Cartier Roadster W62041V3 SS Watch Black Dial you have thousands of dollars to throw away on a watch and you come here for free advise??,go to a jeweller

I believe the Roadster uses the 2892 movement and as such should wind in either direction. Find a competent watchmaker and ask him/her to check the automatic winding mechanism for proper rotation. I am assuming this is a real Cartier.

If the watch is quartz its a cell replacement,use a watchmaker on a watch of this value.If its an automatic watch then you may be looking at a repair/service.A watch of this quality needs regular servicing at 4 years or so as lubrication drys.For work of this nature you will need a specialist watchmaker try www.rolexrepairs.co.uk

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR WATCH TO A CARTIER STORE !! Especially if it's till under warranty !! If you or any 'regular' watch repair shop opens that watch you will destroy it's value, and they CAN tell if a non-Cartoier tech has opened it. A regular watch opening tool will scar the back of a Cartier. Normally a tune-up is $60, but you say your watch is still warrantied, no reason not to take it to Cartier. You can Google Cartier stores to find one closest to you, get their number & call them and they'll advise you further. I urge you NOT to they & open that watch yourself ! You're only looking at a few dollars to insure & ship it, just make sure you wrap it very carefully, lots & lots of bubble wrap. A tip: wrap the watch in several layers of bubble wrap/tape snugly, then use a clean hand towel that you snugly wrap clear shipping tape over top of, it'll provide alot of safety for your valuable timepiece. You must insure it, don't skimp on that, you could end up regretting it bitterly. Hope this helps you~

the bob weight should rotate 360 it sounds like a small screw as come loose and jammed the weight just see if you can nudge it from side to side to see if it releases it, if not you will need to remove the weight to see whats stopping it going round..

I will give you the generic answer as I have not actually removed a Cartier buckle. Most buckles use a small bar called a spring bar that goes through the band and "tang". The ends of the bar are like a plunger in that with a small fork like instrument or small screw driver you can collapse the bar and move it out of the clasp. The rest is very obvious. Replacement is the opposite of removal. A fairly simple procedure for most people.

Would your friend give you a 9000 dollar watch? Cartier is Swiss. Any indication your watch is made somewhere else means it is fake.
