Interested to hear opinions as to what people prefer of these two models – the steel case with black ADLC bezel OR the all ADLC version.

I am swaying toward the steel, as I like the fact it comes with a bracelet option which the all ADLC doesn’t. Does anyone have any alternative views or other considerations when choosing?

This will be my first Cartier and very excited!

WSSA0037 vs WSSA0039

[UPDATE (5/22/25): I just learned that having a third party replace the battery will void the warranty (we have about 4 years left on the 8-year warranty).

I’m inclined to go ahead and do the third-party battery change anyway.

But I thought I’d check: would it make more sense to preserve the warranty?]

Hi Everyone, my wife’s Ronde de Cartier needs a battery change.

I just called the AD where we bought it for her–and they said it would need to be sent to Cartier. This would take 8-10…

I have dealt with Cartier in the past, and in order for them to sell me a leather strap for my Ronde, they wanted me to send the actual watch in to them (I bought a Delugs strap instead). Therefore I am anticipating having to send in my new Française in order for them to sell me a link or…

Help sourcing a Tank Française WSTA0074 bracelet link or two?

Hi folks. The Tank a Guichet from WW this year caught my eye. Who knows if I will be lucky enough to be offered one. But I was wondering if this is a piece that will hold value or go down over time (talking about the more standard Guichets in the lineup)?

Reason I ask is because I would consider buying it used instead of new if the value will drop (if that’s even a possibility for me). I’ve seen some conflicting amounts for recent Guichet sales from relatively recent production runs, so…

Tank A Guichet Question

I walked in a Cartier store in Atlanta to see the black Santos I person. They didn’t have one in stock but I tried on there large Santos in white and fell in love with it. It came home with me that day.
