber diver but that would be so expensive.

Unless you hang out with Cartier watch aficionados, no one is going to know that watch is a fantasy ..... if you love the design, GET IT! .. it's one of the perks of the rep hobby!! :drinks::dancing::woot::daffy::len:

The ZF model Is superb but for some foolish reason they put the date wheel Inverted so instant tell!
