The same Cartier design comes in many sizes and metals. These are among the first things to confirm.
Stones.
If the watch has diamonds or other stones, say whether they were factory-set or added later. Added stones change how a watch is considered.
Strap or bracelet.
Note whether the strap or bracelet is original, and include any extra straps or links that came with it.

Before you enquire.
Three things that make your first conversation useful.
Find your watch reference.
Start with the details that identify your watch.
On modern Cartier watches the full reference is usually printed on the warranty card, not engraved on the case. The caseback usually carries engraved numbers that help identify the model. Photograph the caseback without opening it, and send the card if you have it.
Selling without box or papers.
Missing an item? Explain what you do have.
Box
Warranty card
Receipt
Service records
Spare links
The watch still needs an assessment of authenticity, condition and ownership. Missing documents can affect the purchase offer and the checks required.
Take useful watch photographs.
Clear, honest photographs help the first estimate.
Dial
Case sides
Caseback
Bracelet or strap
Clasp
Use soft daylight and a plain background. Show visible wear rather than hiding it. Photos support the initial discussion; they do not replace inspection.
Ready? The form takes a moment, and every field is optional.

You can still enquire. Tell us what you do have, such as a receipt or service record. Missing documents can affect the offer and the checks needed before a sale.
That depends on the exact reference, condition, originality and accompanying set. Any first estimate is subject to a physical inspection, and you decide whether to accept the final offer.
Share the details and clear photographs, discuss the estimate, then have the watch inspected. Agree the final amount, payment and handover before you part with it.
