You can start from the following aspects to identify the authenticity of Cartier:
(1) Observe the LOGO and text of Cartier watches
Generally, the most easily exposed fake watches are: LOGO, especially the LOGO on the surface. You can use the 4x eyepiece to carefully observe the workmanship of Cartier watches. If it is a metal LOGO, the real watch is generally as bright as new, while the fake watch LOGO has rough edges, and some parts are irregular; if it is a lacquered watch, the edges of the real watch are smooth and burr-free, while the fake watch has a slight trace of melting on the edges of the lacquered characters, and the font There are shades, and you can see more clearly with an 8x eyepiece. Traces of handwriting can be easily detected using an 8x eyepiece.
(2) Observation mirror and hands
Famous Cartier watches generally use sapphire mirrors. With the advancement of technology, fake watches have begun to follow suit. Fake watches with sapphire mirrors are generally easy to spot, because in order to reduce costs, fake watches do not coat the mirror with an anti-reflective layer, let alone double-layer coating, so the reflection is serious under light. Although it does not melt even if it drips water, Just shine it with ultraviolet light, and the reflection will be extremely serious; because the real watch has an anti-reflective coating, it will not reflect much under strong light, and will have purple or blue glare.
If you carefully observe the fake watch hands with the eyepiece, you can find tiny traces, which are the tweezers marks left during installation. You will not see similar traces on the real watch at all. The shape of the hands is obviously different from that of the real watch. The second hand of the fake watch is rough and relatively short. This is the biggest problem. The second hand of the real watch is generally longer than or equal to the length of the minute hand. Fake blue steel watch hands are usually coated with zinc pigment and are a bit transparent
(3) Observe the crown head
The crown head of a fake Cartier watch is the easiest to reveal. The crowns of fake watches all use the same process, and the polished coating is uneven. Whether it is gram-plated or gold-plated, there are always different shades. If you look closely, you can still see the white part. If a more realistic watch case is not easily noticeable, you can carefully observe the crown part. In addition, the crowns of Cartier watches have their own specifications, while fake watches are almost the same. This can be easily seen by just looking at the appearance of the real watch.
(4) Observe the back cover, serial number, and movement of the watch
The back covers of fake Cartier watches are not made according to the organization of famous watches. Some have the original screw caps made into pressed ones. Hi, friends who are interested may wish to pay attention to it themselves. Some watch backs are octagonal or have several screws. In order to save costs, fake watches will make nondescript screw-cap shapes.
(5) Observe the Cartier watch chain
You can clearly see the traces of handwork in the workmanship of the Cartier watch chain, which must be a fake watch. Although some fake watch straps with butterfly buckles are made more delicately, they have rough and unpolished details in the moving corners. As long as you are careful, you can find flaws.
(6) Weigh the weight of the Cartier watch
Nowadays, in order to ensure a high degree of imitation, lead rings are used in fake watches to ensure the weight of the fake watches, but you can try it The weight of other parts, such as the bracelet, is relatively lighter. At the same time, generally fake Cartier watches are relatively light. Even if they are "ballasted" by a lead ring, they still feel strange in the hand.
