No, this sounds dangerous. In the beginning this might be normal; you are supposed to check every fews days. If this persists rush to your SA to have it checked or even replaced to the new system. I nearly lost 2 of mine because of that.

Hi all! Has anyone purchase a love bracelet from FashionPhile? Definitely authentic? Any other site that has better prices? I’m skeptical about eBay.
I did. I was really buffed out it felt round on the edges. Also the imprints looked rough and bumpy too. It didn't have a certificate so I was nervous and returned it. It was probably fine but not like my other love. No problems returning though and return credit was prompt. I'd try it again if I could find a good price but definitely want a certificate. Most of their items are almost the same cost as getting a new one and that doesn't seem worth it to me. There is something special about going to the Cartier store too!

I’m dumb the screwdriver was in the pouch under the lid if the box 
but I had to contact customer service To figure that out. Also the item came directly from the Paris workshop so now I may keep it. Hmmm i do either have to get used to 3 loves, I feel like it’s a lot. And my wrists are two different sizes due to years of tennis growing up so its too big on my left arm. Predicaments!

Any way to get thoughts on the authenticity of a Cartier bracelet listed on eBay?
So mine is actually the new system
do you think it could be defective then? I ended up bringing the screwdriver with me today to work.Oh, not good news. It's normal that you have to fasten it the first few weeks. Let's cross our fingers that thereafter this issue is gone.
Thank you for sharing, though. Pls keep us posted.
Mine - the one which had the locks exchanged a month ago or so - closed well and I didn't have to fasten it ever agein.

So glad you have the screwdriver! For what it’s worth, I thought your stack with the small love in the middle was gorgeous!I’m dumb the screwdriver was in the pouch under the lid if the box
I’ve heard of others using realauthentication.com though I don’t have any personal experience with their services. I’ve also heard that you can take your piece to Cartier for servicing. If they service it, then it’s real. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, though.
Just in case it helps. I purchased mine from Collector Square (as I wanted the old screw system) as I wanted to double check authenticity (although I think you’re pretty safe with Collector Square) I took it to Cartier and asked to have it engraved. They did, no problems, they didn’t charge me either!
I haven’t done this recently, but I used to bring my preloved Cartier purchases to the boutique and ask for written valuation statements for insurance purposes. I can’t remember if I had to leave the pieces with them or not, but I was always provided with the letters, and there was no charge fir the service. I’m sure they would not provide a written valuation for an unauthentic piece.
I tried this, it may differ in different boutiques, but I was told they can only provide a valuation for the original purchaser.
Not normal, but quite common with the new screw system. Cartier are now repairing this because they realised a lot of bracelets were coming loose, so maybe take it in to see what they can do to stop it coming loose .
I purchased mine from Vestiaire Collective (came with box, papers, shopping bag, certificate) and it was in perfect condition. I did this also because I wanted the old screw system, as someone else mentioned above me. I managed to also save over £2000 off the retail price too (which helped convince my husband to let me buy it, lol.)
If buying from eBay, try to buy from Japan. They have extremely strict counterfeit laws and are usually very reliable with authenticity with resellers. My mum bought a 6 diamond WG Love Ring from a Japanese reseller a few years ago, came with box, papers etc - it's authentic and has just gone in for a service at Cartier.
