[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 309709, member: 51"]Coincidence, I watched a Youtube last night where the British Antiques Roadshow was showing the difference between 4 watches -- 3 of them fake, one real. Spoiler: The Cartier was one of the fakes. [MEDIA=youtube]hsuAObtByWo[/MEDIA] Doesn't mean these cufflinks are real or fake, but as Debora said, take a good look at the box for starters. Also, if this was sold by some kind of person who runs a weekly flea market booth, I would suspect they would have looked into the authenticity of these already. Most sellers have heard of "Cartier". Additionally, if they were still sitting there, with the very visible "Cartier" on the open box, one has to assume that other buyers passed on them for one reason or another. Not a definite, but something to take into account unless you were digging through things the minute the place opened. From the photos, as mentioned the backs looks worn. I would be suspect. Please continue to research though. I don't have them in the hand and certainly hope they are the real deal. I remember buying two Rolex watches a decade ago with high hopes (luckily not expensive).
