How do they say it...my “disease” started Monday night. 😂 Thanks everybody. I am over the moon pleased. Reading about them online, watching every YouTube video...and what I have found is nothing beats seeing it in person and touching it. The craftsmanship is just...spot on. |

I am only now beginning to realize just how lucky I was. I should have known something was up when my AD called me to say “when you come in...go to the Cartier counter. I’ll meet you there.” All three watches were still in the unopened plastic shipping cartons. I think I was literally the first client to touch them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That was a great opportunity to have them all available to really judge for yourself and choose the one you like.
