I need to handle it on person before I say yea or nay....
So much will depend on how I like operating the crown. I have no problems with the basic design, though I would prefer it on a strap, as it eventually will come. For now I most like the Louis Cartier designs (power reserve model with date in particular), which perfectly balance elegance with masculine dimensions in a dress watch.

A look at the Tank Anglaise
Cartier’s major new product line for 2012 is the Tank Anglaise. Reactions to this have been mixed, because of its dramatically different proportions from earlier Tank watches. Visually this retains all the traditional Tank design cues, starting with the i...
On the wrist, with a strap
I reckon the strap version will look the best. I'm looking forward to actually seeing it in production on the strap. - SJX

Yay
Well I have only seen the watch in photos and base my choice on that. And it looks good on Bernard with a strap. The integrated crown look fine and I view it as an evolution of the Tank. Although, I must say I am wonder about the ease of use. The "crown g...
Only in gold on bracelet for now
But I am sure we will see steel versions and also on strap in the near future. - SJX
The brain says Yea and the heart says Nay
The force majeure that Is Cartier cannot fail so the brain says any shape will do! Tank Anglaise: A big chunk of gold and the Cartier branding.....instant commercial success in China, Asia and elsewhere. Richemont shareholders are safe. The heart says Nay...
Nay! Looks better on the strap but still not for me.
I do not care for it. I think they are taking a turn in the wrong direction. Aesthetically it just looks off, the sides of the case look like the were over poured in the mold and left to be.
