The top button is for chronograph function and puts the chronograph seconds hand in motion. The bottom button is for resetting chronograph seconds hand to zero.
Do as follows:
1) push the top button once- seconds hand starts moving,
2) push the top button once more- seconds hand stops,
3) push the bottom button once- seconds hand returns to zero.
You can repeat as many times as you like- seconds hand will allways start the countdown from zero.
Depending on what movement your watch has(mechanical or quartz), there can be more variations, but the basics are as described.
If you need more info, supply full info of your watch(make, model, numbers, etc.), please.

Hello James,

I couldn't find an online documentation of the manual you are looking. But I did find instructions with a video on how to set the date/time of your watch here:

I have a Cartier Tank Francaise, and the clasp seems to be loose, as it keeps opening up. The watch is about 10 years old already.

replace the clasp, I see it all the time in this model watch. I usually charge $50.00 for the clasp for these watches, It can be adjusted but it will loosen within the next year or less.

I just received a Cartier tank Francaise Mens

mcdevito75 here, The easiest way to check the authentisity of your Cartier watch is by a jeweler, try to find a small watch repair jeweler over a fancy place which may charge you. You can also check Cartier watches on ebay, or simply type in Cartier watch on the search of your computers home page. The jeweler is best though, specially if your not that familiar with watches. the little I know tells me the Cartier name on the face should be Staright all the letters exactky the same (CARTIER) and all the hour and minute markers the exact same.

Ladies wrist watch Cartier Water resistant Swiss made 2301 cc708177 is this genuine

The only way I know of finding this out is to take it to a Cartier dealer and let them examine it.

I was told by one jeweler I took an forgery of an expensive watch that it is common practice to destroy any forgeries, so unless you are prepared to loose the watch (is it working OK?), then it might be a risky option.

If you bought it cheaply, then is unlikely that it is genuine (I picked up my forgery in a jumble sale rubbish heap).
