Weight

The first things are needed to check is the weight of the Cartier watch. Basically for the genuine, the timepieces are utterly heavy because of the structured materials created in it. Most counterfeit Cartier watch, have light weight.

Inscription

To determine whether the Cartier watch is fake or real is you need to do the inspection by removing the case back, you can ask for the professional or go to the watch shop to open the case back, from the case back, you can see the genuine Cartier watch, it’s have ‘CARTIER’ word engraved and perfectly spelt with the first ‘r’ included on the movement. Many of the fakes omit the first ‘r’ in Cartier, which actually will read as Catier.

‘CARTIER’ word is engraved on either the 7 o’clock or 10 o’clock markers. In addition, the SWISS MADE words is engraved under the 6 o’clock marker. it’s certain to be fake if the watch has no CARTIER or SWISS MADE engraved on it.

Scratch-proof glass.

Real Cartier watches always have scratch-proof glass and you certainly won’t find this quality material in the counterfeit. You can drop the water on the surface tension on the crystal. A smeared film of water will almost always pull together on crystals made from sapphire because the surface is smooth, The glass is also non-smear so if any water droplets were to splash it, they would simply roll off. On fakes you would see the water smear across the face. so the water will not pull together.

Screws

Genuine Cartier watch always have identical flathead screws holding down the case. The counterfeit Cartiers often have cheap snap-on cases or use Phillips head screws, which are slightly rounded.

Luminosity

The genuine Cartier watch are use a substance called LumiNova to provide the glow on the dial and hands in the dark, allows you to read the time in darkness. With a counterfeit Cartier, poor quality luminous material which makes the glow less bright than the authentic, this glow wouldn’t be anywhere near as bright.

Use a flashlight on the watch for about 30 seconds to charge it. Take it
immediately into a dark room. It should glow very bright

Gemstones

Focus on the polished gemstone, also called a cabochon stone. Genuine Cartier watch basically place the gemstone at the crown of the watch. If there’s no stone, means fake Cartier watch. The gemstone should be set into the crown and not glued on it.

Serial number

The serial number for the real Cartier watch consist two letters and six digits engraved on the back. While, sometimes fake Cartier watch don’t have serial number printed onto the watch.
