Replicas of Cartier watches have several outstanding flaws that have persisted for years. The most obvious flaw is the use of "electric blue" hands instead of the more subtle "blued-steel" hands that Cartier uses. This makes spotting most Cartier fakes fairly easy. If the hands are a bright blue then it's probably a replica.

Case and band materials are also of a poorer quality, making gold examples stand out like a sore thumb. Read more in the Replica Watch Report!
