The solar beat was such a great compromise between a classic watch at a great price that did something slightly different than quartz.

For those still interested in the tank and on the fence about quartz I will say this: the quartz used is a high level and not on par with a typical low cost watch. Further, it’s the same quartz they use on their 10k dollar Louis Cartier tanks of the present. I understand not doing it though.



Here’s the regular tank must large on my roughly 6 1/4 inch wrist. Nice piece but the feel on the wrist wasn’t great because the case has 0 curve to it. Passed and went with the santos, which predates the tank and can have a black strap added.

Reading these posts almost makes me wanna pick one up on a whim, the price really is excellent to be fair. In comparison the RRP is even lower than my frederique constant world time which I picked up a month ago which I consider to be the best bargain in todays watch market for this price bracket.

I kinda sidle with your view though, it somehow didn't sing to me when I tried it on and I've tried on many Cartier watches. Sad to say but it was pretty underwhelming
