How can I tell if a Cartier Roadster is real?

To authenticate a Cartier Roadster, remove the case back and you’ll see the brand name inscribed. You’ll also see “CARTIER” at the seven o’clock or ten o’clock markers and “SWISS MADE” under the six o’clock marker. Counterfeit watches often omit these details or incorrectly spell the brand name. Check the weight of the watch — Cartier watches are quite hefty due to the extremely high quality materials used to make the piece and if it feels too light, it’s probably a fake.
