What do you guys think of the Cartier Roadster XL?

I know it got discontinued but it looks gorgeous, especially for a suit and tie event or even with a leather jacket.

I owned a Roadster and loved it. But it needed servicing in 3 years so I traded it for a Rolex. Cartiers that I have owned needed frequent servicing, but they look great.

I had a Roadster for a while. Best thing about it was the system for changing straps/bracelet.

I'm on a SS/WG kick at the moment as I'm heavy on coloured gold, your Roadster on black strap is my fave config at the moment.
