Cartier

Hello! Just recently received the beautiful Santos Dumont XL mechanical and quickly noticed how uneven the bevelling on the lugs are. One side is twice the width of the other. Also, the jewel on the crown is not symmetrical at all! Quiet shocking tbh. Any...  

Especially the bevelling issue is unusual for a watch of that price category and from such a company !

You will never be satisfied with this watch. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Did they mention anything else? I wonder how often this happens.

You should definitely ask for a new one! And an explanation. A no-go for me for a brand like Cartier. Good luck Thomas

Is this from an AD?

famous of its quality but now something must have gone wrong.

The demand of hand made crafts increase. More and more watches are hand finished. Perfectionism is for me the most important, and perfect watches just awesome. I can not live with imperfections, and my Longines is hurt, same feeling of your Dumont. So sen...  

I'm sure even the mighty brands have an off QC day. I'm sure Cartier will sort you out. I recall when i purchased my GS Snowflake, the hands were quite scratched up and showed their flaws in certain lights. GS were adamant though that if it could not be s... 

Seriously, we all know this. Is there any watch brand that offers *less* in the $3k - $10k range than Cartier does? Handle a modern steel Tank Solo or Tank Americaine or Tank MC. Then go across the way to the JLC boutique and compare a same-price-level Re... 

The quality of cartier watches are generally on a very high level -Including the basic models. JLC by far has one of the worse quality control in the industry, hands are almost always dirty, dusty or scuffed up. Scratches on dials and crystals and much mo... 

I guess this post wasn't what I was expecting to read while looking for opinions on Cartier watches. I want to buy one for my wife's 50th birthday next month and stumbled across this list . I guess none of these models are worth the money and I should lo... 

TheWindingStem is no fool, though, and he clearly disagrees with me! As I said in the original, I'd recommend JLC Reversos over similar Cartiers. I think Blancpain makes particularly lovely ladies watches, too. But I'll admit that for many women, there's ... 

It’s quite shocking

I would imagine some gifts may be in order

Sorry for you , hope you return it to them soon. But No surprise at all! Believe it...Cartier has gone commercial more than a decade , they left thier principles one by one but in very slow steps, despite they now announced/claimed to go back to the roots...
