Q: What is the Cartier Pasha Big Date 35mm Ref. 2475?
A: It’s a stainless‑steel Cartier Pasha with a 35mm case, blue dial with Arabic numerals, and an automatic movement featuring a large date display. It retains the collection’s signature screw‑down crown cap and is delivered as a full set with original box and certificate, plus extra bracelet links as stated.

Q: Which movement does it use and what is the power reserve?
A: This model is powered by a self‑winding Cartier movement (often based on a Swiss ETA calibre for this reference). Typical power reserve is around 38–42 hours. If you’d like us to confirm the exact calibre and tested reserve for this specific piece, please contact us.

Q: How do I set the time and big date, and use the Pasha crown cap?
A: Gently unscrew the protective crown cap counter‑clockwise to reveal the crown. Position 0: wind the watch (about 20–30 turns) if it has stopped. First click: quickset the big date (turn slowly); avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am. Second click: set the time, advancing past midnight to roll the date if needed. When finished, press the crown in and screw the cap back down finger‑tight to help maintain moisture resistance.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: The Pasha design was conceived with robust water protection and a screw‑down crown cap, but water resistance on vintage/pre‑owned watches cannot be guaranteed without recent gasket replacement and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best unless it has been professionally tested. Avoid swimming, showering or submersion, and always ensure the crown cap is fully secured before any exposure to moisture.

Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized?
A: The bracelet is currently sized for approximately 19–19.25 cm and this listing includes extra links. We can size the bracelet for you prior to dispatch. Additional genuine links may be sourced subject to availability; share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise options.

Q: What is included with this listing?
A: A full set as stated: original Cartier box, certificate, and extra bracelet links. Please refer to the Accessories section and photos for the exact contents.

Q: What is the condition of this watch?
A: Overall good pre‑loved condition. The dial is clean with light signs of use. Externally, there are visible scratches on the bracelet and clasp and minor marks on the case. Hardware remains shiny with expected wear on the bracelet. Please review the close‑up photos for an accurate view.

Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal and what are the dial details?
A: Most Cartier Pasha Big Date models of this reference feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. The dial is blue with Arabic numerals for excellent legibility. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal specification on this exact watch, we’re happy to verify.

Q: What accuracy and servicing should I expect from this automatic Pasha?
A: A healthy example should keep reliable time, though performance varies with age and service history. As a guide, a routine service every 5–10 years is sensible, or sooner if you notice issues (e.g., running fast/slow, low power reserve, or moisture). Keep it away from strong magnets, and wipe with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.

Q: Is it authentic, and what warranty/shipping do you offer?
A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. All watches include a 12‑month mechanical guarantee. We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers; contact us with any specific delivery or warranty questions.
