Cartier Tank with quartz movement is ok, right?

I am looking for a watch for my wedding. Actually I had decided on the Cartier Tank Must XL, but unfortunately the watch feels too big on my wrist. Now I am thinking of buying this beautiful Tank ref. WSTA0072. My only doubt: it has quartz movement. That shouldn't be a deal breaker, right?

No it shouldn't if you like it get it.

Yeah my other half is looking at the same for the wedding the XL is big even on my 7” wrist for a dress watch, maybe get the solar powered one as it’s a very clever design?

If you like it, it's ok.

The solar powered one is not available in Germany, and it does not have the beautiful silvered flinqué dial like on the XL.

It's a total plus here, as one can't even use the lame sweep second hand excuse.

The XL is the only one with the engine turned dial - but its far too big!

Go for a Quartz (or solar if you can get it) in large.

Its a brilliant watch!

Mrs has a quartz Cartier, it's beautiful 😍. Can't tell it's quartz because no second hand.

Go for it 👍🏻👍🏻

·

The XL is too big for pretty much everyone. This is a great-looking watch, if you like it, get it.

·

Well, no seconds hand, so, does it really matter?

Shame you can’t get and agreed love the dial on the XL I went for a Fears for mine later this year

Why what’s wrong with quartz? Accurate ✅ hassle free and a bit kinda maintenance free really ✅ I say get it don’t be a snob 😂

·

It’s a lovely watch. I’d have no issues with it being quartz.

Quartz is only ever a problem when the movements are cheap and plasticky. I doubt Cartier is getting their movements from the back doors of Chinese sweatshops. There isn't even a seconds hand, so one won't be able to tell it's quartz unless you hold it to your ear or open it up. Go for it!

This one is exactly what it should be! 💯
