Q: What is the Cartier Pasha C 35mm Ref W31043M7?
A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made Cartier wristwatch featuring a 35mm stainless steel case and bracelet, a black dial with date, and the Pasha’s signature screw‑down crown cap. This example is in very good condition and comes as a full set with original box and certificate.

Q: What movement does this watch use and how long does the battery last?
A: This piece uses a Swiss quartz movement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage. A professional watchmaker should confirm the exact battery type for this specific watch and perform the replacement to protect the seals and finish.

Q: How do I set the time and date on the Pasha C quartz?
A: Unscrew the crown cap to access the crown. Pull the crown to the first position to set the date, and the second position to set the time. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown back in and screw the cap down securely.

Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it?
A: Pasha models were designed with practical water resistance when new, but water resistance on vintage watches is not guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering or submersion. Always ensure the crown cap is fully secured and have gaskets checked by a qualified watchmaker if light splash resistance is desired.

Q: Will it fit my wrist and can the bracelet be resized?
A: The bracelet fits up to approximately 19 cm as listed. We can help size the bracelet for your wrist, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability. Contact us with your wrist measurement for guidance.

Q: Is the 35mm Pasha C unisex and how does it wear?
A: Yes—35mm offers a balanced, refined presence that suits many small to medium wrists and is widely worn unisex. The clean black dial and steel bracelet make it versatile for everyday and dress wear.

Q: How often should a quartz Cartier be serviced?
A: Replace the battery every 2–3 years and have the seals and water‑resistance checked at the same time. A full service is typically only needed if there are issues (e.g., moisture, timekeeping problems, or crown/cap wear). Store the watch away from magnets, moisture and harsh chemicals.

Q: Can I change to a strap instead of the bracelet?
A: Strap options exist for Pasha C models, though compatibility (lug width/end‑links) varies by reference. We’re happy to advise on suitable straps for this exact W31043M7 and can confirm specifications before you purchase alternatives.

Q: What is included and what is the condition of this watch?
A: This is a full set with original box and certificate. Overall condition is very good inside and out; the hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful vintage wear. Please review the photos and description for the best overview.

Q: Is it authentic and do you offer a warranty and secure shipping?
A: A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item and owns all listed watches. We provide a 12‑month mechanical warranty on the movement, secure insured DHL shipping, 0% customs fees for EU buyers, and a 14‑day full refund policy.
