Really considering the 1840 , large automatic 18ct Francaise ... I’ll wait and see if one comes up for a good price !

I love the look, but see them so much on the wrist of women that I’ve decided to shy away from the model. Having said that, I see a fair amount of Daytonas being worn by women too.

What are your options on this watch ? I think it’s just beautiful . That chocolate face with the rose numerals and case is exquisite . Will this watch hold value if you buy used? RRP is £18.5k . Looking to be going for around the £8k mark pre owned. Manual wind Tank Louis after all ... might have to be my next purchase if so .

The current 100 anniversary Louis Cartier is in pink gold and extra thin w jlc movment.

Not certain but I expect it may be limited production.

Very beautiful, I would look no further if you want to own a classic.

Pink gold large size (33.7mm x 25.5mm x 6.6mm).
Spectacular

Men that wear Cartier Tank

Feminine? Eh.

I love a good Cartier tank and have a ton of respect for them as a company. And any man that can pull them off gets a hat tip from me.

Just impulse brought one back in June as a matter of fact that I loved when it hit my wrist at my AD.

That's a great watch. I just impulse bought a Santos after riding the fence on it for what seemed like a year. Really glad I finally bought it because it's a great piece. Pic below along with all the bracelets my daughter made me wear that day......

My 2017 Tank Louis Cartier, manual wind, rose gold. Feels about as classic as it can get. Does not strike me as feminine, although compared to a Daytona it has a different vibe. Different, not feminine.

I think it's pretty classic and iconic. It's one of the few rectangular watches I have left. I love some of the models with the guilloche dial.

I used to own the large automatic tank francaise. I liked it a lot but wasn’t happy with the lack of accuracy. Sold it.

The Tank Americaine is one of the nicest watches I have ever put on my wrist. Would like to eventually buy one!

I feel the Tank design is undoubtedly a classic, however, I think how well it wears is very contextual...

A little skinny for my liking but nothing feminine about it
