Cartier Tank Must - Small or Large?
Hello everyone 👋
I’m having a really hard time choosing between the small or the large tank must. Which size do you think looks best for my wrist? My wrist size is around 16,5-17cm Thank you! 😊

The small Tank looks really small in that picture, but that's a better picture than close up as it gives a true perspective.
I can’t believe I’m going to say this because people are constantly over sizing Tanks, but I think the large looks better. I would tread carefully though. This watch is meant to be on the small side and looks silly if it covers your wrist like a diver. But based on those pics, I’d say large. Just, whatever you do, don’t consider the XL. It’s beautiful, but it’s too big for almost everybody.
I’m planning on getting a his and hers with the small and large. I think the large size is still small enough and works perfectly without being too small for mens wrists.
The small is really small. The Large is small. I chose the XL for my 6-3/4” wrist. I think it fits great and I don’t care what those other guys say about me. LOL

Thank you for your answer! You are right. A lot of people with tiny wrists buy the wrong tank just because they think the small version is a ladies-only watch. It’s not.
I tried the XL and it was immediately a no go 🙅♂️ Way too big for me.
Go big. The tank looks better a little larger on smaller wrist.

If you like it, then you found the right size.
Yeah, just don't get the XL. Tanks are supposed to wear small and not have a stupid date window.
Based on the photos, L all the way. Happy hunting! ❤️🤙❤️
I think the large looks better.
I bought Tank XL watches for both my daughters last Christmas but while I feel the Tank looks best on a leather or croc strap, my younger daughter cannot carry it off so I decided to upgrade to the metal bracelet. A consideration to me was the in house mechanical movement is found only in the XL, the large has a quartz movement. I know quartz watches are experiencing a surge in popularity but a mechanical movement can last 100 years, I cannot suggest the same for quartz movements. Finally a last thought from a guy who loves Cartier and big cases, honestly the XL appears just a bit oversized while the large could be bigger.
I've probably posted this picture a million times, but that's a 31,5mm Oris on a 7" wrist. I like vintage proportions, so the small is my favourite.
