Cartier uses microscript embedded in the roman numerals on the face of their watches, usually the VII or the X numeral. The microscript cannot be seen with the naked eye so it is a way of determining if the watch is genuine or a fake. However, it isn't foolproof. Apparently Cartier started doing this sometime in the late 70's or early 80's so vintage watches may not have it. I imagine that it's also possible that a good replica may possibly have the microscript.

How do you tell if a Cartier watch is fake?

I specialize in buying and selling Cartier watches. I've seen fakes with all the correct marks and a serial number, but that doesn't mean they are legitimate. If the watch was registered by Cartier when it was sold or if it has been sent in to Cartier for service Cartier will be able to verify it is authentic, but be aware that if the watch was not originally sold in North America or was not registered when sold (fairly common) it can still be authentic. Some sellers offer the Cartier quartz model for sale and only state that the watch has a quartz movement, but fail to mention if it has a Cartier quartz movement. If it has a replacement movement in it the watch is technically authentic, but not original and is not worth as much as one with an original or a genuine Cartier replacement movement. The biggest mistake I've seen amateur Cartier buyers make is using the Cartier micro-script signature on the Roman numeral to verify authenticity. Indeed this is a good indicator, but not the best indicator as there were many Cartier watches produced prior to the technology required to make the micro-script possible and not all Cartier watches have Roman numerals for the dial to have the micro-script signature. Furthermore, the micro-script is not always located at the same place and if the dial has been refinished it may not appear at all. Another common problem is actually caused by language differences, i.e. "all original versus "authentic". A watch can be authentic without being all original. Unless someone has owned the watch since it was new and it has never left their sight it is impossible for them to state the watch is "all original" as a part could have been replaced at some point in time -- even without their knowledge. Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller even if you have to pay slightly more money.

What are 'script errors'?

Example. You are writing a play for school. The actual writing part is called the script, script errors are words that are spelled wrong, or scenes that don't follow and there-fore re-writes are necessary.


What are the steps to writing a script?

First you need a set of characters, a conflict, a theme, a situation and a resolution. Develop your story and write an outline. With your outline, you can begin expanding your idea into three acts, and write your script. Using a proper script format, write 90 to 120 pages -- one page equals about one minute of film time. With your completed draft, you can begin re-writing your script, so that you can make your script the best it can be. You can expect to craft multiple re-writes before your script is at its best.
