The case has some minor wear but the plating is still intact. The dial is mint without any nicks or scratches. The crystal has some light scratches that can’t be seen with the naked eye. The original crown is in perfect condition. The movement is serviced and is keeping great time: 5s/d, 278º
The Cartier Tank, firstly introduced in 1917 by Louis Cartier, is an all time favourite of mine. It represents classic style and sophistication without being over the top. The rectangular case and the roman numerals give really mesh together into a work of art.
Personnally, I think this watch can be worn in all occasions. Throw it under a nice suit or just with a plain white t-shirt and a military jacket. There is no way to go wrong with a classic Tank!
