I purchased a wedding ring and band and it is discolored supposed to be gold but it fading and I am trying to get a form of some sort I have a smart protection plan what do I do now it was purchased like three months ago

A genuine Cartier ring will be stamped on the back with Cartier's logo, the jewelry's metal type (Au 750 or 750 for 18k gold or Pt 950 or 950 for platinum), the ring size in mm, and a unique serial number. The stamp should be evenly spaced and, of course, free of any spelling mistakes.

Best to you

hi, try calling the resort and tell them the issue- they should contact vendor--gold plated so it wont last-- was it under 30 bucks?

You can replace this band with any other leather band that will fit the mm specifications of the watch.

If you are familiar and comfortable with eBay, you can order a band off of eBay. However, the only way to buy a watch band and be sure it is authentic Cartier is to buy it directly from Cartier or an authorized dealer.

Try this web site, they specialise in watch straps so should be able to sort one out for you.

This sort of information is only likely to be available from an authorised dealer.

If you go to the Boluva web site, you will be able to use their dealer locator to find the one nearest you.

This is a common problem with all watches with rubber or leather straps, not just with Ironman. In fact, there isn't anything our experts can do, as the responsibility is entirely on watch band producers. We just can hope that when the nano technologies will develop to the higher level, there will be a possibility to produce brand new materials yet unknown to human. These materials will have no wear and tear at all and everyone will be happy with forever lasting bands, shoes, e.t.c. For a while we can only wait. By the way - if you will buy Casio, it will make no difference, as all watch straps are made by using same technologies and chemical formulae. One of my friends went very upset for the same reason as you, so, I did find a solution for him using piece of scrapped copper pipe. This is how you do that: Measure that small loop of your watch band and find or buy the piece of copper pipe of same size. Cut off 1cm piece of the pipe and file off any imperfections, then polish it if needed. Get an old leather belt, fold it into half and put the copper ring in between, then flatten it with hammer. Do it step by step, always checking that there is enough space for band and band end to go through the newly formed copper loop. When flattened enough, spray the loop with band matching paint and leave to dry. Respray if necessary. Now you are done and this loop will last very long time.
Rate me, plz.

Hi Kap2000

I know it's frustrating and I work in the industry the only thing I can suggest is to a Contact the manufacturer directly or try ebay for replacement bands? and Then rob the buckle off the new one to fit the old, so you still have the gift you gave to your husband?

Model numbers would be useful if you wanted to email me I can try and help out further? (however in australia!)

If your watch band have UV sensitive pigmentation in it, there is nothing you can do, but buy the new band.
Find your nearest jeweller and ask to clean watch band in ultrasonic cleaner for 1 hour. If this kind of cleaning doesn't help, that means your watch band is UV sensitive and is and will be discolouring more and more by the time.
Alternatively you can try to clean it with the lighter fluid (ZIPPO). Soak a soft cloth in to lighter fluid and clean the band. Start with a small area inside band to make sure the fluid is not reacting as dissolver, as some resins react quite vigorously and tend to transform into chewing gum sort of state.
And again- if this cleaning doesn't help, the band is UV sensitive and discolouring is taking place.
That discolouring is happening becouse some of the colour pigments used in resin manufacture are sensitive to ultraviolet light and when exposed to sunlight or daylight, they react in a chemical
way, changing molecular structure, wich we see as the colour change.This process can not be reversed and this is why the band can not be cleaned.
Do not forget to rate please.

bring it back to store . or look up goldsmiths in your area. joe
