How do you find it wears on the wrist? Too small or just right? Been looking at the black dial that just came out for something more dress orientated and classy.

It actually feels perfect on the wrist. I have a 6.3" wrist. I did see see someone with the black recently and he had a larger wrist but still looked amazing. I may get the black as well down the road. If Muhammad Ali can pull it off, I think anyone can

Michelle, my wallet wishes you wouldn’t have started this thread.
I had a Cartier cle de about 6 yrs. ago but traded it; I wish I wouldn’t have done that now. I know my end game will be a watch with Roman numerals, I just can’t decide between Cartier or Rolex. Tank vs. Santos or Datejust. No rush…I have years, to decide. My question to you would be is the quartz movement in the Cartier Tank worth $3,000+; and what would be the trade off in price going automatic with Cartier vs. Rolex. Which brand has the more robust/ reliable movement, or are you paying for brand recognition? btw: I’d love to see an updated pic of your amazing collection you’ve acquired Regards! |

I have no issues with the 3k ish price for a Tank quartz. I absolutely love my Blue Must. I've thought abut the black version as well or the Tank Louis black in YG. That is Manual wound. I am a huge Rolex fan but for some reason I don't like Romans on the DJ. I much prefer it on Cartier. Of course as you can see by my Cartier collection, no numbers at all for a Tank is my favorite. I do think Rolex is more robust. With Cartier you are paying more for design IMO. I will will post a pic of my collection again at some point. It is ever changing. |

Cartier has some of the most beautiful designs in the industry, close to VC for me, but the fact so many of their pieces are still quartz is a bad look on the brand to me. I can understand having steel tanks and some other smaller, women's watches in steel be quartz given the market for those watches is less likely to care about the internals...but the fact that gold tanks are still being made with quartz and going for 10K USD is a stain on the brand.
Further, the quality of the time pieces is not what I would expect for what you pay for. I picked up the new Santos medium steel a few months ago and was very dissapointed with the movement accuracy as well as the weight, or lack there of, of the bracelet. There is just too much competition in the watch industry today for Cartier to not offer better quality here. Especially with the move to in house movements on the Santos, one should expect a more accurate time piece for example. Its such a shame because the designs are so classic. |

Plus as I stated, there are other quality concerns on their non-quartz watches that undermine the brand for me. I wish it wasn't;t the case as the Santos is a stunner of a watch. |

Just pickup this WSSA0017 and I’m loving it so far. Great for a larger wrist and still feels like a Cartier Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I dropped of my Tank Francaise, 18 k WG at the Cartier boutique in Las Vegas. Getting a full service and also requested a new strap. I said I wanted the short strap rather than the regular length. My concierge measured the existing strap, regular length, then asked about hole spacing on the new short. Since it’s a special order it will take some time, but it will be attached when the service is complete. Cost for the strap $375.00. The service is estimated at $550.00 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
