Cartier watch serial number database serial numbers#

Unless someone has owned the watch since it was new and it has never left their sight it is impossible for them to state the watch is 'all original' as a part could have been replaced at some point in time - even without their knowledge. A watch can be authentic without being all original.

Another common problem is actually caused by language differences, i.e. Furthermore, the micro-script is not always located at the same place and if the dial has been refinished it may not appear at all. Indeed this is a good indicator, but not the best indicator as there were many Cartier watches produced prior to the technology required to make the micro-script possible and not all Cartier watches have Roman numerals for the dial to have the micro-script signature.

The biggest mistake I've seen amateur Cartier buyers make is using the Cartier micro-script signature on the Roman numeral to verify authenticity. If it has a replacement movement in it the watch is technically authentic, but not original and is not worth as much as one with an original or a genuine Cartier replacement movement. Some sellers offer the Cartier quartz model for sale and only state that the watch has a quartz movement, but fail to mention if it has a Cartier quartz movement. If the watch was registered by Cartier when it was sold or if it has been sent in to Cartier for service Cartier will be able to verify it is authentic, but be aware that if the watch was not originally sold in North America or was not registered when sold (fairly common) it can still be authentic. Many more versions of the Cartier Santos followed, and the watch remains one of the most iconic Cartier menвЂ™s watches today. I've seen fakes with all the correct marks and a serial number, but that doesn't mean they are legitimate. Cartier began manufacturing a small number of Cartier Santos watches in 1908, with serial production following in 1911. I specialize in buying and selling Cartier watches.
