SOURCE: Removing crown and reattaching arms
I dont think you have to remove the crown to get to the arms. If you observe cleanly you will notice that the arms are held in place by a latch on the side. That is what you have to remove to replace the arms. Good Luck!
SOURCE: Fake or not
Generally you have to open the watch to see the movement but a lot of fakes are plain workmanship flaws.
A real Cartier will not be made from base metal. It will be made from stainless steel or precious metal.
A real Cartier will most likely be built with screws in the band instead of cotter pins.
When you pull the crown to set there will be no play in the set lever. In other words when you spin it, it will begin to turn the hand immediately and there will be a slight resistance. It will not feel loose.
As stated, the best way to tell is to look at the movement. Cartier uses a high grade Swiss movement most likely marked ETA.

As long as it's not a strap exclusive to your watch, you should be able to take it to any jeweler who sells watches or a watch selling kiosk in a mall. I wouldn't take it to a store like Wal-Mart, just because they have no requirements for their employee's to know a crown from a clasp, for them to work in the jewelry area.

you will need to open the watch back and look at the movement near the where the stem enters the movement (you need to be very cautious doing this ) near the the stem you should see an arrow pointing to small hole you will need to use a pin or a need to place inside and push down. In the meantime you will have to pull out the watch crown and stem slowly . Sometimes the holes are not marked but are placed very close to where the the stem enters the movement.
When you are done press the same release tab ( the hole) and slide the crown all the way.
