Cartier Roadster.
A watch which intrigued me a lot, in the early 2000's. I passed, because of the date. Just because of this damn date.
Otherwise, I liked it!
Best,
Nicolas

I still remember the first time I saw one
A colleague in the office had gotten one as a wedding present and I was mesmerized by the crown and streamlined cyclops. On the positive side they are generally affordable and there are quite a lot of different versions available to find one to your likin...

With the cyclops fully integrated into the case design 👌🏻
I had one, and the date for me was one of the unique design features, the way the magnifier fit into the case...
the cyclops on a Rolex....no thanks. ...
The Roadster is an interresting one,
I like many aspects of the design but I think I would need to see it on my wrist to find out if it truly "works" for me. There are some designs I like in pictures but don't fall in love with in real life like the Pasha. With the 90s Breitling Chronomat it...
