Regretful Cartier Calibre Purchase

[dongfang richard]

Stepped into shop today and really made a big mistake into purchasing this piece brand new.

I am having some post purchase regret *emo*

Pictures of my new baby to share with all our forum forum members.

BTW, does anyone know where to get the leather strap and deployment buckle for this piece? The strap size is 23mm.

Hey... It's a fine watch, being an in-house movt... I have one too!

Bro, why the regret?

[And6688]

Why regret, it's a nice watch! But I prefer in leather strap for tis model...sibei swee lehz

nice watch what..why the dissonance bro?

[dongfang richard]

Dear all, I usually buy watches pre-owned. Buying this new piece really hurts. That is why I am regretting.

I was comparing with the bracelet and letather strap price which only differs by a little bit. might as well buy the bracelet for a long run. This is why I am looking for the leather strap and deployment buckle from cartier or after market to fit it on.

Just wondering if anyone have any knowledge of changing the bracelet to a leather strap of 23mm. Anyone could share views on this?

No need regret. You get virgin night...priceless!

For such weird size strap, you may want to get JnS to custom for you. Still cheaper then oem.

Money aside, IMHO, this is a very nice watch - distinctly Cartier.

If you bought it from Cartier Boutique without any discount, then it is really regretful. If not, it is not unwise to buy new. I bought few watches BNIB also, no regret!

Thank you very much for all your comments.

I feel much better already.

Felt the pinch but at least there is still some discounts from ADs.

Got mine for Cortina

Don't feel bad, sometime it's worth the money spend, just like friends told me not to buy the IWC because it is so thick and rubber straps this and that.. I still went forward and get it just because it looks pleasant from my perspective.. Be happy you have a fine looking watch.. treasure it..
