So I have been reading some negative reviews about this watch on-line and I want to set the record straight. First of all, the thing turns heads. It is simple, yet perfect. It's not so big (light those obnoxious Breitling watches with 6 knobs) that it feels uncomfortable or gaudy. If you are willing to pop down $5000 for a watch, this is the one for you. Although it scratches easily, the Cartier Roadster really is a timeless classic.

i have had this watch for a few years now and have had it sent back to the factory twice. Currently i am having a very difficult time pulling the crown out of the watch to set the time and date. I would not recommend this watch for the money.

I have only had the watch now for 2 months but so far so good. Very impressive, simple and elegant. Much better price than in Switzerland for the same watch.

I considered buying this watch and asked a good friend who owns one. He said his watch stopped working after 5 yrs. Cartier said the watch has to be sent in for preventive maintenance every 3-5 yrs at a cost of $700. I don't think I want to spend $5000 on a watch where I need to fork over $700 every 3 years. I went ahead and bought an Omega instead.

Everything here is all about the watch,,how about the purchase from AMazon.com,,any good and bad experiences,,,are these authentic watches their selliing?

I have owned this watch for almost 4 years, and I love it. It feels great, it harmoniously marries heft-with-elegance, and the band is very comfortable (no pinching hair/skin). I have often been complimented on it. I wouldn't have imagined myself as a $5K/watch guy before (bought it at a charity auction), but I have to say, it has been an excellent purchase. I have had no problems with the watch mechanically. This year the clasp closure loosened up a little too much, but a local jeweller fixed it in 5 minutes without charge. I have no hesitation to recommend this watch fully.

There is no shortage of praise for this watch. And that is the problem. This is a mass advertised watch unlike other Cartiers of the past. The result? Any status conscious person with a job is buying one and making this Cartier a common sight. One of the things that makes Cartier watches special, besides the understated elegance is that they are less ubiquitous than Rolex. Not anymore. Also, this model is a little too bulky looking for my taste in a Cartier; Breitling and Rolex maybe, Cartier, no.
