Finally got the grey strap
Though it’s difficult to discern from black in this Photo, but looks great! The original strap was confiscated at customs because it’s alligator. Be sure to communicate with your overseas seller to ensure they know how to handle such an issue!
This watch is just beautiful.
Cheers

Nice. I can't get past being enamored with Cartier.
There's a few watches I would like to add to my collection but Cartier is at the TOP of the list.
When customs removed the strap, was it done with proper attention to the watch case…
or did a random person hack it off? 🥺 My understanding is that if the overseas seller sends the strap separately then there’s no problem with customs. Is this the case? Nonetheless, this is an excellent piece! Cartier has my attention.
Very happy to read that it all played out well in the end. 👌🏽
Thank you for sharing this story since it will hopefully alert many people to the issue of importing watch with certain straps and customs clearance.🙏🏼
