niceandcivilized 0 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Greetings all! I've been lurking here for awhile and I've recently decided to get back in the rep game with a stainless steel Cartier Tank Solo from Silix. This is a fantastically solid watch. Bulletproof quartz movement that keeps perfect time with no second-hand tell. The gen is quartz too so no worries there. On the Silix site, it is simply impossible to see the level of detail in the dial of this watch. The dial is a light champagne color that literally glistens in the sunlight, just like the gen. The glossy black roman numerals standout as they are slightly rounded and raised, which catches the light in a very 3 dimensional way. Anyways, thought I would share! This is the first watch in my watch box, but hopefully not the last! (I recently lost my Seiko 5, and every rep that I used to have has either failed or broken from mishandling etc) In the picture below, I did my best to capture the raised printing of the roman numerals.

Enjoy it m8 I think that the printing is quite crisp and my iPhone just does not do it justice. It looks just as crisp as the gen (and I've compared the two at an AD, side by side) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patgonised5796 0 Posted June 16, 2016 Nice watch. Does the leather come with the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stp1966 0 Posted July 19, 2016 Very nice! Is this the largest it comes in? 35mm in the long direction still strikes me as small. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niceandcivilized 0 Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks for the review! How does the leather feel? Leather feels quite cheap and plastic-y like most reps, but it looks okay :P Nice watch. Does the leather come with the watch? Yes, leather is included along with the deployment clasp Very nice! Is this the largest it comes in? 35mm in the long direction still strikes me as small. Thanks. I believe you can get this is larger sizes, but you would need to consult with the TD of your choice to find out more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy it m8 Try Robbie at AooBuy (TD) he has some excellent Solo Tank reps . I have purchased two from him a RG large brown leather strap, and a pink dial Small SS with purple deployment strap . Both a stunningly good reps ( described as 1;1 best edition ), quartz and spot on when compared to gens . The straps aren't the best , but pretty good and if you want easily changed . I purchased both as presents , they look seriously good on the wrist . Unfortunately i have an 8 .5 " wrist so the Large looks a bit small on my wrist , otherwise i would have got one for myself .
