Hi SJX. I like the watch overall and applaud
Cartier for the movement. I am also a very big fan of the engraved seconds, that is a really great feature and gives the face an even greater Roman accent. My main issue from the pictures and this could be quite different in the metal, relates to the balance of the Romans on the northern hemisphere and the bars on the Southern hemisphere. The face looks top heavy to my eye. If they would have included a four and
an eight in Romans, I think it would have worked better for me. I also like the choices on the different combinations and find the price points understandable.
Thanks for a great article and hope to see you soon,
Tim

I agree
The combination of Roman and baton indices bugs me. That being said, the watch looks attractive on the wrist, it's just that the mix of markers doesn't sit well with me. - SJX
Thanks for pointing that out!
Thanks for point out the fact that the dial does seem a little top heavy. I was thinking that, but I couldn't phrase it in my mind. Agree with all of your points as well. My main question is, will this watch age well. Will it still look good 20, 30, 40, 5...
