As you will see from these pictures, the angle of the photograph is important, because of the way Cartier is printed on the guilloche (if the one you are after has a guilloche dial)
15740 15741

interesting. Is this printing copy/redial/fake proof?

I would imagine it would be very difficult not to over-ink this in a copy. The word is only about 2mm long, so very delicate.

No it is not. IAn Ebay purchase from an estate auctioneer was proven fake by the Cartier boutique - fortunately I was able to get a full refund with the Cariter attestation.

Wow Lou..... if they can fool you then I am hopeless. I'll stick with Omega and maybe later one or two vintage Zenith El Primero (probably a purchase from you😀)

I'm no Cartier expert. I bought it under pressure - for a lady friend because she was pestering me for one -- without doing terribly thorough due diligence. very embarrassing.
