Cartier Tanks?

I know this is the wrong forum, but I don't know where else to ask.

My wife wants a Cartier Tank. I'm thinking steel. I'm partial to vintage, but I don't know that she cares too much either way. I know they come in several shapes, so we'll need to do some research on that front.

Any suggestions on where to look for them? Any suggestions on places to learn about them?

Thank you!

The Tank only comes in the one "shape". Although it does come in slightly different configurations and sizes. As far as your wife's taste goes, I envy you. You're lucky she gravitates to pieces on the "cheaper" side ;) - unlike mine...

Cartier's site does a good job of breaking them down without being overwhelming, in my opinion. Get a general idea there, then skim through WatchRecon for real photos - https://www.watchrecon.com/?brand=ca...nk&last_days=0

My wife loves her Cartier Tank XL. Buy various color straps, she'll love it even more.

I think on this mostly male forum it is common to consider that the size of watch should correlate to the size wrist.
In my experience the opposite has been true with the women I know.

For what it’s worth, I strongly recommend having her with you to try them on.
