I see your point and you are indeed right. Too big the range would make the positioning of this iconic model less clear. In the past, when people mentioned Tank, there was only one image come up in the mind. But now, it becomes less clear. To me, my watch does not have to be a Tank. I like this brand and just want to get a Cartier watch that speaks to me. It could have been a different model within Cartier's lineups. But at the end of the day, you and I are both Cartier fans. That's all that matters! 😉

Yes, we are on the same page on this, my friend. If Cartier stops making small and large Tank and replaces them all with just extra large, then, I think it would not be a good thing. But here the company is simply providing an additional choice in terms of size but still keeping the smaller sizes, I would consider this evolving and expanding the heritage rather than abandoning it.

By the way, I also notice that the extra large is available to Tank Must only but not Tank Louis. Perhaps Cartier intends to preserve the tradition through the more high-end version but expand the entry level version to appeal to more people. Just my guess.

In any event, this reflects just my personal taste, and I do find that the traditional small Tank looks gorgeous on the wrists of many others. Sometimes the same elegance from a small watch cannot be pulled off from a larger watch. So, despite I picked the larger size, I have a high regard to the smaller version. 🤝

No.. they are Tank Must of different sizes. But note that the extra large has a different dial design.

Your Pick of the Cartier Tank?

Most Cartier Tank watches are unisex. But given average men's wrist's size, usually a size of at least medium fits better for men. Some Tank lines only carry small and large but not medium. So, I use...
