You and me both 😁👍🏻
One of my all time favorite ls and definitely the favorite Cartier. I was offered one just before they went ballistic from a fellow member here but as I had two incoming watches at the time I mistakenly believed that I could always get it a bit later. Then the prices quintoupled over night 🤷🏻♂️
Hopefully one day though 🤞🏻

When it first came out I saw one in red gold at the local Cartier store. They offered me the watch at a price they told me was super special, heavily discounted.
I left them a deposit and told them I’d be back the next day. Once at home I checked the official price and it was the same price they were offering me. I didn’t like it, I felt deceived, and returned the next day to ask for my deposit. The watch is rathe...
Not quite the way the experience should have gone 🤷🏻♂️
But a special piece irrespective 👏🏻👍🏻 Am surprised they were willing to make an extra one given that these were CPCPs 😊🤷🏻♂️
So beautiful this one.
The bezel seems a bit wide though. I love it, but only came to know about it after the hype.
Hah !
I left this exact one at a gray dealer in Tokyo to think about it for a few weeks. No deposit, it was gone when I came back. It may have been $10k given the strong dollar yen at that time. Prior to that I’d been haggling with a dealer in London about whet...
Probably my all time favourite Cartier of them all is this Cartier Tortue Chronographe Monopoussoir 'CPCP'.
This model in white gold and with the blue dial is for me "The One" I don't know why exactly but this one just speaks to me so strongly and I just find it so beautiful. Marc
It's a fabulous watch.
Years ago I searched for this particular version-WG, blue markings-and when I finally found it the dealer wouldn't sell to me because I was in the USA. I can't remember exactly what it was listed for but certainly under 15K USD. I ultimately got that move...
It is hard to believe, but
Cartier AD in Hong Kong sold me one at 30% off in 2003 and to sweeten the deal offered a mechanical Basculante at equivalent of 1600 USD. Tnat was before boutiques became a commonplace. How the times changes. And I still have both.
Beautiful watch!
I was fortunate to get in on this one before the hype. Doubly fortunate: I got to own a beautiful watch and then I got to make a *bundle* of money on it! No regrets on this one! ...
Have just posted mine and was scrolling….
….through the Cartier posts and saw this. Sorry if that’s adding salt to the wound: it IS a great watch….
