A Santos de Cartier is the kind of watch you buy once and keep forever.
Which is exactly why fakes are everywhere.
If you ever want to sanity-check one, here’s the easiest guide.
Real Cartier numerals are crisp, clean, and spaced evenly in the classic Cartier font.
If they look blurry or one number appears to be socially distancing from the others, that’s a red flag.
The back of a real Santos has a neat, deep engraving with the correct info.
Authentic ones show “Swiss made” and a serial number.
If it looks lightly scratched on, crooked, too shiny, or weird… no ma’am.
Cartier is obsessed with clean flathead screws.
If the screws on the bezel look uneven or like a stamped imitation (like they don’t actually do anything), it’s probably not real.
A real Cartier watch has weight.
If it feels light like a toy watch or like something you’d get from a claw machine… don’t even bother.
Watches are expensive, and buying them online can feel like a leap of faith with no one to catch you.
But on SWRL, every single watch goes through double authentication.

So when you buy Cartier on SWRL, you actually get Cartier, not “Cartier-ish.”
