My new Cartier Ballon Bleu

I bought 2 new watches at the Cartier Boutique. This one for me, and a smaller one for my wife.




Rolex and Panerai both have a nicer box, but Cartier still is pretty.


The book comes with a DVD inside.




The hands change color from blue to black depending on the light.




The back lighting exaggerated the crown's blue gem. It is pretty, but not glowing blue either.






The gold links are only 3 on each side. They do not continue throughout the whole band. I find that disappointing, but I still love this watch.

Congrats! I also find it strange that the gold center links don't continue throughout. Bizarre.

Congrats. I tried one on in Mexico recently and liked that model.
