I finally changed the non leather strap of the Solar-Beat for a green alligator.
While I have nothing against the non leather strap, I am very pleased with the new look.

It looks more high end this way

I do not really get Cartier on this one. I would have refreshed the design a little. The technical innovation is quite important yet they do not even write it anywhere on the caseback if I am not mistaken... This will cut some traffic in their boutiques to change the battery though... hopefully they do not shoot themselves in the foot with the longer maintenance intervals (are you never supposed to service it btw?)

The Solar-beat needs to be serviced once in 16 years.

I bought specifically because of the design :)

I really love the fact that they got back to Tank Louis Cartier design, this is a Tank LC in steel, with a modern movement. I really love it, so comfortable and classy yet casual
