So clearly, I've been trying to get something that looks like the Cartier tank styles.

I chanced upon this. Length: 32mm



Am tempted to buy it, but it will look rather small on me.
Should I?
Let me hear your honest thoughts

 

Certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

 

if one' desires a Cartier Tank, (and it is a noble desire) anything other than a Cartier Tank on the wrist will just remind oneself it is not a Cartier Tank.

Go for the original. Stainless/quartz wont break the bank and will still look fabulous.

 

32mm height and that thin... might not look particularly masculine on most wrists....

The smallest reverso is currently 34mm... The medium which looks great on my 7.5inch wrists is 40mm tall, and I would not go smaller then that.

 

I think it will make your butt look big...



My dad has a Cartier Tank, and while it is a little bigger then this one, it still looks too small for anything short of being a bit dressed up in my opinion.

 

Even the vintage tanks are in the 40x25mm range. Any smaller is often too small ... but Cartier Tanks can easily be picked up in the sub £800 range.

 

^Thanks guys!

It's a little tough finding a good alternative (cant afford Cartier just yet)

Looks like I should get a few mms bigger. Would appreciate any suggestions too

 

Cyma and Tavannes from the late 30s and 40s ... a really good one will run to less than £500. Will look up some cheaper Cartiers and, if there's anything decent, will drop you a message.

 

cheers




hmm not too bad

 

WTF no way I didn't know this. I guess I've never taken the time to search... damn you for feeding this disease.

I have tiny tiny wrists and 32mm is even too small for my twig arms

 

Didn't know which? That the older tanks are that size or that the Cartiers can go for so little?

 

That the older tanks can go for so little. I though they were all ~1500+ish

 

It all depends where you shop

 

Just change your avatar to a hot babe. The watch will be perfect.

 

Or go high end
