longvu88 0 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Nope, I don't think so! Gday all. I have been following this forum for a short while but this is my 1st post. I don't see any post on the Tank on this forum. Hence, I figured it will help those that are looking into getting one for himself. It was a bit unusual I must say. My 1st rep watch was not a Rolex, PAM or anything along that line. I was a Cartier Tank Solo, stainless steel. Some would say that its too small for today's standard, and its more like a women's watch. I beg to differ. The tank solo large that I ordered from a TD was a bomb. Solid build, 1:1 and the watch is small so people cant really tell if its a rep. And it sits nicely on my wrist to the office daily, under the cuff. I have received quite a few compliments on it. And they were from people who know watches. "Nice tank" they said. So, for those who are hesitate to pull the trigger on this beautiful piece of work, thinking that they may be too small for you, please see the photos below for yourself.

insert-here 0 Posted October 5, 2015 I have a tank of my purchase list, I think it's a great looking dress watch. Been thinking of the Anglaise in RG, even though I don't like RG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyrosey 2 Posted October 5, 2015 I have a tank and not the solo but the original that is sloghtly smaller and works perfect as a dress watch but i also wear it casually. It adds way more style and class than a huge 48mm bling watch i must say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyKrush 16 Posted October 18, 2015 Actually saw a chap at an event last weekend with a similar watch and it looked fantastic. No issues on your wrist that I can see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted October 18, 2015 Looks great. Square and rectangle watches wear big anyway, and that looks the perfect size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ByranM 0 Posted October 25, 2015 It looks fine to me, it doesn't seem girly to me at all. Although to be honest I'm not a fan of square / rectangle watches so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dudermania 0 Posted October 25, 2015 I bought the gen for my wife a couple of years ago. I do feel that there's an effeminate quality to the watch - its beautiful and an understated classic design with great pedigree but somehow I'm not hugely taken by it. It may also be to do with the way I look at Cartier the brand and as a guy don't feel associated with it. For a rectangular classic design dress watch - I'd go for the Jaeger le Coultre Reverso any day. In particular the new Grande Date Duoface. On the current bucket list.
