I just found this Cartier for sale, and it's really beat up but I'm unsure if it's real or a fake. It's priced accordingly.
I checked the movement Cal. 1904-CH and couldn't find anything obvious. Sadly I lack knowledge about Cartier Watches.

What do you guys think?
Thanks for your help.

It's difficult to find much enthusaist info about Cartier online -- been trying to educate myself as well -- but at first glance the movement looks fine per WatchBase, and seems to line up with this Tank Chronograph. But man, that's beat up for a watch that's only a few years old.

I was looking at the MC when I was pondering a square dial recently. Nothing stands out as suspicious to me, but I鈥檓 no expert. That one looks as if it鈥檚 been lying in the road for some time - wonder what the story is there?
The crystal looks intact - maybe NASA should have used sapphire after all
