Carefully open the back of your watch. Authentic Cartier watches have the name Cartier engraved on the internal movements.
No, an authentic Cartier Santos 100 serial number does not typically end with "yPX." Cartier serial numbers usually consist of a combination of letters and numbers, and the format can vary. It’s essential to verify the authenticity of a Cartier watch through authorized dealers or appraisers, as counterfeit models may have incorrect serial number formats.

To verify the authenticity of your Cartier Diver watch with the serial number 153443TX, check for several key features: the quality of craftsmanship, the weight and materials used, and the presence of authentic markings and engravings. Additionally, compare it to official images from Cartier and consult with a certified watchmaker or an authorized Cartier dealer for a professional assessment. It's also important to ensure that the serial number is consistent with known production ranges for Cartier watches.
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.

To identify a fake Cartier watch, examine the craftsmanship and materials; genuine Cartier watches are known for their high-quality construction and precise details. Check the engraving on the case back and the logo; authentic models have crisp, clear engravings, while fakes often have poor quality markings. Additionally, look for the weight of the watch; genuine Cartier pieces are usually heavier due to the quality of materials used. Finally, verify the serial number with Cartier's official records if possible.
The Oliver Peoples "Victory" model sunglasses are no longer in production. I was able to find a seller of authentic Victory 58 sunglasses on eBay about two years ago (2010) for a price of around 178 US dollars. As of today I can no longer find any seller of authentic Victory model sunglasses.
Despite rumors of Chanel, the sunglasses were authentic Versace.
To identify a fake Cartier purse, check the quality of the materials and craftsmanship; authentic items use high-quality leather and precise stitching. Look for the logo, which should be clear and properly aligned, with no misspellings. Additionally, inspect the hardware for weight and finish; genuine Cartier purses have solid, well-finished metal components. Lastly, verify the authenticity through the serial number, which should match the brand's records.
