Cartier’s quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

I bought a new “quick change “ strap to replace a” change “ strap for my SD. The new strap’s spring bars were cemented, making it impossible for me to do the change. I had to bring it to a watchmaker who figured out what was wrong.
Additionally, the bar for the buckle was bent so badly that the guy had to fight with it to be able to put the buckle on the new strap.
This is a 4 months since purchase watch. Crazy.

The first Cartier of our household has been the Genta era Pasha with the large date. Now it might not have the most exciting movement but I always appreciated the very different approach to dive watches that the Pasha took. And it’s properly water proof a...  

I thought maybe it was the Larry Bird Edition

If they cannot get it fixed, maybe they can just convert it to a week counter for you 🤣

They always claim it’s a user error 🤦🏻‍♂️

At some point I just gave up 🤷🏻‍♂️ Reminding me, need to take the Drive to Cartier, as dust made it under the crystal, which is annoying. Fortunately, no such issues with the Pasha 😊

Send it to FP Journe

I could be wrong but I believe he made the movement for the pasha big date

Now that’s an interesting detail I wasn’t aware of!

Thanks for that! Although the service might run more than the watch there 😂

Its a great looking design overall

Now the only thing remaining is to consider putting it on a strap 😁😉🧐

Nice Psycho Date!

Shocking they can't get it to work properly.

The whole aftersales is shocking in the industry…

Unbelievable that as customers we do not put up more of a stink - I do not think anyone would accept the level with a car. But there you have it 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s those details that you do not need to care about…

Beautiful and Iconic Cartier .

Hope this issue will be fixed soon

Thanks a lot - will probably take it with again…

Hopefully that will improve 🤞🏻

I do like the date implementation on this reference.

Bummer it’s temperamental. No date preferred, but big date I like.
