Ladies Cartier Ballon Bleu, help please.

[JasonGSD]

Hey so I've been searching the threads and can't come up with some concrete advice on this watch for the gf.

My questions of course are, how's the accuracy? Is the quartz movement decent? Why is the eta version $450 more? Thanks in advance.

Ive heard its a good rep, search the forum there are various threads on this watch

I got one before in 36mm automatic, the quality of the watch is very good and well made.

That looks pretty good from that view, I recently got a Cartier ballon and the crown wasn't as centered vertically.

Any suggestions as to
Quartz
Japanese clone
Eta?

I got a 36mm midsize swiss eta auto from Trevor for $250. Dead on accuracy. Make sure you get the 2671-2 mov't. The 28mm version is way to small by today's standards imo. Quartz is fine too as Cartier sells them as well

See that's what I wanted to know! I am getting mine through Ryan because he's done well for me in the past. All I know is its quartz. Waiting on QC pics. What's the deal with the movement you mentioned? Thank you very much for the assistance. I also ended up getting her the 36mm.

That movement is just the hi beat eta automatic that fits the smaller watches. Best of luck!
