You can also try and pop the backs. The fakes usually come off super easily. Also, the one with diamonds looks really uneven. Cartier uses beautifully matched stones so depending on lighting that’s a pretty easy tell on the one.
Agree, any decent jeweler can tell you immediately.

Thank you. I did some research & they passed every test for real. I do agree with you that I should take them over to Cartier to look at. That would be the best thing to do.
Thanks

Whoa...Your watches, but I sure wouldn’t take them to Cartier until you’ve taken them to a quality jeweler to look at. I have no idea if Cartier will even comment or authenticity or if they confiscate counterfeits which I believe they have the right to do.
IMO what you should do if to take them to a fine jeweler and they’ll be able to make a call immediately. If they confirm authenticity then you can professionally authenticate each one for $7.50 prior to selling, if you’re selling them.
IMO Cartier is best having nothing to do with this process unless you first determine that they are authentic but need repairs and you choose Cartier to do the repairs which will be incredibly expensive. This one I know from experience. I can’t believe what I pay them for a battery replacement but no one has ever touched my watch but them, and I’d rather not change that although I think about it.

The jeweler would need to remove the back,they have a special tool for that, and check the mechanism for the Cartier stamp,that is not cost effective for fakes.
