Cartier Tank Appreciation Post

I’m curious to know since WatchCrunch has grown into such an impressive community.  How many #cartiertank owners out there?  Let’s see the photos in the wild.  Other #cartier appreciation posts welcomed, too!  Happy Wednesday!

I love my (small model) Tank! I've got it back on a leather strap now, but here's a photo from the summer time when I had it on the bracelet.

Looks nice, though I think it's too big for your wrist. Something like @tesseraic's would look better, I guess. 

Shrug Cartier Tank, where smaller really is better.

Funny you say that.  This Tank came from a GS.  I went to my AD ready to buy the GS.  I tried it on, along with the Tank and some other pieces.  They ordered the GS and I went home to await delivery of my specific model. I called them next day to say the Tank was too perfect and I’m coming in for it.

I prefer the size of the large over my XL.  But between the 1847 Automatic movement versus quartz, the date, and the dial work, I chose the XL.

I really wanted to like the Tank but it just didn't look good on my 7" wrist. Luckily, there's different styles and I ended up choosing this Tank Americaine. I got it for a great deal off an auction but unfortunately it was from Paris and they could not deliver the strap with the watch. Ordered some from Delugs that should come this Friday and excited to finally wear it.

Just sent mine to a dealer to be inspected and sold! Great watch just doesn’t see much wrist time.

I love the Tank, I was waiting since years for a version which fits me perfect. I have a Santos, so I didn’t want one with Roman numerals and I wanted one with a mechanical movement. So this year was my year, I ordered it right after W&W and finally it arrived a month ago!
