I’ve travelled a fair bit with mine both domestically and internationally. The only time I was asked to remove it was in Paris airport and I began to get flustered and said - oh i actually can’t take it off. And he says in his very French accent “Cartier?” And waved me through. I loved that the French security people know what a Cartier love bracelet is!!!
Two things!
Yesterday I looked down and noticed my Cartier SM love hanging off my wrist. I initially thought the lock mechanism was still in the lock position but I subsequently realized that it had somehow come unlocked by itself! I am now super worried about wearing it and losing it. Honestly I feel like it never locked properly - it just didn’t feel secure. It kind of moved/clicked back and forth. Do you think Cartier would consider taking it back and giving me a credit so I could get a Regular size instead?
Secondly, it’s the first time I’ve taken it off in 6 months and I’m wondering if it’s tarnished or just dirty. It looks awful! Pics attached.

I’ve had mine for 3 years and it never budged and doesn’t look like that. Definitely bring it in to have it looked at
Wow. 
That really looks like being a plated fake Love

p.s. I noticed that there is some dirt accumulating on the sides but I stack my 7 Loves. Once a while I clean them with a soft cloth and some soap. However, it never looked like yours where it really looks like some plating is coming off. The only plating I am aware of are Cartier's WG items with diamonds. But weren't there some plated steel versions of the Love at the very beginning 60 years back or so?
I know!! If I had not purchased brand new direct from Cartier I would assume I had been sold a fake.Wow.
Yes it’s weird because I don’t even stack it with anything. It’s all on its own.
I think this grants a book. Haha.
some people don't mind scratches.
Some do so it's all about sizing, position, and even orientation of a bracelet.
What do you intend to stack?
No idea yet, but I wore my apple watch on the small side not realising the side button scratches a little on my bracelet and my heart breaks a little though I know eventually scratches will be on the bracelet if worn daily
