MrA 0 Posted September 17, 2019 Came across this today when looking through intime site to see what the price difference were on Cartier to other sites https://www.intime05.co/cartier/6273-ballon-bleu-33mm-ss-af-1-1-best-edition-pink-textured-dial-on-pink-croco-leather-strap-cal076.html Claims ETA movement that the cartier movement is based off, pink croco strap - 548usd - which seems steep, will the strap be crap? Mrs A liked the look of it, so need to explore it more. Any thoughts on this watch? Is it a gimmick or real deal with the movement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,714 Posted September 17, 2019 No idea, but you can buy decent quartz Cartiers all day long for less than $20 on the Gate. Its not like its a watch anyone knows anything about. And women prefer quartz. I've bought my wife a dozen. All sizes and types Step up to $40 and you get a decent bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeaDweller 3 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Just got this in 42 mm blue dial with stainless steel bracelet from trustytime. Took it to my watch repair guy to get it sized, he could scarcely believe it was a replica. Only thing he said that "could" give it away is the crystal, and this is after he examined it for a looong time. If anyone is interested I can post a review with pictures. I took some but they did not come out too good. Are QC pictures ok to post ? Edited April 27, 2020 by SeaDweller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
