Where to buy the best Cartier Ballon Bleu? You may get an answer from many people saying that AF has the best ones, I also thought so in the past, but now I do not know how to answer this question, please check the pictures comparison between an AF Ballon Bleu and a real one.
First, on the dial. The left is from AF, the right one is genuine. On the center of the dial, the patterns on genuine watch are more obvious and deeper.
Second, on the center of the dial, the circle on genuine seems to be slightly bigger.
Third, the blue on the hands has slight color difference when observing from various angles.
On the replica, the Cabochon Blue Sapphire is thicker.
At 7:00, the “CARTIER” printing on the replica is thinner.
On the case back, the engraving of “Cartier” is thicker on the genuine.
You can also find other differences if checking carefully. But replicas watches always can not be made to be exactly the same as genuine, that’s the truth.
In my memory, AF Cartier Ballon Bleu should not have so many flaws. Some persons in the market said the original owner of AR sold the factory to another person. The new boss decided to sell the watches at cheaper prices, of course, the quality has declined somewhat as a result.
