Ebay will protect you if it is a fake so you should call Cartier to verify the service done there. Hopefully they will do that over phone but you may have to go in. They keep excellent records on each watch by the serial numbers. They will have all the records and you can also transfer this watch to your name and address. Good luck, usually the fakes don't provide so much info on the watch the way yours did but go ahead and register it and review the records to be sure.

Christine93, Seller could give good serial # number fake watch. Contact Cartier on Bond street with serial # to make sure it was serviced and have them ship. EWorth it to know it is real. Many fakes are out there. If real cheap usually a fake.

Cartier Model Numbers

From what I can tell, the major differences between the watches:

W20011C4: Quartz Movement (battery)
W20058C4: Automatic Movement

W20011C4: Case Thickness - 6.7mm
W20058C4: Case Thickness - 8.3mm

W20011C4: Date at 3:00 position
W20058C4: Date at 6:00 position

W20011C4: Newer Model
W20058C4: Older Model

The W20058C4 is the older watch and will be reflected in the price, as compared to the W20011C4. However, it does have an automatic movement which is much more desirable. It really depends on your taste/budget/preference.

Be very careful about purchasing a secondhand timepiece. There are so many fakes out there. Purchase one from a recognized Cartier dealer or one that guarantees the authenticity of the watch. Do not be lured in by prices that seem too good to be true.

I have a cartier watch and want to know if it is real. The back says Cartier. Plaque org 20m and swiss # 4 05626. On the inside on the back it has a # 15705. On the back face of the watch it says cartier...

  • Visit an authorized Cartier watch dealer at a high-end jewelry store. Use a jeweler's loupe to inspect the Cartier logo, the dial, the hour, minute and second hands, color, case back and the movement, which is the small electronic or mechanical device that runs the watch. Also examine the bracelet or strap for future comparisons of Cartiers at other dealers. Obtain a copy of the Cartier sales brochure or catalog and read it.
  • Inspect the movement by asking the seller to remove the case back to view it. It will be engraved with the Cartier name. If the seller balks at the request, don't buy the watch. The seller may have something to hide, according to Spotcounterfeits.co.uk.
  • Consider the heft of the Cartier if you are considering purchasing a watch from an independent seller. Knockoff Cartiers are considerably lighter than the genuine article because they are made with cheap materials. Examine the Cartier logo to see if it's spelled correctly. Knockoffs usually originate from non-English speaking countries where English is not the primary language and workmanship is poor.
  • Drop a tiny bit of water on the crystal. Cartiers feature a sapphire glass crystal, in which the water beads on contact. If the water smears, the crystal is a cheap imitation.
  • Examine the Cartier trademark polished cabochon gemstone on the crown. The stone should be set firmly in the crown but not glued on. Use a jeweler's loupe to look for traces of glue.
  • Examine the Cartier logo of twin Cs on the case back, dial and strap buckle. The logos should be gracefully produced with no rough stamping.

    Cartier, real or fake?

    Best way to tell is to open the watch and see who the manufacturer of the mechanism is. I think Cartier would use ETA movements. If it's some cheap plastic, no (0) jewel mechanism then it's fake for sure.

    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.
