The quick release part of my cartier roadster strap keeps undoing itself

My watch is not yet 2 years old and still under warranty. The quick release part of the strap seems to undo itself and my watch falls off. Is this a common fault or have I just got a faulty strap? Should I get it replaced?

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR WATCH TO A CARTIER STORE !! Especially if it's till under warranty !! If you or any 'regular' watch repair shop opens that watch you will destroy it's value, and they CAN tell if a non-Cartoier tech has opened it. A regular watch opening tool will scar the back of a Cartier. Normally a tune-up is $60, but you say your watch is still warrantied, no reason not to take it to Cartier. You can Google Cartier stores to find one closest to you, get their number & call them and they'll advise you further. I urge you NOT to they & open that watch yourself ! You're only looking at a few dollars to insure & ship it, just make sure you wrap it very carefully, lots & lots of bubble wrap. A tip: wrap the watch in several layers of bubble wrap/tape snugly, then use a clean hand towel that you snugly wrap clear shipping tape over top of, it'll provide alot of safety for your valuable timepiece. You must insure it, don't skimp on that, you could end up regretting it bitterly. Hope this helps you~

SOURCE: I need to change the

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

  • Pull the crown of the analog/date Cartier watch and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise until you see the date advance in the display window at about 1 a.m.
  • 2 Use the quick date set method by rotating the crown counterclockwise after reaching 1 a.m. until the hands reach 7:30 p.m. Then again rotate the crown clockwise back to 1 a.m. Repeat the procedure until the correct date is displayed.
  • 3 Adjust the date forward or backward 12 hours if your Cartier watch changes the date at the noon hour.

    Roadster not winding properly?

    Since the watch has a quartz movement, no winding is needed.

    If your watch has stopped, return it to Cartier to have it replaced.

    (to see their web site entry for this watch, go to http://www.cartier.co.uk/#/show-me/timepieces/w62016v3-roadster-de-cartier-watch-small-model .

    My Cartier Roadster does not keep time in my watch winder, all other brands work except this one. Any idea why, should the winder be set at clockwise, counter-clockwise, or bi-directional.

    I believe the Roadster uses the 2892 movement and as such should wind in either direction. Find a competent watchmaker and ask him/her to check the automatic winding mechanism for proper rotation. I am assuming this is a real Cartier.

    I need a leather band for my male cartier roadster

    mcdevito75 here, Ebay is your best bet for the Leather band for your Cartier watch, but! you:ll need to know the MM size of the band. Measure the width of the band just as it hooks onto your watch, use a ruler, most rulers have both the MM scale and American, if your ruler has only the American mmeasurement use the online Standard to MM calculator for the MM size from the American or standard measurement. Carefully measure the width of the band just as it hooks onto the watch, count the segments in the ruler either each MM or each 16 th of an inch, convert to MM then look on ebay for the strap.

    How to take the buckle off the leather strap from cartier leather strap

    I will give you the generic answer as I have not actually removed a Cartier buckle. Most buckles use a small bar called a spring bar that goes through the band and "tang". The ends of the bar are like a plunger in that with a small fork like instrument or small screw driver you can collapse the bar and move it out of the clasp. The rest is very obvious. Replacement is the opposite of removal. A fairly simple procedure for most people.

    How to change the strap from metal to leather on a Cartier Roadster W62025V3

    There are very special, expensive tools for taking off Cartier watch straps, so I would not recommend even thinking about attempting this by yourself for fear of devaluing your watch. I could instruct you on how to do it, but you will not have the proper tools. I highly recommend taking it to a PROFESSIONAL watch maker, not K-Mart or a jeweler.
