I dropped of my Tank Francaise, 18 k WG at the Cartier boutique in Las Vegas. Getting a full service and also requested a new strap. I said I wanted the short strap rather than the regular length. My concierge measured the existing strap, regular length, then asked about hole spacing on the new short. Since it’s a special order it will take some time, but it will be attached when the service is complete. Cost for the strap $375.00. The service is estimated at $550.00

Looking forward to seeing it with the new strap.

Recently bought my first Cartier.
It is so comfortable and light, that you don’t feel it on your wrist

Travelling to Paris this week and wanted to see if anyone has experience buying Cartier watches from the boutique. Are the prices final or is there negotiation room?

Generally, if buying over there, you are buying it as souvenir of your travels not because you'll get a good price. I've rarely found that the deals in Europe are better. I also had an issue once getting the VAT tax refunded on some of my purchases, although nothing to do with Cartier. Also Cartier boutiques do not discount the price. You may be able to get an extra strap thrown in as part of the purchase depending on the boutique. I got a free alligator strap for my Santos de Cartier with blue dial at my local US boutique. A friend was in Rome and the boutique there wasn't any cheaper than the US and they wouldn't give him a free strap with his purchase. So he waited until he got back to the States and bought the same watch from the salesperson I go to. Anyway, wishing you luck and enjoy your travels!

Thanks, I appreciate the insight. It’s the same in Canada(in Toronto anyways). No discounts from the boutique maybe strap at most.

Oh well, going to enjoy Paris and do some window shopping along the way.

I have 1 big problem with Cartier. I cannot get mine without buying my wife's first.

Call it the packaged deal requirement but not imposed by an AD.

I just need to bite the bullet on this one.

At least you can enjoy the buying experience together

I love these watches; I wish they would do applied numerals. Would a display case Santos be too much to ask?

I really like the all black ADLC despite the flat dial. I started looking for a more upscale alternative, but keep coming back to Cartier.
