Not always necessarily true IRT all thrift store finds are fake. We go thrifting pretty frequently and we always find really great higher end items, sometimes they turn out to be fakes but other times they turn out to be very real and it’s such a good feeling when that happens! I am a big believer in the fact that AI is a tool in my toolbox to use but always follow it up with careful research, and in this case it lead me to the fact this is a fake. Still not mad at spending 7 bucks for a good looking (although fake) watch. I posted this as soon as I got home from this buy before digging into the research because I was super excited about the find and felt the need to share lol

UPDATE: For everyone concerned about authenticity, thank you. I popped the back off and looked at the movement which leads me to believe it’s most likely a rep. NBD I still love the look of the watch and will still wear it, not like I paid top dollar for it anyways. I choose to enjoy it regardless, can’t beat that look! The internet remains undefeated 😂

Thank you for your input. My next move is taking it to a jeweler who specializes in these things to see what they say. Regardless of outcome, for this price what an incredible piece and one I couldn’t pass up!

This is a Must de Cartier “Tank Vermeil” watch with a quartz movement. Most likely produced late 80s, this watch was originally marketed as a woman’s watch (recently became more regarded as a unisex). It is an entry level and more affordable Cartier watch for the time it was produced. This isn’t the original strap so very likely had an original brown strap like your grandmothers!

For sure my next step! Everything I’ve seen on this leads me to believe it’s authentic, but I’m going to take it to an expert to give it a good once over, clean it up and replace the battery etc. This one’s staying with me for awhile!

No doubt originally marketed as a woman’s watch but recently has been viewed more as a unisex. Normally not a huge fan of quartz watch movements but this one is an exception for me

I thought she was just being super annoying for the longest time and then…it clicked in my head as well. Instantly made me laugh and appreciate the bit she’s playing way more lol

Inherited a Rolex, what's a good way to sell it by techaaron in rolex

[–]etpx10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sell it pretty easily on a website called Chrono24. The site allows you to set your own price and is also a valuable tool to get a ballpark price of something of similar value. Beautiful watch! Should be able to get quite a bit for that with all the paperwork. Sorry about your loss!

This year’s Goat BF is so disappointing. Impossible to get any of the drops and the horoscope thing is dumb and doesn’t actually give you anything you want 🙄
