Hey everyone, it’s been a while! Today, I want to share a little adventure I had recently. You see, I’ve been eyeing this Cartier Ballon Bleu de Cartier W6920071 watch for ages. It’s a beauty, 33mm, automatic, just classic Cartier. So, I finally decided to pull the trigger and hunt one down.
First things first, I hit up the usual online marketplaces. I spent hours scrolling through listings, comparing prices, and reading seller reviews. I found some “great deals” on used options, and the prices were all over the place, some around $3,819, others a bit higher. Some sellers even offered free shipping, which was tempting. I saw a lot of listings for the Cartier Ballon Bleu 33 W6920071, specifically, which was exactly what I wanted. But honestly, buying a luxury watch online from a random seller made me nervous.
Then, I thought, why not check out some authorized retailers? I wanted that peace of mind, you know? I found a few stores online that claimed to be certified dealers, with some even offering a 2-year warranty. This sounded much better, but I still wanted to see the watch in person.
So, I decided to go old school and visit some specialty stores in my city. I figured this way, I could actually try on the Ballon Bleu de Cartier, see how it feels on my wrist, and get a better sense of its condition if it was pre-owned.
The first store I went to was pretty fancy. They had a huge selection of Cartier watches, including the W6920071. The salesperson was helpful, showed me the watch, and let me try it on. It was even more stunning in person. But, the price was a bit steep, and they didn’t have any pre-owned options.
I visited a couple more stores, each with its own vibe. Some were more focused on new watches, while others had a decent selection of pre-owned pieces. I saw a few Cartier Ballon Bleu 33mm watches, all in excellent condition. One store even had a W6920071 that had just gone through a quality control check, which was reassuring.
Finally, after a full day of searching, I found the one. It was a pre-owned Cartier Ballon Bleu W6920071 at a reputable store, in excellent condition, and at a price I was comfortable with. The salesperson was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I checked the diameter, 33mm, which was perfect. They even had the original steel bracelet. I pulled the trigger and bought it!
