Cartier - Tank MCs!!!

Tank MCs!!!

The Tank MC is one of my shortlist (or should I say "longlist" since there are too many candidates of watches in my loooooonglist). Made a trip to the Cartier boutique in Singapore today and managed to see all 3 MCs at the same time! Steel, rose gold and the palladium skeleton. I am not a fan of skeleton watches although this Tank MC skeleton does look very impressive.

I like the rose gold but feel the price is not worth it compared to the steel version as the level of finishing in the movement is exactly the same. Either the steel or rose gold in silver classic Cartier dial with blued hands for me.

Probably the steel version which is really nice and at a great value for the design and finishing (case, dial, movement, the overall package) plus it's an inhouse Cartier movement.

Some pics to share (brought my Montblanc Villeret along as my companion today).

Cheers Robin

Love the MC's

And agree that the steel version is the best value unless you want a precious metal, of course. Beautiful things, Cartier is really catching my attention recently!

Maybe this can be another upcoming community watch?

Along with the rolex bruiser and the Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec ... Glad you like it too! Confirms we have good taste! :) Cheers Robin

Opps I forgot you already got this watch

During Christmas! You posted yours I remember now. Indeed the Tank MC is already becoming a community watch here :) Cheers Robin

Probably the best entry into Cartier mechanical watches

By: MTF : February 4th, 2014-18:33

Robin, I agree. As I've said before (some say ad nauseum ) ;) the steel Tank MC should be on the shortlist of people who want to go into mechanical timepieces from Cartier. It has the " qualities and heritage of the brand " but still allows entry into the...

Agree with you Melvyn

It is indeed a good entry watch to Cartier mechanical watches with all the heritage of Cartier. If the rose gold version were double instead of 3x the price, I will strongly consider it too. Cheers Robin

... but the RG is nice as well ...

:-) The question for me would be, what looks better on your wrist. Cheers, Oliver ...

Arghhh... the RG...

Indeed I prefer it based on its warmth. And somehow I want a gold cartier... I dont know why! :) Maybe becos I got a RG cartier ballon bleu for my wife and I want to match her watch (I don't have a cartier yet). Thanks Oliver for the good reminder - what ...

They are attractive

& masculine. Bring along at next GTG. Melvin

I have not bought it yet!

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : February 5th, 2014-05:38

But there is a chance I may before our next GTG Melvin! :) You know me well.... :p Cheers Robin

I'm looking forward to seeing the Tank MC Skeleton some day....

By: WHL : February 11th, 2014-09:59

but that is a different league entirely!! My favorite Tank MC is the stainless steel with silver dial. When it comes to the gold, I really prefer the Tank Louis Cartier Extra-Flat, which is a little narrower and much thinner, but such an understated beaut...

Tank MC vs Tank LC

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : February 11th, 2014-17:19

Hi Bill Like you, my current favorite for Tank MC will be the steel with silver dial. I had mentioned a gold Cartier will be more special and starting looking again and indeed (before I read any articles by Fx or you previously), the Tank LC ultra thin XL...
