Hi everyone - Picked up a nice, large size, vintage cartier LC tank recently and the lug bar screw (Is that the word? They're not spring bars, they're screwed in) is coming loose. They're screwed in. Tiny screws. Would anyone know the size?
Haha, fair enough. I need to do a better job with photos. This is a special one. Years ago, at The Armoury in NYC, AnalogShift had a popup with a bunch of vintage watches, and they had a 1970s LC "Jumbo" Tank Automatique. These are pretty rare. Thing is, it wasn't ACTUALLY a jumbo. It was an even rarer "large" version, which is smaller than the jumbo. I don't think they knew what they had. Imagine my surprise when I did finally see a jumbo in the wild and realized I had fallen in love with a different watch altogether. FWIW, I find the jumbo to be a bit grotesque in its proportions, and hate how it wears, even at 190cm tall. Took me years and years to track down a large automatic, but here you go. Also needs a new crystal, and need to figure out where to source one of those.
