My thoughts
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 sending to a professional to polish is the only option for me. Thanks God my Omega Seamaster is 100 percent perfection, my Classima in a good shape. But my poor little Conquest would be cured some day.
My mimimi mimimi Longines.♥️
At 19h is a ding. The best camera can not catch the ding, but i see it.
Santos Dumont Bevelling.
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...
Wow,this is not looking good.
Especially the bevelling issue is unusual for a watch of that price category and from such a company !
In my opinion you should return and reject this watch ...
You will never be satisfied with this watch. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Their quality control must obviously have slept.
You should definitely ask for a new one! And an explanation. A no-go for me for a brand like Cartier. Good luck Thomas
Cartier has always been
famous of its quality but now something must have gone wrong.

Bad penny?
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...
Cartier has gotten away with horological murder for years
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...
I respectfully disagree.
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...
Is it that bad
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...
That's my opinion
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 ...
Let us know what the dealer does when you return it
I would imagine some gifts may be in order
Don't be surprised...it's from the New Cartier!!
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...
