Where's Bas and his tank?

Great watches guys, Cartier sure makes some pretty nice watches.

I really like the Calibre on bracelet. If I ever get a Cartier - that will be the one.

I know Cartier doesn't get "the love" from many, but I love this brand a lot, so I'm sure I make up for that.

Crummy photo that doesn't do these beautiful watches justice... sorry about that!

Thank you

There is one downside though, it's a quartz.
The Tank solo XL with automatic movement was in my price range but the addition of a seconds hand and a date-window took away the clean look of the classic tank dial, that's why I went with the slightly cheaper quartz version.
The LC Tank ultra thin in 18k rosegold was far beyond my budget, but never say never right?

I must agree with you and the quartz has a plus in that it keeps on running ...

The line is so clean and so refreshing. No fuss!! And never say never is

correct regarding the RG Tank ultrathin.

does anyone have the Tank MC that just came out?
what kind of discounts can be expected if bought from AD/online AD?
cartier seems to lose value rather quickly like Breitling

I love the snake leather strap, it is a bit more elegant/classy than my crocodile strap.

That santos/demoiselle with diamonds looks really beautiful!

That's the first diamond encrusted watch that has got the thumbs up from me :)

Gorgeous pieces. I'm a huge fan of the Tank Solo. And the gold on black reminds me of this, one of my favorite watches ever.
