Cartier

Thanks all for your feedback on my question regarding the mineral glass of the Cartier Tank LC XL.

Went shopping for the Cartier with my trusty Montblanc Star Worldtime. Richemont's #1 and #2 side by side.

Resistance is futile. Credit card followed....

Completely in love!

Love the blued hands

The Cartier C buckle. Very comfortable on the wrist. Strap is very tight now as it's not seasoned yet but I think the tang buckle is more comfy than  This message has been edited by jrwong23 on 2014-03-28 03:22:10 This message has been edited by jrwong23 on 2014-03-28 03:22:51

Congratulations!

For sharing in my joy.
I can't sleep tonight. Always the case when I buy a brand new watch.

That is a nice complement to your other watches in many ways.

Best regards,

It indeed is the missing piece in my collection.
Thank you for sharing in my new pride and joy

as you said and also love on first sight as I see

I first saw it... well how did I first see it?
Oh yes I was initially looking at the new Tank MCs instead. Then spotted this LC and fell in love.
Went to do some research and read Fx's reviews. Got poisoned by his pictures.
Did more research and got stuck on the mineral glass.

Finally decided to go with true love. True love often mean we overlook small weaknesses and accept our true love. That's why I am overlooking the mineral glass

Thanks for your kind words Damjan!

I always wonder though, how comfortable it is to wear for longer periods - with the case being perfectly flat it tends to lie on top of the wrist rather than hug it.

For your kind words.
It is still brand new and the leather is not seasoned to my wrist yet. Still very stiff.
I am wearing it very tight for now as I want to season the strap. Yes it sits very flat indeed but so far no discomfort although the lower part of the strap does not wrap around my wrist well yet as it is still very stiff.

I will let you know more details after I wear it for a few more weeks
So far so good

To many more photos !

you have my envy. Still so many temptations as I am saving up for my grail. The Tang looks perfect on your wrist... who knows I might just succumb.

 

Cheers!

For your kind words.
For now I am taking off a bit from the grails so I can enjoy some "more accessible" watches.
I bought a few "grails" last year so need to slow down this year and save up for next grail.

Meanwhile, good looking watches at good value will be my focus for this year.
But I am mainly keen on classical watches only and this Cartier Tank LC is such a perfect classic! I tried to resist for past 2 months but still fell for it.

Cheers

I'm happy for you on this one (and a bit envious too!)

Wear it in the best of health.

Bill

Don't be envious! You have many more fine watches than me

This watch is pure class! I find it a bit too large for my taste but what a pleasure when put on the wrist!

The handwind Piaget movement is perfect in this context.

Congrats!

Fx

Yours and Bill's review of this watch influenced me alot to get this beautiful Cartier Tank LC.
