    Cartier Tank = PURE CLASS ON YOUR WRIST! And this is an absolutely GORGEOUS example with that stealth black dial and gilt/gold writing! Just placed on a brand new black lizard strap - classic combo!

    YEAR: App late 70s - mid 80s

    DIAL: VERY tricky watch to photograph, between the black dial and the curved crystal, but even with a few reflections you can see how absolutely GORGEOUS this dial is!!! The black and the gold is pure bad ass elegance! A few specks/dust particles, common with these (and some landed on top of the crystal while photographing in macro) but all in the dial presents beautifully and clean (as you can see in the wrist shots) - it's a fantastic example!

    CASE: This is the vintage men’s version, measuring in at 23.5MM x 30.5MM. A small and classy watch, equally suitable as a midsize or unisex swatch. Pictured on my 6.6 inch wrist, it wears beautifully. The Vermeil case, a Cartier staple of gold over sterling silver, has wear throughout, as to be expected given the age. This example has none of the plating loss usually found on these! And of course that sweet crown with its blue cabochon!

    MOVEMENT: Cartier (ETA) hand wound movement running very well, service history unknown, but feels smooth when winding and setting and keeping great time, within about 18 seconds a day.

    STRAP: Comes on a brand new 17mm black lizard strap (tried on only to photograph) - it’s thin and elegant and about as classic as it gets!

    ACCESSORIES: Watch on strap only.

    PRICE: $1595 which will include 2 day fully insured shipping through FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to-face deal in the Los Angeles area is always welcome, with a small discount offered.

    No trades, thanks.

    Payment via Venmo friends and family, Zelle, Wise, or bank wire.

    No returns unless misrepresented and it absolutely will not be, I am a passionate collector first and foremost and I go out of the way to treat buyers the way I want to be treated and I’m the buyer. Lots of great feedback to show that!
