I have just recieved the Ballon Bleu de Cartier that I ordered..... and to tell you the truth.... I am amazed. Never expected such a high definition of this replica.... it looks very genuine. The watch was purchased from Hont to whom I would be writing a very positive review.... if someone can indicate where please?
I took the following pictures..... maybe some are not that good. Hope you all enjoy my first posting.

It is not the usual Ballon Bleu.... since the 'normal' ones do not have a balancing wheel (advertised as a tourbillon)..... however I preferred the aesthetics of this one rather than the usual Ballon Blue since in the latter the Roman Numerals VI , VII, VIII are really squashed together. I mean this is also so in the genuine ones.... hence to avoid that and since I have a fondness for watch mechanical parts showing.... I opted for this one. This is to justify my choice for this watch.... if someone was wondering.
Some people over here advised me not to purchase a chain in alternate gold because it would wear off quickly.... well well... I took the risk and we'll see what happens... in the worst of cases I will change it to a real one.
I have also tried out the watch to check if it works properly or maybe if it lags behind and I can say that in 5 hours it worked perfectly fine.
Will be taking a wrist shot soon.
Finally I would like to thank deloreandmc, fakemaster, avenger007, tommy_boy, trksh-bzr and acharria, for the great support and help given to me as a newbie.
Joining this Forum was the next best thing to do ... and yes I have already become an addict.... hehehe.... ordering my next watch soon >D
ooopppsss.... the photos are huge... how can I shrink them???
