Retail price - $6,500. It is comparable to the GMT II c price.

Hey! We Puerto Ricans are everywhere!! hahaha

I am still undecided. I am comparing the Roadster GMT extra large, vs this new calibre model. I have to wait until it arrives at the store. Can't wait.
The only thing that has me thinking about this watch is the location of the saphire crystal with respect to the vessel. I looks like it is sunken into the watch. The bezel comes out a bit, then goes down into the watch in a 25 degree angle before it meets the saphire crystal. Sort of like creating a vase. I have to see it in person to see how it looks. Other than that this watch is amazing.

I really like its simplistic appearance. It looks very elegant. I just picked up a Roadster that I can't stop looking at. : - )

I've had it on my wrist, and it's a fantastic watch. Beautifully finished, in-house movement, nice size & heft...a real winner!

Love it!!!! It is a great watch. The size is perfect. Very light due to the saphire crystal in the back. very thin. i think it goes great with my gmt master iic.

I've always thought Cartiers to be very elegant.

Looks great. Shape reminds me of a PAM Luminor. I have a feeling this one could become a bit of a hit.

Interesting...my wife was just telling me about this watch. Cartier always seems to be able to mix bold and dressy/elegant very well.

I am very late to this party.
I saw this watch on the back of a magazine and fell in love with it!.
I went to the store to see it first hand and love it even more.
I was wondering if anyone on this forum knows where the best deal on one of these can be made, I have found to reputable jewelers that will sell it for $5500 but I know there has to be a better deal out there......

Great watch! I just tried one on at a local AD -- beautiful on the wrist. I really like the idea that they manufactured the movement. Enjoy it.

Cartier's new in-house movements are quite nice. They're a rising industry juggernaut.
