It makes for a good look that runs into the black rubber strap. The strap is patterned a bit (only at the end parts) to look like the links on the metal bracelets. The steel bracelet version of the cartier replica pasha de cartier chronograph watches has a slightly smaller version of the bracelet used on the standard Roadster. A curious style bracelet with long, thin metal links.Dial is very impressive, and totally Cartier. The sapphire crystal, while curved a bit, is exceptionally clear. Lots of AR coating and a perfectly even crystal thickness ensures a totally glare and distortion free look in most viewing angles. Other watch makers need to look to Cartier to model their crystals and AR coatings. You'd barely known anything was over the dial at times. Using a slightly more *** version of the Roadster dial style, the Roman numerals and inner hour marker ring make the cartier replica pasha de cartier power reserve watches enjoyable to read. Overall the dial on the Roadster S is very similar to that on the Roadster. There is a new outline on the ring of where the bullet shaped magnifier lens used to be to retain that shape. I love that Cartier uses a black colored disc for the date with a silver colors font.
This version is the most sporty piece by far - likely one of the most sporty watches Cartier has ever released. Light, and agile on the wrist, it is a good watch for activity. The rubber strap can be adjusted to be tight, *** for a secure fit. Just a few years ago Cartier started to play with aDLC - a slightly different application of DLC (diamond like carbon) coating. It goes over steel (or other metals) and makes it black (or ostensibly other colors as well). aDLC is good because (if done right) it gives a uniform look, and is very scratch resistant. To my knowledge, Cartier doesn't "do black" often, and aDLC is one of their first ventures into having black timepieces. Their first was an aDLC coated version of a Santos cartier replica pasha seatimer 2006 watches. Only the rubber strapped version of the Roadster S comes with the aDLC coated bezel. It has a nicely brushed finish to contrast with the polished case.
