Reverso for me!
I am a huge fan of JLC, it's one of my top 3 favorite brands, and the Reverso plays a huge role in my love for the maison.
It's the perfect timepiece for people who want a watch that is instantly recognizable by watch nerds and completely unknown by the broader public.
Wearing one is a sign of being into watches, and flipping the case is always a cool party trick.
The Tank is a great watch, don't get me wrong, but the interesting flipping mechanism and the horological wonders that the reverso case has been a home for make it a unique proposition in the industry.
You won't find any tanks with four dials and 11 complications, you won't find tanks with miniature painting and enameling (at least I don't think so).

Tough call.
Give me the Tank with Mesh, first. I will report my experiences after a year, then let me do the Reverso for another year. By then, I would be able the definitively report my impressions. 😉
Tank as it’s historical importance can not be overrated.
One of the most iconic watches ever. We are so used to seeing it, one may easily overlook the brilliance of its design like you may do with the datejust. Even if I really love the Reverso a lot Tank is level above.

Cartier Tank.
To me that is the more iconic, the more broadly recognized. And the one I’d choose. Thanks for pulling together, a great idea.
Reverso. Duo face = double the fun.
I find it amusing that the tank has always been a dress watch, but the reverso (which has a similar look) was once considered a sports watch. 😂
Reverso
JLC makes its own movements and has supplied other manufacturers for a long time. Cartier only much later manufactured its own movements. Clive
Cartier Tank hands down
Its been around longer, unbroken in lineage, is more historically important, and has significantly more iterations that give each owner their own flavor. And they wear much more svelte than a Reverso, even if you want a reversing feature. ...
